Background

ADPKD is characterized by the progressive development of bilateral renal cysts, resulting in enlargement of the kidney volume and ESKD. ERK-NET assessed Tolvaptan indications according to 3 algorithmic criteria: total kidney volume (HtTKV) and Mayo Clinic Imaging Class (MCIC), rate of decline in eGFR, and the Predicting Renal Outcome in Polycystic Kidney Disease (PROPKD) score. These scores are alternatively used to define rapid progressor (RP) patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate and improve the concordance of sensitivity and specificity of MCIC and PROPKD predictive abilities for rapid disease progression.

Methods

Data from 3 centers (Bologna, Dublin, Berlin/Leipzig) were assessed. We defined RP with: eGFR slope ≥3 mL/min/1.73m2/ yearly over 4 years, or MCIC classes 1C-D-E, or PROPKD score (7-9). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize clinical parameters. The concordance between MCIC and PROPKD was assessed using Kappa statistics. In PKD1 missense variants, the REVEL score was obtained and treated as a continuous variable; score greater than 0.65 were considered ‘pathogenic’ and regarded as PKD1-truncating variants for PROPKD score calculation.

Results

We evaluated 298 ADPKD patients, demographic and clinical data are summarized in Tab 1. After 4 yr of follow-up, MCIC (p 0,041), HBP (p 0,031), and urological events (p<0.001) result were statistically significant on multivariate analysis (Tab 1).Assessment of RP using PROPKD and MCIC scores yielded Kappa Cohen of 0,149; 47.9% (n=143) were concordant, 49,32 % (n=148) patients identified as RP for MCIC were non- RP for PROPKD, while 2.3% (n=7) of PROPKD score considered RP using PROPKD score were considered non-RP using MCIC classes. Following the reclassification of PKD1 missense variants by REVEL score, K of Cohen improved to 0.174, and PROPKD becomes predictive of RP also at multivariate (p 0.010).

Conclusion

Concordance between scores results low (K of Cohen 0,149). PROPKD is more selective compared to the Mayo. Nevertheless, PROPKD allows the identification of some RP patients excluded from MCIC. The combined use of scoring may increase the ability to identify progressive patients. REVEL score could improve the agreement.
