Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired kidney concentration capacity is present in half of the patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The kidney concentrating capacity was further impaired within the animal model of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). To date, only one small study has investigated it in children having ARPKD. Therefore, we aimed to study the kidney concentrating ability in a larger cohort of children with ARPKD. METHODS Eighteen children (median age 8.5 years, range 1.3-16.8) were retrospectively investigated. A standardized kidney concentrating capacity test was performed after the application of a nasal drop of desmopressin (urine osmolality > 900 mOsmol/kg). The glomerular filtration rate was estimated using the Schwartz formula (eGFR) and blood pressure (BP) was measured as office BP. RESULTS Kidney concentrating capacity was decreased (urine osmolality < 900 mOsmol/kg) in 100% of children with ARPKD. The median urine osmolality after desmopressin application was 389 (range 235-601) mOsmol/kg. Sixteen patients (89%) were defined as hypertensive based on their actual BP level or their use of antihypertensive drugs. The maximum amounts of urinary concentration correlated significantly with eGFR (r = 0.72, p < 0.0001) and hypertensive scores (r = 0.50, p < 0.05), but not with kidney size. Twelve patients (67%) were defined as having CKD stages 2-4. The median concentrating capacity was significantly lower in children within this group, when compared to children with CKD stage 1 possessing a normal eGFR (544 mOsmol/kg, range 413-600 mOsmol/kg vs. 327 mOsmol/kg, range 235-417 mOsmol/l, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Impaired kidney concentrating capacity is present in most children with ARPKD and is associated with decreased eGFR and hypertension. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Pediatric formulae to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) give a broad range of values. Their consistency in assigning the subjects as hypofiltrating or hyperfiltrating is unknown. In 1993 apparently healthy adolescents (53.4% females) aged 14-17 years, we investigated the concordance of six creatinine-based formulae in the classification of the subjects into ≤ 5th or ≥95th percentile of eGFR, and the between-groups difference in the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors. Mean eGFR varied between 77 and 121 mL/min/1.73 m2. Arbitrary setting of hypofiltration or hyperfiltration to 5% returned 46 males and 53 females. At least one formula classified 89 males and 99 females as hypofiltrating and 105 males and 114 females as hyperfiltrating. All six formulae concordantly classified 15 males and 17 females as hypofiltrating and 9 and 14, respectively, as hyperfiltrating. Pairwise, formulae consistently classified hypofiltration in 42-87% of subjects with hyperfiltration in 28-94%. According to two out of the six formulae, hyperfiltration was associated with an increased prevalence of obesity and obesity-associated comorbidities. Hypofiltrating subjects did not manifest chronic kidney disease-associated comorbidities. Further studies in different populations of healthy adolescents are needed before it is possible to conclude which creatinine-based formula is appropriate for the classification of hypofiltration and hyperfiltration in nonclinical cohorts.
