Choroba policystyczna nerek o dziedziczeniu autosomalnym recesywnym
Epidemiologia
Choroba policystyczna nerek o dziedziczeniu autosomalnym recesywnym (ARPKD) jest rzadką, genetyczną chorobą torbielowatą nerek, z częstością występowania szacowaną na 1:20 000 do 1:40 000 żywych urodzeń, z wyższą częstością w populacjach izolowanych (np. 1:8000 w Finlandii). ARPKD dotyka chłopców i dziewczynki równomiernie, a nosicielstwo mutacji genu PKHD1 wynosi około 1:70 w populacji ogólnej. Choroba manifestuje się w różnym wieku, od okresu okołoporodowego do dorosłości, z około 30% pacjentów ujawniających objawy przed 1 rokiem życia. Diagnostyka opiera się na ultrasonografii (powiększone, echogeniczne nerki, małowodzie, hipoplazja płuc) oraz badaniach genetycznych, które potwierdzają mutacje w genie PKHD1 u około 95% chorych. Śmiertelność okołoporodowa wynosi około 30%, głównie z powodu niewydolności oddechowej, natomiast przeżywalność 15-letnia pacjentów, którzy przeżyli pierwszy rok życia, sięga 85%. Około 50-60% pacjentów rozwija schyłkową niewydolność nerek przed 20 rokiem życia, co wymaga terapii nerkozastępczej.

Epidemiologia: Choroba policystyczna nerek o dziedziczeniu autosomalnym recesywnym
Choroba policystyczna nerek o dziedziczeniu autosomalnym recesywnym (ARPKD) jest rzadką chorobą genetyczną, stanowiącą jedną z najczęstszych dziedzicznych, dziecięcych chorób torbielowatych nerek. Pomimo tego określenia, ARPKD występuje stosunkowo rzadko w populacji ogólnej.12
Częstotliwość występowania
Częstość występowania ARPKD szacuje się na około 1 na 20 000 do 40 000 żywych urodzeń.123 Niektóre źródła podają szerszy zakres występowania, od 1:10 000 do 1:40 000 urodzeń.45 W populacjach izolowanych, jak na przykład w Finlandii, odnotowano wyższą częstość występowania, sięgającą 1 na 8000 urodzeń.6 Natomiast w obu Amerykach (Północnej, Środkowej i Południowej) raportowana częstość wynosi 1 na 26 485 urodzeń, a roczna chorobowość to 1,17 na 100 000 osób.67
W Wielkiej Brytanii niektóre źródła podają częstość występowania na poziomie 5-10 na 100 000 urodzeń.8 Natomiast w Stanach Zjednoczonych częstość ARPKD szacuje się na około 5 przypadków na 100 000 dzieci.9
Należy zauważyć, że dokładna częstość występowania ARPKD jest trudna do ustalenia ze względu na zróżnicowane dane dotyczące pacjentów poddanych autopsji w porównaniu z osobami, które przeżyły, a także możliwość występowania przypadków dzieci, które umierają w okresie okołoporodowym bez postawienia ostatecznej diagnozy.10
Nosicielstwo genu
Częstość nosicielstwa mutacji genu ARPKD w populacjach nieizolowanych szacuje się na około 1 na 70 osób.121011 Niektóre badania sugerują częstość nosicielstwa w zakresie od 1 na 50 do 1 na 70 osób.8 Nosiciele lub heterozygoty są bezobjawowi.10
Ze względu na recesywny charakter dziedziczenia ARPKD, oboje rodzice są zwykle nosicielami mutacji, ale nie wykazują objawów choroby. Ryzyko ponownego wystąpienia choroby w kolejnych ciążach wynosi 25%.1012 Nieobciążone rodzeństwo ma 66% szans, że będzie nosicielem mutacji.10
Czynniki demograficzne
ARPKD dotyka w równym stopniu chłopców i dziewczynki.1101314 Nie stwierdzono predylekcji etnicznych ani rasowych.115 Jednakże niektóre dane sugerują, że częstość występowania ARPKD może być wyższa w regionie Bliskiego Wschodu i Afryki Północnej (MENA) ze względu na częstsze występowanie małżeństw krewniaczych.4
Odnotowano również, że ARPKD może być częstsza w rodzinach mówiących po afrikaans w Republice Południowej Afryki niż w innych populacjach południowoafrykańskich czy populacjach na świecie.16
Wiek wystąpienia objawów
Wiek, w którym ARPKD się ujawnia, jest zróżnicowany. Około jedna trzecia pacjentów prezentuje objawy przed 1 rokiem życia, jedna trzecia między 1 a 20 rokiem życia, a jedna trzecia po 20 roku życia.2 Choroba ta może objawiać się jako:
- Postać okołoporodowa (obecna przy urodzeniu)
- Postać noworodkowa (objawy w pierwszym miesiącu życia)
- Postać niemowlęca (objawy między 3 a 6 miesiącem życia)
- Postać młodzieńcza (objawy po 1 roku życia)1718
