Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disorder, but kidneys are not the only organs involved in this systemic disorder. Individuals with the condition may display additional manifestations beyond the renal system, involving the liver, pancreas, and brain in the context of cystic manifestations, while involving the vascular system, gastrointestinal tract, bones, and cardiac valves in the context of non-cystic manifestations. Despite kidney involvement remaining the main feature of the disease, thanks to longer survival, early diagnosis, and better management of kidney-related problems, a new wave of complications must be faced by clinicians who treated patients with ADPKD. Involvement of the liver represents the most prevalent extrarenal manifestation and has growing importance in the symptom burden and quality of life. Vascular abnormalities are a key factor for patients' life expectancy and there is still debate whether to screen or not to screen all patients. Arterial hypertension is often the earliest onset symptom among ADPKD patients, leading to frequent cardiovascular complications. Although cardiac valvular abnormalities are a frequent complication, they rarely lead to relevant problems in the clinical history of polycystic patients. One of the newest relevant aspects concerns bone disorders that can exert a considerable influence on the clinical course of these patients. This review aims to provide the "state of the art" among the extrarenal manifestation of ADPKD.

Abstract
Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease benefit from specialized care over their lifetimes, starting with diagnosis of the condition with ongoing discussion of both the renal course and extra-renal issues. Both renal and extra-renal issues may continue to cause major morbidity even after successful kidney transplant or initiation of RRT, and extra-renal disease aspects should always be considered as part of routine management. In this review, we will focus on updates in pain/depression screening, cardiac manifestations, liver and pancreatic cysts, kidney stone management, and genetic counseling. In some instances, we have shared our current clinical practice rather than an evidence-based guideline. We anticipate more standardization of care after the release of the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines for management in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease later this year.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder characterized by the development of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. The primary cause of ADPKD is mutations in the PKD1 (polycystic kidney disease 1) or PKD2 (polycystic kidney disease 2) gene. Patients with ADPKD often develop a variety of vascular abnormalities, which have a major impact on the structure and function of the blood vessels and can lead to complications such as hypertension, intracranial aneurysm (ICAN), and atherosclerosis. The progression of ADPKD involves intricate molecular and cellular processes that lead to the development of these vascular abnormalities. Our understanding of these processes remains incomplete, and available treatment options are limited. The aim of this review is to delve into the underlying mechanisms of these vascular abnormalities and to explore potential interventions.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the fourth leading cause of kidney replacement therapy. Unfortunately, the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation is a foreseeable outcome for many patients affected by ADPKD. We review some of the unique issues that should be considered in the management of patients with ADPKD who require dialysis or kidney transplantation. The choice of dialysis modality may be influenced by the enlarged kidneys and liver, but peritoneal dialysis should not be excluded as an option, as studies do not consistently show that there is an increased risk for technique failure or peritonitis. The optimal kidney replacement therapy option remains kidney transplantation; however, nephrectomy may be needed if there is insufficient space for the allograft. Living donor candidates from at-risk families need to be excluded from carrying the disease either by diagnostic imaging criteria or genetic testing. Other potential transplant issues, such as malignancy and cardiovascular and metabolic risks, should also be recognized. Despite these issues, patients with ADPKD requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation generally have more favorable outcomes as compared to those with other causes of chronic kidney disease. Further studies are still needed to personalize the therapeutic approach for those receiving kidney replacement therapy and eventually improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most commonly inherited disease of the kidneys affecting an estimated 12,000,000 people in the world. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is a systemic disease, with a wide range of associated features that includes hypertension, valvular heart diseases, cerebral aneurysms, aortic aneurysms, liver cysts, abdominal hernias, diverticulosis, gross hematuria, urinary tract infections, nephrolithiasis, pancreatic cysts, and seminal vesicle cysts. The cardiovascular anomalies are somewhat different than in the general population and also chronic kidney disease population, with higher morbidity and mortality rates. This review will focus on cardiovascular diseases associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and their management.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has cystic fluid accumulations in the kidneys, liver, pancreas, arachnoid spaces as well as non-cystic fluid accumulations including pericardial effusions, dural ectasia and free fluid in the male pelvis. Here, we investigate the possible association of ADPKD with pleural effusion. ADPKD subjects (n = 268) and age-gender matched controls without ADPKD (n = 268) undergoing body magnetic resonance imaging from mid-thorax down into the pelvis were independently evaluated for pleural effusion by 3 blinded expert observers. Subjects with conditions associated with pleural effusion were excluded from both populations. Clinical and laboratory data as well as kidney, liver and spleen volume, pleural fluid volume, free pelvic fluid and polycystic kidney disease genotype were evaluated. Pleural effusions were observed in 56 of 268 (21%) ADPKD subjects compared with 21 of 268 (8%) in controls (p < 0.0001). In a subpopulation controlling for renal function by matching estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), 28 of 110 (25%) ADPKD subjects had pleural effusions compared to 5 of 110 (5%) controls (p < 0.001). Pleural effusions in ADPKD subjects were more prevalent in females (37/141; 26%) than males (19/127,15%; p = 0.02) and in males were weakly correlated with the presence of free pelvic fluid (r = 0.24, p = 0.02). ADPKD subjects with pleural effusions were younger (48 ± 14 years old vs. 43 ± 14 years old) and weighed less (77 vs. 70 kg; p ≤ 0.02) than those without pleural effusions. For ADPKD subjects with pleural effusions, the mean volume of fluid layering dependently in the posterior−inferior thorax was 19 mL and was not considered to be clinically significant. Pleural effusion is associated with ADPKD, but its role in the pathogenesis of ADPKD requires further evaluation.
