Angela
Angela is 45 years old and has been diagnosed with ADPKD by a kidney ultrasound. Angela has one risk factor that is associated with rapid disease progression: urologic events before age 35. Let's take a closer look with some prognostic tools to assess her likely rate of disease progression.1,2
- Age45
- Height5'7"
- Weight150 lbs
- SexF
- Race (AA/O)O
Baseline Assessment3-7
- Serum creatinine (mg/dL)0.92
- eGFR (mL/min/1.73m2)75.2
- Ultrasound kidney length (cm)12.8
- Hypertension before 35?No
- Urological event before 35?Yes
- Family members with ESKD?Yes (70 yrs)
- MutationsNot available
- PROPKD ScoreNot available
- htTKV (mL/m)Not needed
- Other risk factorsNone
- ADPKD Imaging ClassificationAngela does not need an MRI or CT scan since she is likely at low risk for rapid progression, as confirmed by her ultrasound kidney length and having only one risk factor.
Although Angela may not be at risk for ADPKD progression, she needs to be checked for other kidney disease due to history of UTI.
