Importance Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressive development of cysts and the most common inherited disorder worldwide. ADPKD accounts for 5% to 10% failure in US Europe, its prevalence 9.3 per 10 000 individuals. Observations typically diagnosed individuals aged 27 42 years primarily caused pathogenic variants PKD1 (78%) or PKD2 (15%) genes. Most persons with have an affected parent, but de novo suggested 25% families. More than 90% patients older 35 hepatic cysts, which may cause abdominal discomfort occasionally require medical surgical intervention.

Transplantation is the optimal and desired form of kidney replacement therapy, but all too often, clinicians are left pondering, "What led to failure in first place?" Further questions then naturally arise as whether a patient's relative might be able safely feasibly donate them, moreover what risks associated with this be. These key quandaries faced by nephrologists seeking provide care for their patients leading up transplantation. Recent advancements genomic sequence-based genetic testing have demonstrated effectiveness emerging utility providing some answers, only right setting, close support counselors clinical geneticists.
