Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) affects over 600,000 people in the United States, making it the most prevalent genetically inherited kidney disease. Currently, there is no cure for PKD. Over the past decade, groundbreaking research has given us insight into the genetics of PKD, its progression pathways, and opened up new therapeutic opportunities to positively impact progression. This webinar will provide an overview of what Polycystic Kidney Disease is, its progression patterns and review pathways that are impacted by nutrition. We will discuss how PKD, and kidney cyst, are metabolically different and demonstrate why a ketogenic diet in a nutritional opportunity for treatment. Plus, learn how to set up a kidney-friendly ketogenic diet, macro and micronutrient goal setting, important biomarkers to track, and what a kidney-friendly ketogenic looks like on patient's plates.
