Presenter: Charles Edelstein, M.D., Ph.D. / Cortney Steele, Ph.D.
COE: University of Colorado
Description: Discover insights into diet, metabolism, and their impact on polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Charles Edelstein, Ph.D., will share research on how increasing uric acid levels—using a specific medication—affects disease progression in PKD animal models. Cortney Steele, Ph.D., will explain how she used advanced computer technology (machine learning) to analyze images from a major PKD clinical trial and explored how body fat around organs (visceral fat) may be linked to changes in total kidney volume (TKV).
