Ninja Nerds!
In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Cystic Kidney Disease, including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), and simple versus complex renal cysts. We’ll explore the pathophysiology behind cyst formation and kidney enlargement, as well as how these conditions can lead to complications like hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and infection. The session will transition to a digital presentation focused on the diagnostic approach, highlighting imaging studies and genetic testing, as well as the management strategies for Cystic Kidney Disease, including both supportive and targeted therapies.
