Description: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is thought to be the commonest disorder inherited autosomally. It is responsible for up to a tenth of all cases of end-stage renal disease and may also cause secondary disorders with a fatal outcome. Understanding of the causes and treatment has advanced rapidly in the last decade, and this book gives a state-of-the-art review of the diseases. It covers a wide range of topics in the natural history, diagnosis, clinicalmanagement, underlying genetic investigations, and family counselling of those with polycystic kidney disease, and will be of interest to clinical and research nephrologists worldwide.
Synopsis: Many inherited diseases and non-hereditary disorders have in common the development of renal cystic disease. The most common, autosonal dominant polycystic kidney disease, is responsible for 5-10% of end-stage renal failure treated by dialysis or transplantation. Since the publication six years ago of the last book on polycystic kidney disease, a number of genes causing the disease have been identified, mapped, or sequenced; new experimental models and the application of molecular biology techniques have provided new insights into the pathogenesis R polycystic kidney disease; novel clinical studies have provided valuable information for the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of the complications of this disease. This book provides an updated, state-of-the-art review of the genetics, pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of these diseases and will be of interest to both basic researchers and clinicians in nephrology.
