Abstract :
[en] The clinical management of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in adults has shifted from managing complications to delaying disease progression through newly emerging therapies. Regarding pediatric management of the disease, there are still specific hurdles related to the management of children and adolescents with ADPKD and, unlike adults, there are no specific therapies for pediatric ADPKD or stratification models to identify children and young adults at risk of rapid decline in kidney function. Therefore, early identification and management of factors that may modify disease progression, such as hypertension and obesity, are of most importance for young children with ADPKD. Many of these risk factors could promote disease progression in both ADPKD and chronic kidney disease. Hence, nephroprotective measures applied early in life can represent a window of opportunity to prevent the decline of the glomerular filtration rate especially in young patients with ADPKD. In this review, we highlight current challenges in the management of patients with pediatric ADPKD, the importance of early modifying factors in disease progression as well as the gaps and future perspectives in the pediatric ADPKD research field.
