In ADPKD, What Are the Risk Factors for Intracranial Aneurysm?
According to a new study from Tokyo, decline in kidney function and increased kidney volume may be risk factors for intracranial aneurysm in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
In Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease, What are the Risk Factors for Disease Progression?
Korean investigators sought to identify risk factors associated with ADPKD progression. A standard therapy for slowing the advance to end stage renal disease is lacking.
