Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease, characterized by the progressive development of multiple kidney cysts, leading to a gradual decline in kidney function. ADPKD is also the fourth leading cause of kidney failure (KF) in adults. In addition to kidney manifestations, ADPKD is associated with various extrarenal features, including liver cysts, cardiovascular abnormalities, intracranial aneurysms, and chronic pain with significant impact on patients' quality of life. While several disease-modifying agents have been tested in ADPKD, tolvaptan remains the only approved drug by the US Food and Drug Administration. The Mayo Imaging Classification is currently the most practical tool for predicting rate of kidney disease progression in ADPKD. This review provides a comprehensive overview of ADPKD, focusing on its genetics, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, management, and prognostic tools. Advances in diagnostic imaging and genetic testing have improved the early detection of ADPKD, allowing better classification of patients and prediction of KF. The review also discusses current therapeutic approaches to ADPKD, including tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist. Additionally, we address specific issues in children and pregnant individuals with ADPKD. Despite substantial progress in understanding ADPKD, there is a large need for additional effective treatments and prognostic markers to provide a more personalized care for these patients.