Większość przypadków ARPKD rozpoznaje się późno w ciąży lub przy urodzeniu.19 Jednakże w ostatnich latach coraz częściej rozpoznaje się przypadki o późniejszym początku, nawet u osób dorosłych.2021 Analiza mutacji genu PKHD1 wykazała, że ARPKD może wystąpić u osób w wieku powyżej 20 lat, co znacznie poszerzyło spektrum kliniczne choroby.22
Śmiertelność i przeżywalność
Śmiertelność w ARPKD jest najwyższa wśród pacjentów z ciężką postacią choroby nerek, którzy prezentują objawy w okresie noworodkowym, z towarzyszącą niewydolnością oddechową wynikającą z hipoplazji płuc. W tej grupie śmiertelność wynosi około 30% (zakres 30-50%).231315
Pacjenci, którzy przeżyją pierwszy miesiąc życia, mają ponad 80% szans na przeżycie powyżej 15 lat.2 Według nowszych danych z USA, wskaźnik przeżycia dla okresu 2010-2014 wynosił 79%.23 Przeżywalność 15-letnia pacjentów, którzy przeżyli pierwszy rok życia, jest szacowana na 85%.22
Zróżnicowane dane dotyczące przeżywalności obejmują:
- 50% dzieci z ARPKD umiera w ciągu pierwszych dni życia24
- Z dzieci, które przeżyją okres noworodkowy, 50-80% dożyje wieku powyżej dziesięciu lat24
- Około 90% niemowląt z ARPKD, które przeżyją pierwszy miesiąc życia, dożyje co najmniej 5 lat25
- Po okresie okołoporodowym przeżywalność jest wysoka, osiągając wskaźniki przeżycia 1-rocznego i 10-letniego na poziomie odpowiednio 85% i 82%6
Progresja do niewydolności nerek
Tempo progresji ARPKD do niewydolności nerek jest różne dla każdego dziecka.3 Szacuje się, że około 50% pacjentów z ARPKD będzie wymagało terapii nerkozastępczej w ciągu pierwszych dwóch dekad życia.2313
Według niektórych źródeł:
- Około 60% dzieci z ARPKD rozwinie niewydolność nerek do 10 roku życia26
- 60% pacjentów z ARPKD rozwinie schyłkową niewydolność nerek do 20 roku życia27
- Około połowa dzieci, które przeżyją, będzie miała niewydolność nerek w wieku 15-20 lat2829
Nadzór i diagnostyka
Rozpoznanie prenatalne
ARPKD może być wykryta prenatalnie podczas rutynowych badań ultrasonograficznych.2930 W wielu przypadkach potencjalne objawy ARPKD można wykryć przed urodzeniem. Badanie USG może wykazać:
- Powiększone lub „jasne” nerki
- Niedorozwój płuc
- Brak płynu owodniowego (małowodzie) otaczającego płód29
Wykrycie ciężkiego małowodzia jest związane z gorszym rokowaniem ze względu na wysokie ryzyko związanej z tym hipoplazji płuc.6 Biorąc pod uwagę złożoność poporodowego leczenia pacjentów z podejrzeniem ARPKD, poród w szpitalu ze specjalistyczną opieką neonatologiczną i nefrologiczną może być konieczny.23
Rozpoznanie poporodowe
Ultrasonografia jest podstawową metodą oceny ARPKD, szczególnie w okresie okołoporodowym i noworodkowym.313 Badanie USG ujawnia duże, echogeniczne nerki. Rozpoznanie można postawić in utero po 24 tygodniu ciąży w ciężkich przypadkach, ale torbiele są zwykle widoczne dopiero po urodzeniu.32
Powiększone nerki mogą być wykryte wkrótce po urodzeniu jako obustronne masy brzuszne. Badania krwi i moczu są również wykorzystywane do monitorowania czynności nerek.26 ARPKD może być również potwierdzona badaniami genetycznymi, które stają się coraz bardziej wiarygodne wraz z postępem technik genetycznych.26
Rejestry i badania obserwacyjne
Pacjenci z potwierdzoną diagnozą ARPKD powinni być rejestrowani w Narodowym Rejestrze Rzadkich Chorób Nerek (RaDaR). RaDaR ułatwia prowadzenie badań translacyjnych i epidemiologicznych nad rzadkimi chorobami poprzez kompleksową bazę danych klinicznych.11
Rozwój dużych, międzynarodowo zharmonizowanych badań obserwacyjnych i identyfikacja biomarkerów prognostycznych utoruje drogę do badań interwencyjnych.7 Ze względu na rzadkość choroby, opracowanie skutecznych terapii dla ARPKD było utrudnione przez ograniczone modele przedkliniczne, luki w wiedzy na temat przebiegu choroby i markerów prognostycznych tej zmiennej choroby oraz brak jasno określonych pierwotnych punktów końcowych dla badań klinicznych.7
Diagnostyka różnicowa
