UpToDate information on treating PKD
UpToDate is the only clinical decision support resource associated with improved outcomes.
More than 80 research studies demonstrate its impact on improved patient care and hospital performance.
We are committed to providing resources for medical professionals to educate and empower their patients with PKD to manage and improve their health. To provide medical professionals with in-depth information about various aspects of PKD, we have teamed up with UpToDate, an evidence based, peer reviewed online information resource.

The Polycystic Kidney Disease Research Resource Consortium (PKD RRC), funded by The National Institutes of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), consists of three national Research and Translation Core Centers (RTCC) and a Central Coordinating Site. Their goal is to support a collaborative, diverse community of investigators who are working to advance discovery in the area of polycystic kidney disease.
