ADPKD is the most common hereditary kidney disease and a major cause of kidney failure world-wide. Significant kidney enlargement occurs decades preceding loss of kidney function. However, the earliest clinical manifestations of disease have been less well characterized in young adults, a typically...

Sumario: | ADPKD is the most common hereditary kidney disease and a major cause of kidney failure world-wide. Significant kidney enlargement occurs decades preceding loss of kidney function. However, the earliest clinical manifestations of disease have been less well characterized in young adults, a typically healthy population who do not often seek routine medical care. In this study, Martinez and colleagues report a high prevalence of hypertension among young adults (18–30 years) enrolled in the Spanish ADPKD registry REPQRAD. Their findings confirm previous studies in children and young adults with ADPKD and make a strong case for earlier screening and intervention within this age group. |
