Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease

Definition:

Autosomal-dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) is a broad term that encompasses a group of largely monosystemic disorders characterized by renal tubular and interstitial abnormalities, leading to slow progressive loss of kidney function requiring dialysis and kidney transplantation. The clinical manifestations of typical ADTKD appear to be confined to the kidney, whereas atypical type caused by mutations in HNF1B results in variable extrarenal manifestations.
