Association of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease and Aortic Disease

Key takeaways

This is a commentary on the connection between polycystic kidney disease, an inherited condition where fluid-filled sacs grow in the kidneys, and disease of the aorta, the body's main artery. People with the kidney condition appear to have more aneurysms and tears in that artery. The piece summarizes the concern for clinicians. It reports no new data.
