Choroba policystyczna nerek
Epidemiologia

Choroba policystyczna nerek (PKD) występuje głównie w formie autosomalnie dominującej (ADPKD), stanowiącej około 90% przypadków, z częstością od 1:400 do 1:1000 żywych urodzeń, oraz autosomalnie recesywnej (ARPKD), rzadszej, z częstością 1:20 000 do 40 000. ADPKD jest czwartą najczęstszą przyczyną schyłkowej niewydolności nerek (ESKD), odpowiadającą za 5-10% przypadków wymagających terapii nerkozastępczej. Mutacje w genie PKD1 (85-90% przypadków) wiążą się z gorszym rokowaniem, medianą wieku ESKD 55,6 lat, podczas gdy mutacje w PKD2 dają późniejszy rozwój niewydolności (mediana 67,9 lat). Czynniki ryzyka progresji obejmują mutacje PKD1, wielkość nerek, nadciśnienie tętnicze, białkomocz, płeć męską oraz wczesny początek objawów. Diagnostyka opiera się na ultrasonografii i badaniach genetycznych, które jednak nie wykrywają wszystkich przypadków. Skala Mayo wykorzystująca całkowitą objętość nerek skorygowaną do wzrostu (htTKV) i wiek pozwala na ocenę ryzyka progresji choroby.

Epidemiologia choroby policystycznej nerek

Choroba policystyczna nerek (PKD) jest jedną z najczęstszych chorób genetycznych, dotykającą około 500 000 osób w Stanach Zjednoczonych i około 12,5 miliona osób na całym świecie.123 Występuje w dwóch głównych formach: autosomalnie dominującej chorobie policystycznej nerek (ADPKD) oraz autosomalnie recesywnej chorobie policystycznej nerek (ARPKD).4

Rozpowszechnienie ADPKD

Autosomalnie dominująca choroba policystyczna nerek (ADPKD) jest najczęstszą dziedziczną chorobą nerek i jednocześnie najczęstszą formą choroby policystycznej nerek, stanowiącą około 90% wszystkich przypadków PKD.56 Szacunkowa częstość występowania ADPKD różni się w zależności od źródeł i metod badawczych, wahając się od 1:400 do 1:1000 żywych urodzeń.178 W Europie częstość występowania szacuje się na 1:2500.8

Rzeczywista częstość występowania ADPKD może być wyższa niż wskazują dane kliniczne, ponieważ choroba często pozostaje bezobjawowa i nierozpoznana przez długi czas. Szacuje się, że mniej niż połowa przypadków zostaje zdiagnozowana w ciągu życia pacjenta.79

W badaniu przeprowadzonym w dużej, zróżnicowanej rasowo i etnicznie populacji w USA wykazano, że częstość występowania zdiagnozowanej ADPKD wynosiła 42,6 przypadków na 100 000 osób.1011 Natomiast analiza z wykorzystaniem bazy danych Medicare w USA wykazała punktową częstość występowania ADPKD na poziomie 68 przypadków na 100 000 populacji.12

Różnice w rozpowszechnieniu w zależności od rasy i pochodzenia etnicznego

Istnieją znaczące różnice w częstości występowania ADPKD w zależności od rasy i pochodzenia etnicznego. W badaniach amerykańskich zaobserwowano następujące wartości (na 100 000 osób):10

  • Osoby czarnoskóre: 73,0
  • Osoby białe (nie-latynoskie): 63,2
  • Osoby pochodzenia azjatyckiego/Pacyfiku: 48,9
  • Osoby pochodzenia latynoskiego: 39,9

1011

Chociaż choroba występuje we wszystkich grupach etnicznych i rasowych, niektóre badania wskazują na niższą częstość występowania ADPKD u osób czarnoskórych w porównaniu do osób białych.16 Natomiast schyłkowa niewydolność nerek spowodowana przez ADPKD jest rzadziej spotykana u Afroamerykanów niż u białych Amerykanów.1

W innych krajach również obserwowano różnice w częstości występowania ADPKD. W Niemczech w 2013 roku częstość występowania szacowano na 33 przypadki na 100 000 osób, w Japonii w 1998 roku na 25 przypadków na 100 000, we Francji w 1996 roku na 90 przypadków na 100 000, a w Wielkiej Brytanii w 1991 roku na 41 przypadków na 100 000 osób.1314