Liczba dzieci z wczesnym początkiem autosomalnej dominującej wielotorbielowatości nerek jest porównywalna z liczbą dzieci z ARPKD, co może utrudniać różnicowanie w wieku pediatrycznym.1 Istotnym czynnikiem w diagnostyce różnicowej dorosłych pacjentów z ARPKD jest fakt, że objawy wątrobowe, w tym postępujące włóknienie wątroby i nadciśnienie wrotne, występują zwykle u dorosłych.33
Ważny wniosek płynący z danych klinicznych wskazuje, że ARPKD powinna być brana pod uwagę jako rozpoznanie różnicowe u dorosłych pacjentów z torbielowatą chorobą nerek, z lub bez terapii nerkozastępczej. Objawy zajęcia wątroby i nadciśnienia wrotnego, takie jak małopłytkowość lub splenomegalia, mogą być pomocne w ukierunkowaniu klinicznym.34
Wyzwania w diagnozie i monitorowaniu
Diagnostyka i leczenie dorosłych pacjentów z ARPKD może być szczególnie trudne ze względu na niską częstość występowania choroby ogólnie, częściowo nietypowe objawy choroby i bardzo niską częstość początkowych diagnoz ARPKD w wieku dorosłym.20 Wymagany jest wysoki poziom podejrzenia, aby zidentyfikować dorosłych pacjentów z ARPKD, a szczegółowa ocena zajęcia wątroby, w tym poszukiwanie objawów nadciśnienia wrotnego, powinna być rozważona u dorosłych pacjentów z torbielowatą chorobą nerek.34
Choroby współistniejące i powikłania u młodych dorosłych z ARPKD nie zostały szczegółowo opisane w literaturze. Możemy zatem stać przed nowymi wyzwaniami, a nawet nowo wykrytymi objawami tej dobrze znanej choroby, ponieważ coraz więcej dorosłych pacjentów z ARPKD jest leczonych.20
Zaleca się, aby pacjenci z rozpoznaną wielotorbielowatością nerek u dorosłych byli poddawani ocenie genetycznej i unikali „ślepego” poradnictwa genetycznego, zapobiegając tym samym urodzeniu dziecka z ARPKD w następnym pokoleniu.35
Znaczenie badań genetycznych
Badania genetyczne mogą być szczególnie ważne w diagnostycznej ocenie pacjentów z wczesnym początkiem obustronnej torbielowatej choroby nerek oraz włóknieniem wątroby z lub bez torbieli nerek u starszych pacjentów.36 Wynik badania genetycznego jest niezbędny do klinicznego zarządzania chorobami współistniejącymi i powikłaniami związanymi z każdą chorobą, umożliwiając świadome poradnictwo genetyczne, a w przyszłości medycynę precyzyjną na bardziej specyficznej podstawie.37
Znaczenie metod sekwencjonowania następnej generacji (NGS) jako mniej inwazyjnej metody w porównaniu z biopsją nerki stało się globalne. Jeśli chodzi o wczesną diagnozę, metody NGS są zrozumiałe i możliwe do zastosowania nawet w fazie płodowej.35
Bialleliczne warianty genu PKHD1 można znaleźć u ~80% pacjentów z ARPKD niezależnie od ciężkości choroby. Około 95% chorych osób ma co najmniej jeden patogenny wariant w genie PKHD1.38 Mutacje w genie PKHD1 odpowiadają za około 75% przypadków ARPKD.39 Bialleliczne warianty w genie CYS1 zostały również powiązane z ARPKD, ale obecnie dowody są ograniczone.38
Podsumowanie danych epidemiologicznych
Choroba policystyczna nerek o dziedziczeniu autosomalnym recesywnym (ARPKD) pozostaje istotnym wyzwaniem w nefrologii dziecięcej dla pacjentów, rodzin i opiekunów.23 Mimo poprawy przeżywalności, chorobowość tej choroby dotykającej dwóch narządów jest znacząca.22
Obecne dane epidemiologiczne pokazują, że:
- Częstość występowania wynosi około 1:20 000 do 1:40 000 żywych urodzeń
- Choroba dotyka w równym stopniu chłopców i dziewczynki
- Częstość nosicielstwa mutacji wynosi około 1:70 w populacji ogólnej
- Ryzyko ponownego wystąpienia w rodzeństwie wynosi 25%
- Śmiertelność okołoporodowa wynosi około 30%
- Około 50% pacjentów rozwinie schyłkową niewydolność nerek przed 20 rokiem życia
Warto zauważyć, że diagnoza i terminologia prenatalnej diagnostyki oraz przerywanie ciąży są czynnikami, które należy wziąć pod uwagę w epidemiologii choroby.37 Ponadto, choroba może być faktycznie częstsza niż sugerują te szacunki, ponieważ osoby z łagodniejszymi formami choroby mogą nie być diagnozowane bez badań genetycznych.39
Międzynarodowe rejestry, rozszerzone badania genetyczne i lepsze zrozumienie naturalnego przebiegu choroby są niezbędne do poprawy nadzoru nad ARPKD i opracowania skutecznych strategii terapeutycznych w przyszłości.

