Abstract
BACKGROUND Although simple renal cyst (SRC) is a kind of structural alterations of kidney with age, the relationship between SRC and renal function is still obscure. We investigated the relationship between SRC and renal function in Chinese population. METHODS The medical records of 41,842 individuals who underwent physical examinations at the Health Check-up Center at our institution in 2018 were reviewed. According to whether with SRC, they were divided into no-SRC and SRC groups. SRCs were classified into subgroups based on number (< 2 vs. ≥ 2) and size (< 2 cm vs. ≥ 2 cm). Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between SRC and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). RESULTS Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that the adjusted odds ratio (OR) for eGFR slight decline in subjects with SRC was 1.26(95% confidence interval (95% CI):1.17-1.35, p < 0.001), and the OR for eGFR severe decline was 1.35(95% CI: 1.16-1.56, p < 0.001) compared with no-SRC. The adjusted OR of SRC number ≥ 2 and ≥ 2 cm on the risk of eGFR severe decline was the highest (OR:1.68, 95% CI:1.25-2.23, p < 0.01) of four SRC subgroups. CONCLUSIONS SRC is related to eGFR decline, especially when the person with one more SRCs and the size of SRC is more than 2 cm. SRC could be a warning sign for clinicians to judge the decline of renal function.

Abstract
Simple renal cysts (SRC) are associated with the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). We hypothesized that patients with AAA and SRC have increased arterial stiffness (AS) compared with patients without SRC. Patients (n=223) with an infrarenal AAA undergoing pulse wave analysis were recruited. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured (automated oscillometric method) as an index of AS. Participants were categorized into those with increased AS and those with normal/borderline AS (threshold: 1800 cm/s); 134 patients (60.1%) had increased AS and 89 (39.9%) patients had normal/borderline AS. Multivariable analyses showed that age ≥75 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.51-5.72; P=.002), systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg (OR, 5.05; 95% CI, 2.35-10.83; P<.001), hypertension (OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.08-4.79; P=.030), and presence of SRC (OR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.03-3.46; P=.040) were independent risk factors for increased AS. The presence of SRC is an independent risk factor for increased AS in patients with an AAA. This association suggests that patients with SRC may have severe aortic wall degeneration and thus the presence of SRC may be pathologically linked to the development of AAA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND-OBJECTIVE Prior studies have suggested a higher prevalence of simple renal cysts (SRC) among patients with aortic disease, including abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Thus, the aim of this study was to systematically review all currently available literature and investigate whether patients with AAA are more likely to have SRC. METHODS This study was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A meta-analysis was conducted with the use of random effects modeling and the I-square was used to assess heterogeneity. Odds ratios (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were synthesized to compare the prevalence of several patients' characteristics between AAA vs. no-AAA cases. RESULTS Eleven retrospective studies, 9 comparative (AAA vs. no-AAA groups) and 3 single-arm (AAA group), were included in this meta-analysis, enrolling patients (AAA: N = 2,297 vs. no-AAA: N = 35,873) who underwent computed tomography angiography as part of screening or preoperative evaluation for reasons other than AAA. The cumulative incidence of SRC among patients with AAA and no-AAA was 55% (95% CI: 49%-61%) and 32% (95% CI: 22%-42%) respectively, with a statistically higher odds of SRC among patients with AAA (OR: 3.02; 95% CI: 2.01-4.56; P< 0.001). The difference in SRC prevalence remained statistically significant in a sensitivity analysis, after excluding the study with the largest sample size (OR: 2.71; 95% CI: 1.91-3.84; P< 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis demonstrated a 3-fold increased prevalence of SRC in patients with AAA compared to no-AAA cases, indicating that the pathogenic processes underlying SRC and AAA could share a common pathophysiologic mechanism. Thus, patients with SRC could be considered at high risk for AAA formation, potentially warranting an earlier AAA screening.

Abstract
Background Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) primarily affect men over 65 years old who often have many other diseases, with similar risk factors and pathobiological mechanisms to AAA. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of simple renal cysts (SRC), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and other kidney diseases (e.g. nephrolithiasis) among patients presenting with AAA. Methods Two groups of patients (97 AAA and 100 controls), with and without AAA, from the Surgical Clinic Charité, Berlin, Germany, were selected for the study. The control group consisted of patients who were evaluated for a kidney donation (n = 14) and patients who were evaluated for an early detection of a melanoma recurrence (n = 86). The AAA and control groups were matched for age and sex. Medical records were analyzed and computed tomography scans were reviewed for the presence of SRC and nephrolithiasis. Results SRC (74% vs. 57%; p<0.016) and CKD (30% vs. 8%; p<0.001) were both more common among AAA than control group patients. On multivariate analysis, CKD, but not SRC, showed a strong association with AAA. Conclusions Knowledge about pathobiological mechanisms and association between CKD and AAA could provide better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for these patients.

