ESRD from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in the United States, 2001-2010.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is amenable to early detection and specialty care. Thus, while important to patients with the condition, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) from ADPKD also may be an indicator of the overall state of nephrology care.

Study design

Retrospective cohort study of temporal trends in ESRD from ADPKD and pre-renal replacement therapy (RRT) nephrologist care, 2001-2010 (n = 23,772).

Setting & participants

US patients who initiated maintenance RRT from 2001 through 2010 (n = 1,069,343) from US Renal Data System data.

Predictor

ESRD from ADPKD versus from other causes for baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes; interval 2001-2005 versus 2006-2010 for comparisons of cohort of patients with ESRD from ADPKD
