PKD is an inherited disease that causes cysts to form around your kidneys. The most common form of PKD is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), where it most often diagnosed in adults between the ages of 30 and 40.
Dr. Fouad Chebib, a Mayo Clinic nephrologist and expert on polycystic kidney disease, says patients understand they face possible kidney failure. That’s why researchers continue to innovate.
Now, Mayo Clinic is using artificial intelligence is to help predict a patient’s progression with ADPKD.
