New research hopes to shed light on polycystic kidney disease – Kidney Research UK

The problem

It is estimated that there are approximately 70,000 people living with PKD in the UK. In PKD fluid filled sacs known as ‘cysts’ form in the kidneys, which can lead to serious kidney damage. Currently there are no treatments that can halt disease progression. Improving our understanding of PKD is vital to support the development of new ways to manage this problem.
