Polycystic Kidney Disease
I know there is not much in the way of good treatments for this specific disease. I also cannot seem to find any good data on the effectiveness of current diets/treatments. Please let me know if you have any anecdotes/stories.
So far the treatments seem to be:
- Blood Pressure Control to 110/70 (No data on how much this reduces cystogenisis)
- Tolvaptan (Caps out at ~25% eGFR reduction prevention per year and only mild cystogenisis reduction in the first year, then grows the same as it did)
- Keto diet (very little data on this too, one study says no statistically significant difference)
Other than that it appears to be a very slow but unstoppable time bomb.