Genetyczne podłoże choroby

ADPKD jest chorobą genetyczną dziedziczoną autosomalnie dominująco. Około 85-90% pacjentów z ADPKD ma mutacje w genie PKD1, a większość pozostałych przypadków wynika z mutacji w genie PKD2.15

Około 90% przypadków ADPKD jest dziedziczonych od jednego z rodziców, natomiast 10% wynika z nowej mutacji i występuje u osób bez historii rodzinnej choroby.4 W niektórych badaniach odnotowano, że około 25% pacjentów nie ma historii rodzinnej choroby, co może wskazywać na nowe mutacje.16

Pacjenci z mutacjami w genie PKD1, które powodują skrócenie białka, mają mniej korzystne rokowanie nerkowe, z medianą wieku wystąpienia schyłkowej niewydolności nerek wynoszącą 55,6 lat, w porównaniu do 67,9 lat u pacjentów z mutacjami nieskracającymi białka.17

Rozpowszechnienie ARPKD

Autosomalnie recesywna choroba policystyczna nerek (ARPKD) jest znacznie rzadsza niż ADPKD. Szacowana częstość występowania wynosi około 1 na 20 000 do 40 000 żywych urodzeń, przy czym nosicielstwo szacuje się na 1 na 70 osób.181920 W Stanach Zjednoczonych częstość występowania ARPKD szacuje się na około 5 przypadków na 100 000 dzieci.14

umieralność-związana-z-chorobą-policystyczną-nerek”>Chorobowość i umieralność związana z chorobą policystyczną nerek

Choroba policystyczna nerek jest czwartą najczęstszą przyczyną schyłkowej niewydolności nerek (ESKD) w Stanach Zjednoczonych, odpowiadającą za około 5% wszystkich przypadków ESKD.212 W Ameryce Północnej i Europie ADPKD odpowiada za 6-10% przypadków pacjentów wymagających terapii nerkozastępczej.1522

Progresja do schyłkowej niewydolności nerek

Około 50% pacjentów z ADPKD rozwinie niewydolność nerek do 60. roku życia, a około 60% do 70. roku życia.182 U pacjentów z ARPKD, schyłkowa niewydolność nerek występuje u 60% chorych do 20. roku życia.23

Średni wiek rozpoczęcia terapii nerkozastępczej u pacjentów z ADPKD wynosi około 54,2 ± 11,05 lat, jak wykazało badanie w Hiszpanii.24 Roczne wskaźniki zapadalności na ESKD spowodowaną przez ADPKD w Europie mieszczą się w przedziale 6-8 przypadków na milion osób rocznie.22

Czynniki ryzyka progresji choroby

Zidentyfikowano kilka czynników ryzyka progresji choroby nerki w ADPKD, w tym:79

  • Czynniki genetyczne (zwłaszcza mutacje w genie PKD1)
  • Wielkość nerek
  • Nadciśnienie tętnicze
  • Wczesny początek objawów
  • Płeć męska
  • Białkomocz
  • Wysokie wydalanie sodu z moczem

79

Osoby o zwiększonym ryzyku niewydolności nerek to mężczyźni, pacjenci z nadciśnieniem tętniczym, pacjenci z białkomoczem lub krwiomoczem oraz kobiety z nadciśnieniem, które przeszły 3 lub więcej ciąż.2

Skala Mayo oparta na obrazowaniu jest prostym narzędziem, które wykorzystuje całkowitą objętość nerek dostosowaną do wzrostu (htTKV) i wiek do identyfikacji pacjentów o najwyższym ryzyku progresji, niezależnie od funkcji nerek.925

Umieralność i przyczyny zgonów

Współczynnik umieralności pacjentów z chorobą policystyczną jest prawie 3 razy wyższy niż w populacji ogólnej.26 Główną przyczyną zgonów są choroby sercowo-naczyniowe, odpowiadające za około 27,8% zgonów według badania w Hiszpanii.27

