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

Nat Rev Nephrol. 2015 Mar;11(3):129-31. doi: 10.1038/nrneph.2014.241. Epub 2014 Dec 16.

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.
