    Identification of Patients with Autosomal
    Dominant Polycystic kidney Disease at Highest 

    J Am Soc Nephrol 8: 1560-1567, 1997



    Background – Renal cysts develop in virtually in all
    patients with a gene of autosomal dominant
    polycystic kidney disease. [ADPKD]



    However, factor other than the mulated ADKPD gene
    itself appear to influence progression to renal
    failure.



    Findings – Patients with ADPKD 2 gene had longer
    renal survival than those with the ADPKD 1
    gene. 



    Women had significantly better outcome than men. 



    Patients younger than 30 years when diagnosed and
    those with hypertension at an age of less than 35
    years had worse progress than those diagnosed after
    30 and 35 years respectively.



    Patients younger than 30 years who had an episode of
    gross hematuria also had a worse renal outcome than
    who did not.