Abstract
In patients with a solitary kidney; residual renal volume is an important prognostic factor for kidney survival. At present, the impact of renal cysts on solitary kidney survival is not clear. The aim of this study is to examine the association of cysts on progression of renal failure in patients with a solitary kidney. METHODS This study included sixtyfive solitary kidney patients. The remaining kidneys after indication nephrectomy (IN) were evaluated with urinary system ultrasound. The primary outcome of the study is the progression of kidney failure during follow-up which was defined as: 25% decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and / or the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 55 ± 14 years and mean follow-up was 53 ± 27 months. Renal cysts were present in 30.7% of patients. 33.8 percent of patients had kidney disease progression and 10.7 % required RRT. Those with progressive disease were older (61 ± 13, 52 ± 14; P = 0.011), had lower baseline GFR (30 ± 11, 39 ± 18; P = 0.035), higher proteiuria (2.84 ± 0.58, 2.47 ± 0.57; P = 0.031) and frequently harboring cysts in the solitary kidney (52.3%, 20.4%; P = 0.006). Progression to kidney failure and RRT requirement in cases with or without renal cysts was (60% vs. 22%; P = 0.004) and (20% vs. 6.6%; P = 0.123), respectively. Acquired cysts in solitary kidney was independently associated with progression to kidney failure and RRT respectively (Exp(B) 3.173; P = 0.01 and Exp(B) 12.35; P = 0.04). CONCLUSION Simple renal cysts in solitary kidney patients with impaired renal function is associated with poor renal outcome. Large-scale studies are needed to clarify this issue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diverticular disease (DD) and hepatic and renal cysts have been linked with defects in collagen and dysfunctional matrix metalloproteinases. METHODS Consecutive abdominal computed tomography scans between January-July 2015 were prospectively studied to determine a correlation between visceral cysts and DD. Patients with a sigmoid colectomy for pathology other than DD and scans in which DD and/or solid organs were not fully visualized were excluded. A subgroup analysis was performed on youthful DD patients (<55 years of age, n = 32) vs. older controls (>55, n = 213). RESULTS 238 DD patients (50.8% male) and 369 controls (40.5% male, p = .02) were included. Incidence of visceral cystic disease in DD patients vs. controls was 71.4% vs. 22.5% (p < 0.00001). Renal cysts, present in 53.4% of the DD patients and 18.7% of the controls (p < .00001), were more common than hepatic cysts in both groups. Hepatic cyst prevalence was 8.8 vs. 2.4% (p = .0008). In the subgroup analysis, cystic disease was present in 56.2% of youthful DD patients vs. 29.1% of older controls (p = .004). CONCLUSIONS A significant association between cystic disease and DD was demonstrated overall and in subgroup analysis inclusive of youthful DD patients and older controls. These findings suggest a global defect in connective tissue integrity in DD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several case-control and population-based abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening studies have reported inconclusive results of the association of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with AAA presence. To determine whether COPD is associated with AAA presence, we performed a meta-analysis of contemporary clinical studies. METHODS To identify all contemporary case-control and population-based AAA screening studies evaluating the association of COPD with AAA presence, databases including MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched from January 2000 to May 2015 using Web-based search engines (PubMed and OVID). An adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for COPD or AAA presence (using multivariable logistic regression) were abstracted from each individual study. We took an OR for AAA presence to be representative of an OR for COPD presence. RESULTS Of 159 potentially relevant articles screened initially, there were 7 case-control and 4 population-based AAA screening studies that met eligibility requirements and were included. Pooled analysis of all the 11 studies (14 estimates, 155,731 participants), 7 case-control studies (4171 participants), and 4 population-based AAA screening studies (7 estimates, 151,560 participants) respectively demonstrated a statistically significant 1.78-fold (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.38-2.30, P < 0.00001), 3.05-fold (OR 3.05, 95% CI 1.44-6.49, P = 0.004), and 1.24-fold (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.48, P = 0.02) increased prevalence/incidence of COPD in patients with AAA relative to subjects without AAA (i.e., a statistically significant 1.78-, 3.05-, and 1.24-fold increased prevalence/incidence of AAA in patients with COPD relative to subjects without COPD) (P for subgroup differences = 0.02). CONCLUSION The present meta-analysis demonstrated 1.8-fold increased prevalence/incidence of COPD in patients with AAA relative to subjects without AAA (i.e., 1.8-fold increased prevalence/incidence of AAA in patients with COPD relative to subjects without COPD), which suggests that COPD is associated with AAA presence.