Średni wiek zgonu wynosi około 60,9 ± 14,10 lat, przy czym 96,3% zmarłych miało pewien stopień niewydolności nerek w momencie śmierci.27 Istnieją również dowody na różnice rasowe w umieralności zarówno w kohorcie z przewlekłą chorobą nerek bez ESKD, jak i w kohorcie z ESKD, zwłaszcza wśród pacjentów w wieku ≥65 lat z ADPKD.28

Niedawne badania wykazały trend w kierunku zmniejszonej śmiertelności związany ze zwiększonym zasięgiem i intensywnością terapii przeciwnadciśnieniowej.3

Nadzór i diagnostyka choroby policystycznej nerek

Diagnoza ADPKD najczęściej jest stawiana w następujących okolicznościach:2930

  • Rutynowa ocena bezobjawowego pacjenta z pozytywnym wywiadem rodzinnym ADPKD
  • Wstępna diagnostyka nowo rozpoznanego nadciśnienia tętniczego
  • Przypadkowe znalezisko podczas badania obrazowego wykonanego z innego powodu
  • Ocena objawów specyficznych dla ADPKD

2930

Metody diagnostyczne

Pierwszym krokiem w kierunku diagnozy ADPKD jest uzyskanie szczegółowego wywiadu rodzinnego od pacjenta. Diagnoza ADPKD jest potwierdzana głównie przez badania obrazowe, przy czym ultrasonografia jest preferowanym początkowym podejściem ze względu na nieinwazyjność, niski koszt i szeroką dostępność.2917

Badania genetyczne są zwykle zarezerwowane dla nietypowych przypadków lub w celu wykluczenia ADPKD u młodego potencjalnego dawcy nerki.29 Niedawno badania genetyczne w kierunku choroby policystycznej nerek stały się dostępne w ramach ubezpieczenia Medicare i mogą być zlecane przez genetyka klinicznego lub nefrologa w celu weryfikacji diagnozy.31

Należy jednak zauważyć, że żadne z badań nie jest w pełni dokładne i może nie zawsze wykryć ADPKD, nawet jeśli pacjent ma tę chorobę. Badania genetyczne są bardziej czułe i dokładne w diagnostyce ADPKD, ale mogą być negatywne u 10% osób z ADPKD.32

Badania przesiewowe

Badania przesiewowe osób znanych jako zagrożone rozwojem ADPKD ze względu na historię rodzinną są kontrowersyjną kwestią w środowisku medycznym.32 Niektórzy twierdzą, że badania przesiewowe niewiele osiągają, ponieważ obecnie nie ma leczenia, które zatrzymałoby rozwój ADPKD. Inni argumentują, że chociaż nie można zapobiec ADPKD, badania przesiewowe mogą pomóc w identyfikacji torbieli i umożliwiają leczenie nadciśnienia tętniczego związanego z ADPKD, co może zmniejszyć ryzyko rozwoju chorób sercowo-naczyniowych.32

Obecnie istnieje zalecenie, aby przeprowadzać przesiewowe badanie ultrasonograficzne nerek w wieku 18 lat u osób z ryzykiem genetycznym.33 Badania przesiewowe są szczególnie istotne, ponieważ wczesna diagnoza, wraz z większą kontrolą czynników ryzyka sercowo-naczyniowego, powinna poprawić oczekiwaną długość życia.26

Nietypowe wzorce obrazowe w ADPKD

Klasyfikacja obrazowa Mayo Clinic zapewnia zwalidowane podejście do oceny ryzyka progresji przewlekłej choroby nerek w ADPKD, ale wymaga wykluczenia pacjentów z nietypowymi wzorcami obrazowymi. W dużym badaniu kohortowym z jednego regionu geograficznego udokumentowano częstość występowania nietypowej choroby policystycznej nerek w obrazowaniu na poziomie 8,8% (46/543), co jest bardzo podobne do częstości zgłaszanej w kohorcie odkrywczej używanej do klasyfikacji obrazowania Mayo Clinic.34

W porównaniu z pacjentami z typowymi wzorcami obrazowymi, pacjenci z nietypowymi wzorcami obrazowymi byli starsi i rzadziej mieli rodzinną historię ADPKD, wykrywalną mutację w genach PKD1 lub PKD2 lub progresję do przewlekłej choroby nerek stadium 3 lub 5. Pacjenci z nietypową chorobą policystyczną nerek w obrazowaniu mają doskonałe rokowanie z bardzo niskim ryzykiem ESKD.34