ARPKD is one of the most common causes of heritable, infantile cystic renal disease. Despite that, it is found in only 1 in 20,000 to 40,000 live births. In nonisolated populations, this suggests a carrier frequency of about 1 in 70. […] There is no gender, ethnic, or racial predilection. Patients who are heterozygous for ARPKD can show mild variations of polycystic kidney or hepatic cystic disease. […] The number of children with early onset autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is comparable to the number with ARPKD, which can make differentiation difficult in the pediatric age group.
- #2 Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease in children – UpToDatehttps://www.uptodate.com/contents/autosomal-recessive-polycystic-kidney-disease-in-children/print
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD, MIM #263200), previously called infantile polycystic kidney disease, is a recessively inherited disorder characterized by cystic dilations of the renal collecting ducts and developmental defects of hepatobiliary ductal plate remodeling, which result in varying degrees of congenital hepatic fibrosis. […] The estimated incidence of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is 1:20,000 live births, with a carrier frequency of one in 70. […] The age of presentation varies with approximately one-third of patients presenting before 1 year of age, one-third between 1 and 20 years of age, and one-third after 20 years of age. […] The outcome of ARPKD is dependent on the degree of kidney and hepatic involvement, which is most often reflected by the age of presentation. The mortality rate is greatest for patients who present as neonates with severe kidney disease associated with pulmonary insufficiency, with reported rates of 30 percent. […] Patients who survive the first month have a greater than 80 percent chance of survival beyond 15 years of age.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects 1 in 20,000 children. […] About 30 percent of newborns with ARPKD die within their first week of life. […] How quickly ARPKD progresses to kidney failure is different for each child. […] Getting good prenatal care is important for increasing a child’s survival rate. […] Children with ARPKD who survive birth often have kidney and liver problems that can affect their breathing. […] Most children with ARPKD have high blood pressure. […] Health care providers diagnose ARPKD with ultrasound imaging. […] Kidney enlargement cannot be prevented or reversed. […] A health care provider can help control blood pressure with medicines. Treating high blood pressure can help delay kidney failure.
- #3 Polycystic kidney disease: MedlinePlus GeneticsLockhttps://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/polycystic-kidney-disease/
Polycystic kidney disease is a fairly common genetic disorder. It affects about 500,000 people in the United States. The autosomal dominant form of the disease is much more common than the autosomal recessive form. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease affects 1 in 500 to 1,000 people, while the autosomal recessive type occurs in an estimated 1 in 20,000 to 40,000 people. […] The autosomal recessive form of polycystic kidney disease (sometimes called ARPKD) is much rarer and is often lethal early in life. The signs and symptoms of this condition are usually apparent at birth or in early infancy. […] Polycystic kidney disease also can be inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. People with this form of the condition have two altered copies of the PKHD1 gene in each cell. The parents of a child with an autosomal recessive disorder are not affected but are carriers of one copy of the altered gene.

The incidence of rare diseases is expected to be comparatively higher in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region than in other parts of the world, attributed to the high prevalence of consanguinity. […] Autosomal recessive PKD (ARPKD) is the less common yet aggressive form of PKD. ARPKD has an estimated incidence between 1:10,000 and 1:40,000. […] Although limited data are available, the published literature suggests that the incidence of ARPKD may be higher in the MENA region due to consanguineous marriages. […] Patients with ARPKD from the MENA region usually present at a later disease stage and have a relatively short time to progress to kidney failure. […] Limited data are available regarding the management practice in the region, which warrants further investigations.

The prevalence of ARPKD is 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 40,000 infants. […] However, the disease may actually be more common than these estimates suggest because people with milder forms of the disease may not be diagnosed without genetic testing. […] Mutations in the PKHD1 gene account for about 75% of ARPKD cases.
- #6 Molecular Pathophysiology of Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Diseasehttps://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/12/6523
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare disorder and one of the most severe forms of polycystic kidney disease, leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in childhood. ARPKD is a rare disease; an incidence of 1 in 8000 births was calculated in an isolated and inbred population from Finland. However, in the Americas (North, Central, and South), the reported incidence is 1 in 26:485 births, and the annualized prevalence is 1.17 per 100,000. The widespread prevalence of ARPKD is estimated to be 1 in 20:000 births. […] ARPKD is phenotypically highly variable; it can present as a disease of perinatal, neonatal, infantile, juvenile, or young adult-onset disease, with no known gender or ethnic bias. […] Detection of severe oligohydramnios is associated with worse outcome due to the high risk of associated pulmonary hypoplasia. Up to 50% of ARPKD neonates die of respiratory insufficiency due to pulmonary hypoplasia and thoracic compression. However, after the perinatal period, survival is high, reaching 1-year and 10-year survival rates of 85% and 82%, respectively.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare hepatorenal fibrocystic disease that often presents prenatally or in the first year of life and remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric nephrology. […] Drug development for ARPKD has been hampered by the rareness of the disease (with an estimated incidence of one in 26,500 live births in America), limited preclinical models, knowledge gaps on longitudinal disease courses and prognostic markers of this variable disease, and a lack of clearly defined applicable primary end points for clinical trials. […] Given the high likelihood that small numbers of patients will be included even for kidney-related end points, it will be of utmost importance to ensure comparable risk stratification among participants in ARPKD trials. […] The development of large internationally harmonized observational studies and the identification of prognostic biomarkers will pave the way for interventional trials.
- #8 Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease | Doctorhttps://patient.info/doctor/autosomal-recessive-polycystic-kidney-disease
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is one of the most common ciliopathies with kidney (nephromegaly, hypertension, renal dysfunction) and liver involvement (congenital hepatic fibrosis, dilated bile ducts). […] ARPKD is the most common genetic cystic renal disease occurring in infancy and childhood. However, it is nonetheless a rare disorder and is much less common than ADPKD. […] Studies suggest a prevalence of between 5-10 in 100,000 births (with carrier frequency of between 1 in 50-70).
- #9 Polycystic kidney disease epidemiology and demographics – wikidochttps://www.wikidoc.org/index.php/Polycystic_kidney_disease_epidemiology_and_demographics

- #10 Pediatric Polycystic Kidney Disease: Background, Etiology, Epidemiologyhttps://emedicine.medscape.com/article/983281-overview
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) occurs in about 1 in 20,000 live births, with a carrier rate of 1 in 70 individuals. The exact incidence of ARPKD is unknown because of varying reports in patient autopsies versus survivors, as well as the possibility of affected children who die perinatally without a definitive diagnosis. The frequency of ARPKD has been reported as 1 case per 10,000-40,000 births, although the frequency of the gene in the general population is estimated to be 1 case per 70 population. […] Because of the recessive inheritance of ARPKD, both parents are unaffected. The recurrence risk in subsequent pregnancies is 25%. Unaffected siblings have a 66% chance of being carriers. Carriers or heterozygotes are asymptomatic. […] The estimated prevalence of ADPKD is 1 case per 200-1000 population. ADPKD is responsible for 6-10% of cases of end-stage renal disease in North America. Because of the autosomal dominant inheritance, one parent is usually affected, and each offspring has a 50% chance of inheriting the gene, with a penetrance of almost 100%. […] Both forms of polycystic kidney disease affect all racial and ethnic groups, and both equally affect males and females.
- #11 Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease — Knowledge Hubhttps://www.genomicseducation.hee.nhs.uk/genotes/knowledge-hub/autosomal-recessive-polycystic-kidney-disease/
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) affects about 1-in-20,000 live births and can be clinically very variable. […] ARPKD is an autosomal recessive condition that affects about 1-in-20,000 live births and has a carrier frequency of 1 in 70. […] Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ARPKD should be registered on the National Registry of Rare Kidney Diseases (RaDaR). RaDaR facilitates translational and epidemiological research into rare diseases through a comprehensive clinical database.
- #12 Polycystic kidney disease – Symptoms and causes – Mayo Clinichttps://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/polycystic-kidney-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20352820
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is far less common than is ADPKD. The symptoms often appear soon after birth. Sometimes, symptoms don’t appear until later in childhood or during the teen years. […] Both parents must have gene changes to pass on this form of the condition. If both parents carry a changed gene, each child has a 25% chance of getting the condition.
- #13 Orphanet: Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney diseasehttps://www.orpha.net/en/disease/detail/731
Prevalence is estimated at 1/20,000 live births. Male and female children are equally affected. […] The disease is associated with reduced life expectancy, although survival is improving. In the case of neonatal respiratory distress, mortality has been described as high as 30-40%. For patients surviving the neonatal period, about 50% will develop ESRD within the first decade of life. CHF is an important cause of morbidity and mortality.
