                    Scientists discover potential treatment approaches for polycystic kidney disease
                    Researchers have shown that dangerous cysts, which form over time in polycystic kidney disease (PKD), can be prevented by a single normal copy of a defective gene. This means the potential exists that scientists could one day tailor a gene therapy to treat the disease. They also discovered that a type of drug, known as a glycoside, can sidestep the effects of the defective gene in PKD. The discoveries could set the stage for new therapeutic approaches to treating PKD, which affects millions worldwide.

                    Researchers at the National Institutes of Health observed rapid and distinct immune system changes in a small study of people who switched to a vegan or a ketogenic (also called keto) diet. Scientists closely monitored various biological responses of people sequentially eating vegan and keto diets for two weeks, in random order.

                    New atlas of human kidney cells to help unlock kidney disease research
                    A study funded by the NIH created the most comprehensive atlas of the human kidney to advance progress in understanding and treating kidney disease. The Kidney Tissue Atlas marks an important milestone for the multicenter study, called the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP), which began in 2017 with the aim of improving treatment for kidney disease.

                    Being hospitalized with acute kidney injury may increase risk for rehospitalization and death
                    A study supported by the National Institutes of Health found that people who experienced acute kidney injury (AKI) during a hospitalization, including those admitted with AKI or who developed AKI in the hospital, were more likely to revisit the hospital or die shortly after discharge, compared to people hospitalized without AKI. AKI is a sudden loss of kidney function that usually lasts for a short time. The research, funded by NIH’s National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), was published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases.

                    A research team supported by the National Institutes of Health has developed a new approach to better understand the biology of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and often-life-threatening genetic disorder that affects millions worldwide. Scientists combined two ways to model the disorder — organ-in-a-dish and organ-on-a-chip technologies — to show the role of glucose, a sugar commonly found in blood, in forming PKD cysts.
