Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the progressive development of kidney cysts resulting in damage to kidney structure and function. Yu et al. showed that height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) was a significant independent predictor of ADPKD progression after a follow-up of 14.5 years. The genotype was not an independent prognostic factor after adjusting for htTKV. This commentary discusses several considerations in model comparison, biomarker validation, and future challenges in ADPKD research.
常染色体显性多囊肾病(ADPKD)的特征是肾脏囊肿的进行性发展,导致肾脏结构和功能受损。于等人研究表明,经过 14.5 年的随访,身高校正的总肾体积(htTKV)是 ADPKD 进展的一个显著独立预测因子。在调整 htTKV 后,基因型不是一个独立的预后因素。本评论讨论了模型比较、生物标志物验证以及 ADPKD 研究未来挑战中的几个注意事项。
