Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) encompasses a group of genetic disorders that are common causes of renal failure. The two classic forms of PKD are autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Despite their clinical differences, ARPKD and ADPKD share many similarities. Altered intracellular Ca2+ and increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations have repetitively been described as central anomalies that may alter signaling pathways leading to cyst formation. The vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R) antagonist tolvaptan lowers cAMP in cystic tissues and slows renal cystic progression and kidney function decline when given over 3 years in adult ADPKD patients. Tolvaptan is currently approved for the treatment of rapidly progressive disease in adult ADPKD patients. On the occasion of the recent initiation of a clinical trial with tolvaptan in pediatric ADPKD patients, we aim to describe the most important aspects in the literature regarding the AVP-cAMP axis and the clinical use of tolvaptan in PKD.
