Unfortunately, the kidneys are often underdeveloped, resulting in a 30% death rate in newborns with ARPKD. PKHD1 is involved ...
The CRISP study, [33] [44] mentioned in the treatment section above, contributed to build a strong rationale supporting the prognostic value of total kidney volume (TKV) in ADPKD; TKV (evaluated by MRI) increases steadily and a higher rate of kidney enlargement correlated with accelerated decline of GFR, while patient height-adjusted TKV (HtTKV ...
The goal of treatment is to manage the disease and its symptoms, and to avoid or delay complications.
