Application of Total Kidney Volume and Its Predictive Value in Assessment of Kidney Transplant Waitlist Candidates With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most prevalent causes of kidney transplantation (KTx) worldwide. About 40% of ADPKD patients require peritransplant native kidney nephrectomy (NKN). The decision regarding qualification for NKN usually relies on the surgeon's expertise.

Computation of the Texture Features on T2-Weighted Images as a Novel Method to Assess the Function of the Transplanted Kidney: Primary Research.

Texture in medical images describes the internal structure of human tissues or organs. We hypothesize that textural analysis (TA) could be applied to assess renal function after kidney transplantation (KTx). This preliminary study aims to find a statistical difference between texture features in transplanted kidneys with different placement of region of interest (ROI).

MRI-derived markers for predicting a decline in renal function in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) constitutes the fourth cause of end-stage renal disease in Europe. The course of the disease varies widely among patients with ADPKD. Due to the emergence of new possibilities of pharmacotherapy, it has become crucial to identify the group of patients with the fastest rate and risk of disease progression.
