Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the development and enlargement of multiple kidney cysts, leading to progressive kidney function decline. To date, Tolvaptan, the only approved treatment for this condition, is able to slow down the loss of annual kidney function without stopping the progression of the disease. Furthermore, this therapy is approved only for patients with rapid disease progression and its compliance is problematic because of the drug's impact on quality of life. The recent literature suggests that cystic cells are subject to several metabolic dysregulations, particularly in the glucose pathway, and mitochondrial abnormalities, leading to decreased oxidative phosphorylation and impaired fatty acid oxidation. This finding paved the way for new lines of research targeting potential therapeutic interventions for ADPKD. In particular, this review highlights the latest studies on the use of ketosis, through ketogenic dietary interventions (daily calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, time-restricted feeding, ketogenic diets, and exogenous ketosis), as a potential strategy for patients with ADPKD, and the possible involvement of microbiota in the ketogenic interventions' effect.
常染色体显性多囊肾病(ADPKD)是一种遗传疾病,其特征是多个肾脏囊肿的形成和增大,导致肾功能进行性下降。迄今为止,托伐普坦是该疾病唯一获批的治疗药物,它能够减缓每年肾功能的丧失,但无法阻止疾病的进展。此外,该疗法仅批准用于疾病快速进展的患者,但其依从性存在问题,因为该药物会影响生活质量。最近的文献表明,囊性细胞存在多种代谢紊乱,特别是葡萄糖途径和线粒体异常,导致氧化磷酸化减少和脂肪酸氧化受损。这一发现为针对 ADPKD 的潜在治疗干预措施的新研究开辟了道路。特别是,本综述强调了最新研究使用酮症,通过生酮饮食干预(每日热量限制、间歇性禁食、限时进食、生酮饮食和外源性酮症)作为 ADPKD 患者的潜在策略,以及微生物组在生酮干预效果中的可能参与。
