Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) that include further diagnostic tests like MRI are applied routinely in ADPKD patient management in our institution. The data obtained from these tests will be entered in the registry.
At enrolment, clinical, laboratory data and imaging study findings are collected after obtaining informed consent. The parameters listed below constitute the core data set, additional parameters can be included if considered essential.
Clinical data:
* demographic data (sex, age, height, weight)
* family history
* genotype (if available)
* extrarenal ADPKD manifestations
* co-morbidities
* medication
* physical examination
* blood pressure
* no. of extrarenal and renal complications in the past 12 months (urinary tract infections, pain episodes, macrohematuria, kidney stones, hospital admissions, ...)
Laboratory parameters include primarily (but not exclusively):
* serum sodium
* serum potassium
* serum osmolality
* serum creatinine
* estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
* serum urea
* serum uric acid
* whole blood count
* liver enzymes, bilirubin
* urinary sodium (spot and 24h-urine)
* urinary potassium
* urinary osmolality
* urinary creatinine
* urinary urea
* urinary uric acid
* urinary protein
Imaging study parameters:
* MRI - TKV (Total Kidney Volume)
* ultrasound
* (CT-scan if available)
Registered patients will be provided with diaries for documentation of tolvaptan dose, adverse side effects etc. These diaries are collected on a yearly basis and the data are included in the registry. Additionally the patients will be asked to fill in a questionnaire regarding the current medication, complications of ADPKD etc. once a year as well as a commercially available SF-12 (quality of life assessment) form.
Data capture will be done at yearly intervals starting at 12 months after enrolment. It includes the biochemical parameters and imaging study findings that have been obtained over the precedent 12 months.
The following additional data will be obtained:
* prescribed tolvaptan dose within the precedent 12 months
* maximum dose of tolvaptan given in the precedent 12 months
* weight, blood pressure
* urine output
* adverse effects
* hospital admissions
* occurrence of kidney pain, haematuria, or urinary tract infection
* complications associated with extrarenal manifestations of ADPKD
* data from diaries and questionnaires as mentioned above
According to the observational character of this study, no additional blood samples, examinations or imaging studies are required per protocol.
