Everolimus in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects approximately 1 of every 1000 persons in the general population1 and develops, by means of slowly progressive renal-cyst growth, to end-stage renal disease in over 50% of patients. Hepatic and pancreatic cysts, as well as cerebral and abdo...

| Summary: | Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects approximately 1 of every 1000 persons in the general population1 and develops, by means of slowly progressive renal-cyst growth, to end-stage renal disease in over 50% of patients. Hepatic and pancreatic cysts, as well as cerebral and abdominal aneurysms, contribute to ADPKD-associated morbidity and mortality. Arterial hypertension, recurrent urinary tract infection, nephrolithiasis, and abdominal pain are frequently the presenting symptoms.2 Approximately 85% of patients with ADPKD have mutations in the polycystic kidney disease 1 gene (PKD1), whereas most of the remaining 15% have polycystic kidney disease 2 gene (PKD2) . . . |
