Official Title: The Effect of High and Low Sodium Intake on Urinary Aquaporin-2 in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease, During Basal Conditions and After Hypertonic Saline Infusi

Brief Summary:

The aim of the study is to test the following hypotheses:

  1. that the function and/or regulation of AQP2 and /or ENaC in the principal cells is abnormal in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
  2. if an abnormal function of the principal cells is present in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, this woll become more pronounced at high and low sodium intake.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Regional Hospital Holstebro

Current Primary Outcome: u-AQP-2; fractional sodium excretion, p-vasopressin; p-aldosterone. [ Time Frame: Before and after hypertonic saline infusion after 4 days on high and low sodium diet, respectively. ]

Original Primary Outcome: u-AQP-2; fractional sodium excretion, p-vasopressin; p-aldosterone.

Current Secondary Outcome: u-p-AQP-2; u-ENaC (alpha, beta, gamma); CH2O; u-cAMP; uPGE-2, GFR. [ Time Frame: Before and after hypertonic saline infusion after 4 days on high and low sodium diet, respectively. ]

Original Secondary Outcome: u-p-AQP-2; u-ENaC (alpha, beta, gamma); CH2O; u-cAMP; uPGE-2, GFR.
