Detailed Description
Tolvaptan was approved in Japan for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in March 2014. This is a prospective 5-year study to compare the change in total kidney volume (TKV) before and after tolvaptan therapy, as the primary endpoint, in patients with ADPKD. Study results will be summarized, analyzed, and compiled into a research paper at 3 years (data cut-off, March 31, 2018) and at 5 years (data cut-off, March 31, 2020)

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Water Load Group Water load group: 2.5 ~ 3 L water intake daily for 12 months (50ml/Kg body weight/day). When large amount water intake is not sustainable, patients can reduce the amount of water intake to the levels as much as large he or she can sustain. |
|
Non-Water Loaded Group Non-water load group: The patients are free to access water intake, as they like. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Total kidney volume (TKV) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [One year (12 months) and pre-study period.]
The relationship between urine volume (and urine osmolality) and change of TKV. TKV slopes are compared between pre-study and study period.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimated by plasma creatinine and cystatin C. [One year (12 months)]
The relationship between urine volume (and urine osmolality) and change of GFR.
- Plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP, Copeptin) level. [4-8-12 months]
The relationship between urine volume (osmolality) and plasma AVP.
- Quality of life (QOL) questionnaire. [4-8-12 months]
The relationship between QOL and urine volume.
