Inherited renal cystic diseases

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A number of inherited renal diseases present with renal cysts and often lead to end-stage renal disease. With recent advances in genetics, increasing number of genes and mutations have been associated with cystic renal diseases. Although genetic testing can provide a definite diagnosis, it is often reserved for equivocal cases or for ongoing investigational research. Therefore, imaging findings are essential in the routine diagnosis, follow-up, and detection of complications in patients with inherited cystic renal diseases. In this article, the most recent classification, genetic analysis, clinical presentations, and imaging findings of inherited cystic renal diseases will be discussed.

Glomerulocystic kidney (GCK) is defined by a dilatation of the Bowman’s space (greater than 2 times the normal size) of more than 5% of all glomeruli. Although GCK has been occasionally documented in dogs, cats, and humans with renal failure, in fish, reports of spontaneous GCK are rare. For the present study, 2 captive adult red piranhas Pygocentrus nattereri from a closed population were submitted for post-mortem examination. Clinical history included lethargy, inappetence, dyspnea, and altered buoyancy. Macroscopically, the fish displayed coelomic distension and ascites. The kidneys were markedly enlarged and dark yellow. Histologically, Bowman’s space was noticeably dilated, occasionally with atrophic glomerular tufts. Degeneration and necrosis of the tubular epithelium, infiltration, and nephrocalcinosis were also present. To the authors’ knowledge, this present study is the first report of spontaneously occurring GCK in red piranhas and freshwater fish in general. Despite being rare, GCK is a condition with the potential to impair the health of fish and mammals, and further studies are needed to shed new light on this condition.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
