    Extractions: Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Radiology College of Veterinary Medicine Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common genetic disease of human beings, and has recently been recognized in cats. This disease is characterized by progressive development of fluid filled cysts within the kidneys, which distort the normal renal architecture and can lead to renal failure in many affected animals. The Persian breed and other breeds of Persian heritage are frequently affected. The simplest and most accurate method of identifying affected cats has been abdominal ultrasound, where the cysts appear as black round structures with acoustic enhancement within the renal cortex and medula. Studies have shown that ultrasound can correctly identify PKD in cats that are only 7 weeks of age. Provided that the cat is 10 months of age or older, over 95% of those cats that are affected with PKD can be accurately identified with ultrasound. Recently, many cat breeders have used ultrasound PKD screening clinics as a means to identify and potentially eliminate this disease from their bloodlines. To date, over 4400 cats in the United States have been evaluated with 37% of these cats diagnosed positive for the disease. This seminar will review the pertinent facts and literature about PKD with particular emphasis on diagnostic techniques used to evaluate PKD.

    Extractions: June 1998 The PKD Seminar was held in Philadelphia at the CFA Annual on Saturday at 2 pm and lasted, with questions and answers, until 4 pm. The group attending numbered about 75, a very good turnout considering the variety of options available that afternoon. Pamphlets which were reproductions of the CFA Health Committee website article on PKD were available. Joining me on the panel were Debi Faryna (NIH and one of our genetics advisors to Breeds and Standards), Sue Helmke (Marhei Persians), Hilary Helmrich (President of the Winn Foundation/Abydos Abyssinians and Persians), Dr. Leslie Lyons (NIH and presently involved in the Havana Brown project), and Anna Sadler (CFA Legislative Committee/Brannaway Persians).

    http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol3no2/miller.htm
    
    Extractions: Synopses Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is one of the most common genetic diseases in humans. We contend that it may be an emerging infectious disease and/or microbial toxicosis in a vulnerable human subpopulation. Use of a differential activation protocol for the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay showed bacterial endotoxin and fungal (1 3)-ß-D-glucans in cyst fluids from human kidneys with PKD. Fatty acid analysis of cyst fluid confirmed the presence of 3-hydroxy fatty acids characteristic of endotoxin. Tissue and cyst fluid from three PKD patients were examined for fungal components. Serologic tests showed Fusarium Aspergillus, and Candida antigens. IgE, but not IgG, reactive with Fusarium and Candida were also detected in cyst fluid. Fungal DNA was detected in kidney tissue and cyst fluid from these three PKD patients, but not in healthy human kidney tissue. We examine the intertwined nature of the actions of endotoxin and fungal components, sphingolipid biology in PKD, the structure of PKD gene products, infections, and integrity of gut function to establish a mechanistic hypothesis for microbial provocation of human cystic disease. Proof of this hypothesis will require identification of the microbes and microbial components involved and multifaceted studies of PKD cell biology. Examining the hypothesis that polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an emerging infectious disease and/or microbial toxicosis in a vulnerable population of humans must begin with a review of the conceptual tools that relate disease etiology and progression to the identification of microbes, their cellular components, and shed toxins in affected persons (

    Extractions: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts filled with fluid in the kidneys. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. PKD can also cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as the heart and blood vessels in the brain. PKD is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), about one-half of people with autosomal dominant PKD progress to kidney failure, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). What are some of the types of PKD?

    Extractions: This is a disease in which a large number of fluid filled cysts form within the kidneys. These cysts are present from birth in affected cats but they start off very small and then gradually increase in size until eventually they compromise the surrounding normal kidney tissue and cause kidney failure. Polycystic kidney disease is now recognised as a particular problem in Persians because it is an inherited disease, which has become very common within this breed. Many Persian breeders are now aware of this and are aiming to avoid the problem by identifying affected cats. The Feline Advisory Bureau has therefore set up a screening programme, which is available throughout the UK, to identify which cats are affected and to allow breeders to make informed decisions about which cats to use for future breeding. The FAB PKD Screening Scheme involves a panel of approved, highly-qualified veterinary ultrasonographers who will ultrasound scan the cat's kidneys looking for the presence of fluid-filled cysts. They will then issue an FAB-approved certificate stating the result of the scan for that particular cat. This article provides more information about polycystic kidney disease and covers the most common questions breeders ask about this problem.

    Extractions: Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited disease that affects the kidneys. Sacs of fluid (called cysts) grow in the kidneys. If too many cysts grow or if they get too big, the kidneys become damaged. The cysts may also cause pain or may get infected. PKD is the most common inherited disease in the United States. Children of parents with PKD have a 50% chance of getting the disease. Most people with PKD can lead a normal life. In many people, the disease is mild and causes only minor problems. PKD is more severe in some patients and can cause kidney failure. About 60% of patients develop high blood pressure, which can be treated with blood pressure medicine. About 50% of patients with PKD have kidney failure by age 60. Dialysis (blood filtering) and kidney transplants are both effective treatments for kidney failure. PKD is generally worse in men, blacks and patients with sickle cell disease. There is also a childhood form of PKD which is usually more severe than the type that occurs in adults. What other organs can be hurt by PKD?

    http://www.kidney.ca/poly-e.htm
    
    Extractions: PKD is an inherited disease. This means that it is passed from parents to children. Every person has 23 different pairs of chromosomes, one set coming from each parent. The chromosomes are messengers which carry information in the form of genes. If you inherit the gene for PKD then you will either have the disease or you will be a silent carrier (where you don't have the disease but you may pass on the gene). This will depend on the type of PKD gene passed on to you.

    Extractions: What is Polycystic Kidney Disease - PKD? Polycystic Kidney Disease is an inherited kidney disease that has been found in Persian/Exotic cats. Feline Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) has been reported sporadically in the literature since 1967, but actual study into this renal disease did not begin until 1990. In1990 an affected female Persian was referred to the Ohio State University teaching hospital with symptoms of renal failure. Offspring of this female were used to start a colony and begin research into this condition.

    Extractions: is currently in the works! As a proactive patient, I have been accumulating and studying Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) information from many sources for close to a decade. PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) is turning out to be a very complicated but very interesting disease. Unfortunately, most of the information available on PKD is widely scattered and much of it is too difficult for the average patient to understand. Thus, I have begun to construct a comprehensive PKD tutorial that is understandable by patients, family, nurses, and others interested in learning about PKD. This is the home page of the PKD Tutorial. The PKD Tutorial is a FREE web based tutorial on PKD! Flash 5 or 6 plug-in (see below). Though it is not required, the tutorial works best on a computer that has a screen resolution of 800x600 pixels or larger and runs on a Pentium 200MHz or faster processor.

The cysts are filled with fluid and can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. When polycystic kidney disease causes kidneys to fail - which usually happens only after many years - the patient requires dialysis or kidney transplantation. About one-half of people with the major type of polycystic kidney disease progress to kidney failure. Polycystic kidney disease can cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as the heart and blood vessels in the brain. These complications help doctors distinguish it from the usually harmless "simple" cysts that often form in the kidneys in later years of life. In the United States, about 500,000 people suffer from polycystic kidney disease, and it is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. Medical professionals describe two major inherited forms and one non-inherited form:
