[ADPKD and IPMN: Mere Coincidence or Double Trouble?].

This article constitutes a review of the existing literature on the potential correlation between autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas. Additionally, it presents a clinical case where familiarity for both pathologies was observed, derived from the direct experience of our clinic, reinforcing the hypothesis of a possible common pathogenetic pathway. The review focuses on the potential genetic correlation between these two pathologies within the realm of ciliopathies, emphasizing the importance of targeted screening and monitoring strategies to detect pancreatic complications early in patients with ADPKD.

[The Management of Patients with Adult Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) Requires a Multidisciplinary Approach].

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disease. Its main feature is the progressive enlargement of both kidneys with progressive loss of kidney function. ADPKD is the fourth leading cause of terminal renal failure in the world.

[The Educational Aspect in Promoting a Low-Sodium Diet, Physical Activity and Therapy Adherence among Patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Disease: A Literature Review].

Polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic cause of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and, thus, of kidney transplantation and dialysis. Educational interventions aimed to improve adherence to therapy, physical performance, and adequate food intake in patients can slow down disease progression by developing self-care skills, which are useful to promote their autonomy while aligning their life plans and required treatments. The aim of this review is to analyze the adherence of patients with polycystic kidney to pharmacological therapy, low-sodium diet, and physical activity, as evidenced in the clinical literature to guide structured educational interventions.

Association between Perceived Health-Related Quality of Life and Depression with Frailty in the FRASNET Study.

Frailty is a major challenge facing the aging world. The phenotype of the frail subject is still far from being satisfactorily defined. We report data on mood, cognition, and quality of life (QoL) in relation to anamnestic factors, health, and socio-economic status in the FRASNET geriatric population (1204 subjects in stable health conditions), which is an observational cohort study that includes fairly balanced groups of Italian frail (421, 35%), pre-frail (449, 37.
