Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) Overview

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disorder, driven primarily by mutations in the PKD1 (~78–85%) or PKD2 (~15%) genes, which encode the mechanosensory proteins polycystin-1 and polycystin-2. While typically inherited, approximately 10% of cases arise from de novo mutations. The disease is characterized by the inexorable development and expansion of multiple fluid-filled cysts scattered throughout the renal parenchyma, leading to massive nephromegaly, early-onset hypertension, and progressive structural damage. Clinical severity is highly variable even within families, though PKD1 mutations uniformly dictate a more aggressive course, often driving patients to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in their late 50s, whereas PKD2 patients typically reach ESRD about two decades later. Modern prognostic management heavily relies on measuring height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) via MRI to identify rapid progressors. For these high-risk patients, the standard disease-modifying therapy is the vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist tolvaptan, which suppresses intracellular cAMP to slow cyst proliferation, thereby preserving renal function and delaying the need for renal replacement therapy.
