Background

ADPKD severity varies due to allelic and genic heterogeneity. Identifying patients at risk of rapid disease progression may improve outcomes. This study aims to explore the association between PKD1 types (truncating vs. non-truncating) mutations & rate of eGFR decline in ADPKD patients.

Methods

This study followed up 42 PKD1-ADPKD patients with clinically & genetically confirmed diagnoses for an average of 6.6±3.8 years. Renal function tests were performed annually, and eGFR was calculated using the CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation (2021).

Results

Patients with PKD1 truncating mutations had a more rapid rate of eGFR decline per year (-4.7 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year) compared to patients with PKD1 non-truncating mutations (-3.5 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year) (P<0.001).

Conclusion

This study highlights the association between PKD1 truncating mutations & a more rapid rate of eGFR decline in ADPKD patients. Identifying patients with potential rapid disease progression may aid in early intervention & better disease management to improve outcomes.