Choroba policystyczna nerek w populacjach specjalnych

ADPKD u dzieci

Choroba policystyczna nerek zwykle objawia się w dorosłości, ale około 2-5% przypadków ADPKD występuje przed 15. rokiem życia.8 Dzieci bardzo rzadko prezentują zaawansowaną przewlekłą chorobę nerek z powodu ADPKD.15

W retrospektywnym badaniu przeprowadzonym na Tajwanie z wykorzystaniem Narodowej Bazy Danych Ubezpieczenia Zdrowotnego (NHIRD) zidentyfikowano łącznie 621 pediatrycznych pacjentów w latach 2009-2019 (średni wiek 9,51 ± 6,43 lat), a częstość występowania ADPKD wahała się od 2,32 do 4,45 na 100 000 osób (łączna częstość występowania 1,26 ± 1,57%).35

W badaniu tym wykazano, że częstość występowania nowo rozwiniętego nadciśnienia tętniczego była znacznie wyższa wśród dzieci z ADPKD w latach 2009-2018 niż wśród dzieci bez ADPKD (0,7 w porównaniu do 0,04 na 100 osobolat). Skumulowana częstość występowania nadciśnienia tętniczego była znacznie wyższa wśród dzieci z ADPKD niż u tych bez ADPKD.36

Częstość występowania kamicy nerkowej wśród dzieci z ADPKD wynosiła 0,4 na 100 osobolat, co było znacznie wyższe niż wśród dzieci bez ADPKD (0,02 na 100 osobolat). Częstość występowania białkomoczu/albuminurii i krwiomoczu była również znacznie wyższa u dzieci z ADPKD w porównaniu do tych bez ADPKD.36

ADPKD na Bliskim Wschodzie i w Afryce Północnej

Częstość występowania chorób rzadkich jest oczekiwanie wyższa w regionie Bliskiego Wschodu i Afryki Północnej (MENA) niż w innych częściach świata, co przypisuje się wysokiej częstości występowania małżeństw krewniaczych.37

Chociaż dostępne są ograniczone dane, opublikowana literatura sugeruje, że częstość występowania ARPKD może być wyższa w regionie MENA ze względu na małżeństwa krewniacze. Pacjenci z ARPKD z regionu MENA zwykle prezentują się na późniejszym etapie choroby i mają stosunkowo krótki czas progresji do niewydolności nerek.37

Badania w regionie Azji i Pacyfiku

Badanie RAPID-ADPKD (Retrospective epidemiological study of Asia-Pacific patients with rapId Disease progression of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease) jest międzynarodowym, retrospektywnym, obserwacyjnym badaniem kohortowym pacjentów z ADPKD w regionie Azji i Pacyfiku (Australia, Chiny, Hongkong, Korea Południowa, Tajpej i Turcja).38

Celem tego wielonarodowego, wieloośrodkowego, retrospektywnego badania kohortowego było określenie charakterystyki klinicznej pacjentów z szybko postępującą ADPKD w regionie Azji i Pacyfiku przy użyciu aktualnych zaleceń dotyczących identyfikacji szybkiej progresji.38

Badanie to obejmuje pacjentów z ADPKD z sześciu różnych krajów w regionie Azji i Pacyfiku – Australii, Chin, Hongkongu, Korei Południowej, Tajwanu i Turcji – i ma zatem heterogeniczną populację ADPKD składającą się z różnych ras, takich jak Chińczycy Han, Koreańczycy, Turcy, Kurdowie, rdzenni mieszkańcy Tajwanu, osoby białe i inni.39

Trendy i perspektywy w epidemiologii choroby policystycznej nerek

Zmiany w częstości występowania

Obserwuje się trend wzrostowy w częstości występowania ADPKD we wszystkich rasach i grupach etnicznych – od 19,5 w 2002 roku do 50,8 na 100 000 osób w 2018 roku.10 Skorygowana względem wieku i płci roczna częstość występowania pewnej i prawdopodobnej diagnozy ADPKD w latach 1980-2016 wynosiła 3,06 (95% CI, 2,52-3,60) na 100 000 osobolat, co jest 2,2 razy wyższe niż wcześniej zgłaszane dla lat 1935-1980 (1,38 na 100 000 osobolat).12

