Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney

BACKGROUND. One of the perspectives of modern Nephrology is the study of the mechanisms of nephrosclerosis in ADPKD. Matrix metalloproteinase system (MMP/TIMP)— enzymes that play a key role in the processes of proteolysis in the kidney. THE AIM: to determine the expression of the urine MMP-2, MMP-3 and MMP-9 and their inhibitors TIMP-1 and 2, PAI-I, to establish their relationship with the volume of the kidney corrected to the surface of the body and the functional state of the kidneys, an additional criterion of progression. PATIENTS AND METHODS. The study included 34 children with ADPKD. The level of MMP-2, MMP-3 and MMP-9 and their inhibitors TIMP-1 and 2, PAI-I were determined in urine by ELISA. RESULTS. eGFR in children with total kidney volume greater than 97‰ was significantly lower than in children with normal total kidney volume. In the group of children with a total volume of the kidneys more than 97 percentile,a statistically significant increase in the level of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 and PAI-I in the urine, and a statistically significant low level of urinary excretion of MMP-3 and MMP-9, compared with the group of children with ADPKD with normal total volume of the kidneys. In the group of children with ADPKD and total kidney volume of more than 97 percentiles of an inverse correlation relationship between the level of eGFR and TIMP-2 and PAI-I, as well as a direct correlation relationship between the total volume of kidney and the urinary excretion of TIMP-1. CONCLUSION. MMP and its inhibitors play an important role in renal damage in children with ADPKD. These proteolysis factors are promising to use as an indicator of the severity of the accumulation of extracellular matrix, that is, monitoring the process of fibrosis, and used as a predictor of progression.

Abstract Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a progressive condition that eventually leads to end-stage renal disease. A phase 3 trial of tolvaptan (TEMPO 3:4; NCT00428948) and its open-label extension (TEMPO Extension Japan: TEMPO-EXTJ; NCT01280721) were conducted in patients with ADPKD. In this post hoc analysis, effects on renal function and the safety profile of tolvaptan were assessed over a long-term period that included the 3-year TEMPO 3:4 and the approximately 3-year TEMPO-EXTJ trials. Methods Patients from Japanese trial sites who completed TEMPO 3:4 were offered participation in TEMPO-EXTJ. Patients whose efficacy parameters were measured at year 2 in TEMPO-EXTJ for efficacy evaluation were included. The annual slope of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and growth in total kidney volume (TKV) were analyzed. Results In patients who received tolvaptan in TEMPO 3:4 and TEMPO-EXTJ, the annual slope of eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) was − 3.480 in TEMPO 3:4 and − 3.417 in TEMPO-EXTJ, with no apparent effect of an approximately 3.6-month off-treatment interval between the two trials. In patients who received a placebo in TEMPO 3:4 before initiating tolvaptan in TEMPO-EXTJ, the slope of eGFR was significantly less steep from TEMPO 3:4 (− 4.287) to TEMPO-EXTJ (− 3.364), a difference of 0.923 (P = 0.0441). Conclusion The TEMPO-EXTJ trial supports a sustained beneficial effect of tolvaptan on eGFR. In patients who received a placebo in TEMPO 3:4, initiation of tolvaptan in TEMPO-EXTJ was associated with a significant slowing of eGFR decline.

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary nephropathy with few treatments to slow renal progression. The evidence on the effect of lipid-lowering agents (statins) on ADPKD progression remains inconclusive. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases (up to November 2019). Changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and total kidney volume (TKV) were the primary outcomes. Mean differences (MDs) for continuous outcomes and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by a random-effects model. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Five clinical studies with 648 participants were included. Statins did not show significant benefits in the yearly change in eGFR (4 studies, MD = −0.13 mL/min/m<sup>2</sup>, 95% CI: −0.78 to 0.52, <i>p</i> = 0.70) and the yearly change in TKV (3 studies, MD = −1.17%, 95% CI: −3.40 to 1.05, <i>p</i> = 0.30) compared with the control group. However, statins significantly decreased urinary protein excretion (−0.10 g/day, 95% CI: −0.16 to -0.03, <i>p</i> = 0.004) and serum low-density lipoprotein level (−0.34 mmol/L, 95% CI: −0.58 to −0.10, <i>p</i> = 0.006). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Despite these proteinuria and lipid-lowering benefits, the effect of statins on ADPKD progression was uncertain.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common monogenic cause of ESKD, is characterized by relentless development of kidney cysts, hypertension, and destruction of the kidney parenchyma. Over the past few years, major advancements in diagnosing, prognosticating, and understanding the pathogenesis and natural course of the disease have been made. Currently, no kidney disease is more suitable for nephron-protective strategies. Early nephrology referral and implementation of these strategies may have a substantial effect. Total kidney volume is a good prognostication marker and allows stratification of patients into slow or rapid progressing disease, with implications for their management. Measurement of total kidney volume, disease stratification, and prognostication are possible using readily available tools. Although some patients require only monitoring and basic optimized kidney protective measures, such as rigorous BP control and various lifestyle and dietary changes, others will benefit from disease-modifying treatments. Vasopressin V2 receptor antagonists, a likely disease-modifying treatment, has been approved in several countries and recently by the US Food and Drug Administration; other therapies, such as somatostatin analogs and other novel agents, are currently in clinical trials. The purpose of this article is to present our views on the optimal management to delay kidney disease progression in ADPKD.