- #14 About the Disease – Polycystic kidney disease | PKD treatment research | PKD Foundationhttps://pkdcure.org/about-the-disease/
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare genetic disorder occurring in approximately 1 in 20,000 children, equally affecting boys and girls. […] Yes, there is a risk of passing on PKD on to your children if you have the genetic mutation associated with the condition. PKD is an inherited disorder caused by genetic mutations, and if one or both parents have PKD, there is a chance that their children may inherit the mutated gene and develop the disease. However, the severity of PKD and the likelihood of passing it on can vary depending on the specific genetic mutations involved. Genetic counseling can help assess this risk and provide guidance for individuals and families affected by PKD.
- #15 Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease | Radiology Reference Article | Radiopaedia.orghttps://radiopaedia.org/articles/autosomal-recessive-polycystic-kidney-disease?lang=us
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is one of the commonest inheritable infantile cystic renal diseases but is far less common than autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) which affects adults. The incidence is estimated at ~1:20,000-50,000. There is no perceived gender or racial predilection. […] The prognosis is poor in general but also significantly depends on the type. Overall, ~40% (range 30-50%) of affected infants die during the perinatal period owing to pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary insufficiency.
- #16https://omim.org/entry/263200
It has long been recognized that the age distribution of cases of polycystic kidneys has 2 peaks, one at birth and one between ages 30 to 60 years. […] Kaariainen (1987) collected information in Finland on 82 children treated during the years 1974 to 1983 for polycystic kidney disease. The frequency was about 1 per 8,000 births. Early lethal disease was present in 51, whereas 31 survived for over 28 days. […] One of the notable features of both dominant and recessive PKD in humans is the variability of the phenotype, with respect to both disease progression and extrarenal manifestations. […] Kaplan et al. (1989) documented marked variability of clinical disease even within kindreds. […] Zerres et al. (1998) estimated the incidence of ARPKD at 1 in 20,000. […] Ramsay et al. (1988) stated that although incidence figures were not available, casual observation indicated that autosomal recessive PKD is more common in Afrikaans-speaking families in South Africa than in other South African populations or in populations elsewhere in the world (Thomson and Isdale, 1984).
- #17 Polycystic Kidney Disease | Children’s Hospital of Philadelphiahttps://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/polycystic-kidney-disease
Autosomal recessive PKD is a rare, inherited form of polycystic kidney disease thought to be caused by a particular genetic flaw that is different from the genetic flaw that causes autosomal dominant PKD. […] Parents who do not have the disease can have a child with the disease if both parents carry the abnormal gene and both pass the gene to their child. […] Carrier parents have a 25 percent chance with each pregnancy to have a child with this type of PKD. […] Autosomal recessive PKD is sometimes detected prenatally (before birth) using a fetal ultrasound. […] Symptoms of autosomal recessive PKD can begin before birth. […] In most cases, the earlier the onset, the more severe the outcome. […] There are four different types of autosomal recessive PKD, depending on the child’s age when symptoms become evident: Perinatal form (present at birth), Neonatal form (presents within the first month of life), Infantile form (presents between age 3 months and 6 months), Juvenile form (presents after age 1).

Prevalence: 1 in 30,000 births. […] The disease has a wide spectrum of renal and hepatic involvement and it is subdivided into perinatal, neonatal, infantile and juvenile types on the basis of the age of onset of the clinical presentation. […] Ultrasound scans every 4 weeks to monitor growth and assess amniotic fluid volume. […] The prenatal type is lethal either in utero or in the neonatal period due to pulmonary hypoplasia. […] The infantile and juvenile types result in chronic renal failure, hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension; many cases survive into their teens and require renal transplant. […] Risk of recurrence: 25%.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD; MIM#263200) is one of the most frequent pediatric renal cystic diseases, with an incidence of 1:20,000. […] The management of newborns with severe pulmonary insufficiency is particularly challenging, also due to lack of reliable clinical prognostic markers. […] Causes of early death are sepsis or respiratory failure, due to lung hypoplasia and displacement of the diaphragm by bilateral nephromegaly. […] In cases of massive renal enlargement, early bilateral nephrectomy, supportive peritoneal dialysis and early aggressive nutrition may reduce infant mortality. […] However, there is no conclusive data on role and optimal timing of surgery, and decision-making is driven by patients clinical condition and expertise of the center. […] The majority of ARPKD patients are identified late in pregnancy or at birth.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a severe pediatric hepatorenal disorder with pronounced phenotypic variability. A substantial number of patients with early diagnosis reaches adulthood and some patients are not diagnosed until adulthood. Yet, clinical knowledge about adult ARPKD patients is scarce. Here, we describe forty-nine patients with longitudinal follow-up into young adulthood that were identified in the international ARPKD cohort study ARegPKD. […] The diagnosis and treatment of adult ARPKD patients can be particularly challenging due to the low prevalence of the disease in general, partly non-typical disease manifestations and a very low incidence of initial diagnoses of ARPKD in adulthood. In the literature, we can only refer to small case series or single case reports on adult ARPKD patients.