Abstract
Tolvaptan, a non-peptide arginine vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist, is a newly developed drug to reduce kidney volume and preserve kidney function in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients. We aimed to evaluate the descriptive characteristics of patients according to the use of tolvaptan. Also, we tried to find the efficacy of tolvaptan on kidney volume and kidney function. We included patients with ADPKD who visited a tertiary hospital in South Korea during Sep. 2018 and Apr. 2022. The data was acquired from the Electric Medical Records system. A total of 64 patients were included in the study, and there were 33 (51.6%) patients taking tolvaptan during follow-up periods. During 17.8 ± 13.1 months of follow-up periods, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) changes were 89.4% compared to the baseline eGFR. Although the latest eGFR was lower in patients with tolvaptan (55.9 ± 24.7 mL/min/1.73 m2) than without tolvaptan (68.4 ± 35.1 mL/min/1.73 m2), there was no statistical significance (p = 0.108). We found that the mean change of height-adjusted total kidney volume (HtTKV) was -2.7% based on the baseline HtTKV in patients taking tolvaptan for more than 1-year. Although there was no statistical significance, the mean change of HtTKV was the highest in patients with 1E of Mayo classification (-4.3%). To anticipate the solid data on the efficacy of tolvaptan in the Asian population, more aggressive efforts are needed to search for suitable patients accompanied by appropriate monitoring over a more extended period.
