Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease. In spite of the recent tremendous progress in the understanding of ADPKD pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms of the disease remain incompletely understood. Considering emerging new targeted therapies for ADPKD, it has become crucial to disclose easily measurable and widely available biomarkers for identifying patients with future rapid disease progression.

Background: Tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist, is used for treating autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We focused on changes in urinary osmolality (U-Osm) after tolvaptan initiation to determine whether they were associated with the therapeutic response to tolvaptan.

Methods: This was a single-centre, prospective, observational cohort study.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is very common in hospitalized patients, affecting patient's mortality and morbidity. Major causes are prerenal AKI and acute tubular necrosis (ATN). Even though a variety of parameters/indices exist, their reliability and practicability are controversial: in fact, there is a need for a simple diagnostic approach for AKI in in-patients with parameters easily obtained in any hospital.
