Patients with nail-patella4
  • Although rarely palpable, they are radiographically visible in most patients with nail-patella syndrome. (medscape.com)
  • However, further investigation of a larger population of patients with nail-patella syndrome (ideally sporadic) is needed to determine if this genotype-phenotype correlation is valid outside large pedigrees of nail-patella syndrome, which may be simultaneously segregating nephropathy-related genes. (medscape.com)
  • If orthopedic surgery is planned, MRI prior to surgery is recommended because joint structures (ie, ligament, tendon and muscle insertions, vessel locations) are typically distorted in patients with nail-patella syndrome. (medscape.com)
  • Glaucoma should also be treated as in the general population, but with increased surveillance in all patients with nail-patella syndrome (eg, annual ophthalmologic examination with glaucoma screening). (medscape.com)
Renal5
  • Renal involvement is the major determinant of the prognosis for nail-patella syndrome (NPS). (medscape.com)
  • Periodic and prolonged follow up is recommended in all nail-patella syndrome (NPS) patients, with annual monitoring for hypertension and renal disease and screening for ocular hypertension and glaucoma. (medscape.com)
  • Hypertension and renal disease are treated as in the general population, with recognition that ACE inhibitors have been shown to slow progression of proteinuria in nail-patella syndrome. (medscape.com)
  • Many cutaneous disorders experienced by patients undergoing dialysis have little to do with the uremic syndrome and are related to the same underlying pathologic process that caused the renal disease. (medscape.com)
