Polycystic kidney disease

Predicting renal survival in ADPKD

Subjects

A new prognostic model has been developed to predict renal outcomes in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The PROPKD algorithm uses a scoring system based on genetic and clinical data to assign risk categories corresponding to the predicted age of onset of end-stage renal disease. The researchers believe this model will enable a personal approach to clinical decision making in patients with ADPKD.
