Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on predicting renal outcomes in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) using a prognostic model based on genetic and clinical factors.
- Four key variables were identified that influence the age at which patients may reach end-stage renal disease (ESRD), leading to a scoring system that categorizes patients into low, intermediate, or high risk for ESRD progression.
- The new scoring system can help tailor treatment plans by accurately forecasting ESRD onset, with high predictive values for early and delayed progression based on individual patient scores.
Autoimmune phenomena, most frequently autoimmune hemolytic anemia, is a well-known complication of lymphoproliferative diseases. We report a very rare association of a chronic lymphocytic leukemia with an acquired factor XI inhibitor. A 87-year-old man presented with auto-immune hemolytic anemia.

We have previously documented a significant association between AE-ACEi and low plasma aminopeptidase P (APP) activity. With eight large pedigrees, we hereby demonstrate that this quantitative trait is partially regulated by genetic factors.

Five patients benefited from the setting up of a tunneled femoral catheter, for a median period of three months (three months minimum, eleven months maximum). No early complication has been observed.