Dzięki zwiększonej świadomości, wczesnej detekcji i leczeniu nadciśnienia tętniczego, wiek wystąpienia ESKD wzrósł, a śmiertelność z wszystkich przyczyn zmniejszyła się.1 Obserwuje się również, że coraz więcej osób progresuje do niewydolności nerek na późniejszym etapie życia niż ich rodzice.40

Implikacje dla zdrowia publicznego

Ze względu na brak obecnie leczenia przyczynowego, strategia profilaktyki pierwotnej oparta na diagnostyce genetycznej preimplantacyjnej powinna odgrywać wiodącą rolę.27 Grupa badaczy z Hiszpanii broni strategii profilaktyki pierwotnej opartej na ustaleniu diagnozy choroby przed posiadaniem potomstwa, poradnictwie genetycznym i promowaniu wykorzystania technik reprodukcyjnych, które zapobiegają przenoszeniu choroby, takich jak diagnostyka genetyczna preimplantacyjna, już dostępna w systemie publicznej opieki zdrowotnej.41

Wczesna diagnoza ma kluczowe znaczenie, ponieważ umożliwia wczesną interwencję, co może zmienić naturalny przebieg choroby policystycznej nerek. Wszystkie interwencje wykazane w ostatniej dekadzie spowalniają wzrost torbieli nerkowych, a zastosowane we wczesnych etapach życia, szczególnie u osoby w wieku 20 lat, mogą naprawdę zmienić naturalny przebieg choroby policystycznej nerek.42

Badania nad chorobą policystyczną nerek

Konsorcjum Badawcze Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD RRC), finansowane przez National Institutes of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), składa się z trzech krajowych Research and Translation Core Centers (RTCC) i centralnego ośrodka koordynującego. Ich celem jest wspieranie współpracy zróżnicowanej społeczności badaczy, którzy pracują nad postępem wiedzy w obszarze choroby policystycznej nerek.43

Badania nad metforminą jako potencjalnym lekiem na ADPKD wykazały, że lek ten wydaje się być bezpieczny i dobrze tolerowany u niediabetycznych pacjentów z ADPKD. Jeśli zostanie udowodniona jego skuteczność w badaniach z dłuższym okresem obserwacji, metformina może być użytecznym, kosztowo efektywnym dodatkiem do arsenału terapii tej choroby.44

Tolwaptan, antagonista receptora wazopresyny, stał się dostępny dla pacjentów z szybko postępującą chorobą policystyczną nerek 1 stycznia 2019 roku. Badania z ostatnich trzech dekad wykazały, że wazopresyna pośredniczy również w wzroście torbieli, co zostało jednoznacznie wykazane w modelach hodowli komórkowych, modelach zwierzęcych i, ostatnio, w dwóch badaniach klinicznych.42

Przewidywane tendencje rynkowe

Według raportu badawczego, 7 głównych rynków choroby policystycznej nerek osiągnęło wartość 358,2 mln USD w 2023 roku. Patrząc w przyszłość, wydawca oczekuje, że 7MM osiągnie 622,1 mln USD do 2034 roku, wykazując stopę wzrostu (CAGR) 6,33% w latach 2023-2034.45

Całkowita liczba zdiagnozowanych przypadków występowania autosomalnie dominującej choroby policystycznej nerek w 7MM wynosiła około 367 042 przypadków w 2021 roku. Zdiagnozowane przypadki występowania autosomalnie dominującej choroby policystycznej nerek prawdopodobnie ulegną zmianie do 2032 roku w okresie prognozy 2022-2032.46

Stany Zjednoczone odpowiadały za około 142 709 zdiagnozowanych przypadków występowania autosomalnie dominującej choroby policystycznej nerek w 2021 roku. W 2021 roku całkowita liczba zgłoszonych zdiagnozowanych przypadków występowania autosomalnie dominującej choroby policystycznej nerek w krajach UE-5 wynosiła około 193 161 przypadków, które spodziewane są wzrosnąć do 2032 roku.46