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare hereditary disease with an estimated incidence of 1:10,000 to 1:40,000. It is due to a mutation in the PKHD1 gene that codes for a protein called fibrocystin or polyductin which is responsible for differentiating between kidney and bile duct tubules. It is characterised by kidney cysts with progressive kidney function deterioration and biliary dysgenesis that causes congenital liver fibrosis. Subtypes can be established according to the age of presentation and severity of the disease: prenatal, neonatal, childhood and young adult. The most severe cases with nephromegaly and Potter’s syndrome are described in the first year of life, while those detected in adolescence are less symptomatic and kidney function deteriorates later. Nevertheless, there are few published articles describing patients that were diagnosed as adults.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a dual-organ hepatorenal disease with an incidence of 1:20,000 to 1:40,000 and a heterozygote carrier rate of 1 in 70. […] ARPKD occurs less frequently (1:20,000 live births) than ADPKD, is commonly diagnosed in utero or at birth, and occurs as a result of mutations in a single gene, polycystic kidney and hepatic disease 1 (PKHD1). […] Nearly 50% of affected individuals surviving the neonatal period progress to end-stage renal disease within the first decade of life. […] The 15-y survival of patients surviving the first year of life is projected to be 85%. […] Despite improved survival, morbidity of this dual-organ disease is significant due to the following reasons: (i) renal collecting duct ectatic cysts and marked renal enlargement, leading to hypertension and progressive renal failure and (ii) biliary dysgenesis, leading to abnormal bile duct formation with progressive periportal congenital hepatic fibrosis. […] Mutation analysis of the PKHD1 gene has shown that ARPKD may present in individuals older than age 20, a finding that has significantly broadened the clinical spectrum of the disease.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare inherited childhood condition where the development of the kidneys and liver is abnormal. […] Even though ARPKD is rare, it’s one of the most common kidney problems to affect young children. […] It’s estimated around 1 in 20,000 babies is born with the condition. Both boys and girls are affected equally. […] If both parents carry a faulty version of this gene, there’s a 1 in 4 chance of each child they have developing ARPKD. […] The outlook for children with ARPKD can vary considerably depending on the severity of the condition. […] But in general, ARPKD is a severe condition and around 1 in 3 babies will die from severe breathing difficulties during the first 4 weeks after birth. […] About 9 out of 10 babies with ARPKD who survive the first month of life will live until they’re at least 5 years old. […] It’s difficult to predict exactly how long a child with ARPKD will live because there’s very little data showing long-term survival rates.

ARPKD is a rare form of PKD, also called infantile PKD. It causes abnormal kidney development during fetal development. Healthcare providers most often diagnose this type in a fetus during pregnancy or shortly after a baby is born. To get this type of PKD, both biological parents must have and pass along the PKHD1 gene mutation to their child. […] ARPKD is extremely rare. It occurs in 1 out of 25,000 people. […] ARPKD can be fatal in babies who are born with a severe case of the disease. The first month of life is critical for babies born with ARKPD. […] The outlook for children with ARPKD isnt as positive. About one-third of all infants born with ARPKD dont survive. Babies who do survive will likely need medical treatment for the rest of their lives. About half of children who survive infanthood will have kidney failure by age 15 to 20.

[…] In many cases, potential signs of ARPKD can be detected before birth during routine ultrasound scans. […] If your baby has the condition, an ultrasound scan may show that: they have enlarged or „bright” kidneys; their lungs are underdeveloped; there’s a lack of amniotic fluid surrounding your baby. […] When your baby is born, there may be clearer signs that suggest they have ARPKD, such as significant breathing difficulties this is caused by the lungs being underdeveloped; a swollen abdomen (tummy) caused by enlargement of the kidneys; Potter’s syndrome where a lack of amniotic fluid leads to deformities of the limbs, face and ears.

Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD) is a common genetic cause of serious kidney problems in infants. But even so, it only occurs in about 1 in every 20,000 to 40,000 newborn babies. This implies that about 1 in 70 people, regardless of age, race, or gender, can potentially carry this disease. […] ARPKD or the Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease has become easier to detect in patients early, thanks to routine antenatal ultrasound. The scans often reveal very large and bumpy kidneys. […] The outcome of patients with complications like lung, liver, and kidney disease depends on the seriousness of these conditions. Newborns with severe kidney disease might not survive due to lung underdevelopment and failure, which can happen in up to 40% of such cases. […] Despite advancements in newborn care leading to better survival rates, neonatal mortality still lies around 20%. Those who do survive the early days of life generally have a ten-year survival rate of approximately 82%. However, these individuals often experience worsening kidney failure, high blood pressure, liver scarring, portal hypertension, and end-stage kidney disease.

