Polycystic kidney disease. HALTing PKD progression--revival of blood pressure control

Thomas Benzing. Nat Rev Nephrol. 2015 Mar.

Abstract

New research suggests that rigorous blood pressure control is beneficial in early autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Although a positive effect on the rate of decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate remains to be demonstrated, this study is likely to change current treatment strategies for young patients with ADPKD.