The disease affects both sexes equally and all races and ethnicities. […] Up to 50% of patients with ADPKD require renal replacement therapy by the age of 60 years. Based on the 2013 US Renal Data System report, cystic kidney disease was the fourth most common cause for patients initiating renal replacement therapy in the USA between 2009-2011. […] A recent study based on the UK Renal Registry reported an incidence rate of 6.8% for adult ADPKD patients commencing renal replacement therapy between 2000 and 2011. […] A report from the European Renal Association European Dialyses and Transplant Registry based on data collected between 1991 and 2010 demonstrated little apparent improvement in postponing age at onset of end-stage renal disease over the past two decades. […] However, a slight improvement in ADPKD patient mortality was indicated by a UK General Practice Research Database study that showed a trend toward decreased mortality associated with increasing coverage and intensity of antihypertensive therapy.

    https://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. […] Most cases of polycystic kidney disease have an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. People with this condition are born with one mutated copy of the PKD1 or PKD2 gene in each cell. In about 90 percent of these cases, an affected person inherits the mutation from one affected parent. The other 10 percent of cases result from a new mutation in one of the genes and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family.

    Among all hereditary renal diseases, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) stands as the most common. […] The frequency of ADPKD is between 1 in 200 and 1 in 1000, and thus, it is estimated that between 250,000 to 1,000,000 people in the United States are afflicted with the disorder. […] Although the disorder is not confined to any specific ethnic or racial group and appears to be world-wide in distribution, there is a lower reported frequency in blacks. […] The disorder is of importance to the clinician not only because of its frequent occurrence, but also because of its myriad manifestations. […] Clinically, ADPKD is characterized by the development of renal cysts and extrarenal manifestations including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal abnormalities.

    Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common form of polycystic renal disease. Polycystic kidney disease is a common genetic disorder, affecting approximately 500 000 individuals in the US. The most common form is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which is characterized by progressive loss of kidney function, and often, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) later in life. ADPKD affects 1 in every 400 to 1000 people worldwide, by various estimates. The ADPKD mutation database now includes 1500 mutations of PKD1, followed by 250 mutations of PKD2. Ultrasound is the preferred initial approach to ADPKD diagnosis because it is non-invasive, low cost, and widely available. One of the main extrarenal manifestations of ADPKD is liver cysts, which can be found in 90% of patients aged 35 years. Patients with PKD1 mutations that are predicted to truncate the protein have the least favorable renal prognosis with a median age of 55.6 years at ESKD vs 67.9 years for patients with non-truncating mutations. Progression to kidney failure is not inevitable, especially in certain patients (eg, those with more favorable PKD2 genotype or with atypical polycystic kidney disease). […] In clinical practice, approved therapies should be used according to clinical trial enrollment criteria or restricted to those at risk of rapid renal progression.

    Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) tends to be diagnosed in adults over 30 years of age because symptoms do not usually start before then. […] Screening people known to be at risk of developing ADPKD because they have a family history of the condition is a controversial issue in the medical community. […] Some argue that screening achieves little because there’s currently no treatment to stop ADPKD developing. […] Others argue that although you cannot prevent ADPKD, screening can help identify cysts, and it’s possible to treat the high blood pressure (hypertension) associated with ADPKD, which may reduce the person’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease. […] If the diagnosis is known, complications will not come as a surprise and can be treated promptly and appropriately.

    Autosomal dominant kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic disorder leading to renal failure with limited therapeutic options. […] Metformin appears to be safe and well tolerated in nondiabetic patients with ADPKD. […] The trial of administration of metformin to tame ADPKD (TAME PKD) was a multicenter phase 2 randomized double-blind trial that showed that metformin is safe, effective, and tolerable with slight reduction in eGFR decline at 2 years which was not statistically significant. […] Our study provides early data on the safety and tolerability of metformin amongst patients with ADPKD with few risk factors of rapid progression, for which few therapeutic options have been tested. […] Metformin appears to be safe and tolerable in nondiabetic Asian ADPKD population. The htTKV increase and eGFR decline were less in the metformin arm; however, it was not significantly different between the metformin and control groups. If proved effective in prolonged follow-up studies, metformin can be a useful cost-effective addition to the armamentarium of therapies for this condition.
