Abstract

Can Additional Water a Day Keep the Cysts Away, in Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease? If a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease could drink enough water to suppress arginine vasopressin release, would cyst growth be attenuated, thereby reducing the decline in kidney function over time? Louise M. Moist, M.D. discusses this randomized controlled trial.