ARPKD is primarily a disease of infants and children. The incidence is 1:20,000 births. The kidneys are enlarged, with small cysts, <5 mm, limited to the collecting tubules. [...] ~50% of affected neonates die of pulmonary hypoplasia, the result of oligohydramnios from severe intrauterine kidney disease. [...] ~80% of those who survive the neonatal period are still alive after 10 years [...] One-third will have developed end stage renal disease. [...] Enlarged kidneys may be detected soon after birth as bilateral abdominal masses. [...] Impaired urinary concentrating ability and metabolic acidosis ensue as tubular function deteriorates. [...] Hypertension often occurs in the first few years of life. [...] Kidney function deteriorates progressively from childhood into early adult life. [...] Longer-term survivors frequently develop complications of portal hypertension from periportal fibrosis. [...] Ultrasonography reveals large, echogenic kidneys. The diagnosis can be made in utero after 24 weeks of gestation in severe cases, but cysts generally become visible only after birth.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a genetically inherited pediatric disorder. It is caused by a mutation in the PKHD1 gene located on chromosome 6. The predominant phenotype is characterized by early-onset bilateral enlarged kidneys, as well as fibrocystic changes in the kidney and liver. Fetuses or infants usually present with Potter syndrome, and they are more likely to develop severe renal insufficiency. Generally, patients die perinatally or in infancy. Liver involvement has been reported in adults with ARPKD who have survived the neonatal period and childhood. However, renal involvement is rarely expected in adulthood. […] Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), the leading genetic cause of end-stage renal disease in children, is typically asymptomatic in heterozygote adults. The renal symptoms can arise even prenatally. On the other hand, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is viewed as the main etiology of renal cyst formation in adulthood. Actually, patients diagnosed with ARPKD usually die perinatally or in infancy. Those who survive the neonatal period and childhood face a noticeable risk of early-onset renal insufficiency. ARPKD is typically manifested with early-onset decreased renal function. Approximately, more than 50% of patients require dialysis before they reach the age of 20. In contrast, liver symptoms, including progressive hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension, are usually expected in adults.

The clinical courses and complications in adulthood have not been described in detail. We may thus be facing novel challenges and even newly detected symptoms for this well-known disease as more and more adult ARPKD patients are being treated. […] An important conclusion from our data is that ARPKD should also be considered as a differential diagnosis in adult patients with cystic kidney disease with or without renal replacement therapy. Signs of hepatic involvement and portal hypertension such as thrombocytopenia or splenomegaly may be helpful for clinical guidance. A high level of suspicion is required to identify adult ARPKD patients and a specific work-up of liver involvement including the search for signs of portal hypertension should be considered in adult patients with cystic kidney disease.

A thorough medical history and precise family pedigree seem helpful so as to make the exact diagnosis. However, in terms of adult-onset ARPKD cases, probands parents are usually old. […] Thus, it is strongly recommended that patients who are diagnosed with adult polycystic kidney disease undergo genetic evaluation and avoid blind genetic consultation, thereby preventing the birth of an infant with ARPKD in the next generation. […] ARPKD is considered as a pediatric hereditary etiology of end-stage renal disease, even though the homozygote genotype in adults with late-onset renal manifestations in the absence of hepatic manifestations must not be misdiagnosed with ADPKD. Further evaluations into other factors, including modifier genes, epigenetic factors, and environmental aspects, are essential to explain the diversity of clinical manifestations. The prominence of NGS as a less invasive method compared to kidney biopsy has been surfaced, globally. As far as the early diagnosis is concerned, NGS methods are understood to be applicable even in the fetal stage.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare inherited cystic disease characterized by bilateral renal cyst formation and congenital liver fibrosis. Its incidence rate is approximately 1/2000 and can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in approximately 15-30% childhood/early adolescent patients. Respiratory distress caused by pulmonary hypoplasia is the cause of death in 30-50% of newborns with ARPKD. […] Genetic testing can be particularly important in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with early-onset bilateral renal cystic disease and hepatic fibrosis with or without renal cysts in older patients. ARPKD patients may have extrarenal and extrahepatic manifestations including intracranial aneurysms, left ventricular hypertrophy, neurological abnormalities, abnormal ocular fundus, abdominal pain and deformities of the spine and limbs which can occur in patients of various ages and disease states.
