The classification is based on patient's height adjusted Total Kidney Volume (TKV) and Age. The Kidney Volume Calculator (box 1) can be used to estimate patient's TKV using simple measurements from MRI or CT images.

Total kidney volume (TKV) is a strong predictor of future renal insufficiency in ADPKD. 1 Various imaging modalities (MRI, CT, US) and post processing methods (stereology and ellipsoid calculations) are available to determine TKV. 1,2

Estimate risk of progression in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease using kidney dimensions

2022年5月25日 · Total Kidney Volume (TKV) is the primary measure of kidney growth and can provide information on disease status and its progression. MRI or CT scan are the best methods to obtain TKV measurements. Selecting a provider that is educated on ADPKD and who understands your disease management goals is critical.

2016年10月3日 · Here, we review the mechanisms that lead to an increase in TKV in ADPKD, and examine the evidence supporting the conclusion that TKV provides a metric of disease progression that can be used to...

In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), total kidney volume (TKV) is regarded as an important biomarker of disease progression and different methods are available to assess kidney volume. The purpose of this study was to identify ...

2024年10月16日 · Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenetic cause of kidney failure, accounting for 5% of cases. 1, 2 Its estimated prevalence is 2–13.5 per 10,000 people. 3, 4, 5, 6 ADPKD is characterized by the growth of fluid-filled kidney cysts that irreversibly damage kidney parenchyma. Renal complications include ...

Estimate risk of progression in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease using total kidney volume. Questions. 1. Does this patient have typical morphology of ADPKD (diffuse, bilateral cystic involvement)? 2. Total Kidney Volume, both kidneys (TKV) 3. Patient Height. 4. Age at time of imaging. About.

Total Kidney Volume (TKV) is a key biomarker for PKD clinical studies. Learn exactly what it means, how it is calculated and why it is an important tool for the development of new therapies for the treatment of PKD.

2011年9月15日 · Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by increased total kidney volume (TKV) and renal failure. This study aimed to determine if height-adjusted TKV (htTKV) predicts the onset of renal insufficiency.
