Everyone with PKD Treatment gets their GFR

The kidneys are vital organs that filter out harmful impurities from the body. Unfortunately, they can make life miserable when they begin to ache.
This is an inherited disease, which may lead to kidney failure. Cysts, which are like small bubbles, form in the kdneys. A few cysts in each kidney are normal, and there are some other kidney conditions which lead to kidney cysts, more details here. PCKD disease may be very different in children (click herev for details of PCKD in children), and may vary in severity in adults.
PKD Treatment is caused by a genetic mutation that is known as the PKD mutation. A genetic mutation occurs when the normal instructions in certain genes become 'scrambled'.

The PKD Treatment mutation is an autosomal recessive mutation. This means that a person can carry the mutation without developing any symptoms. However, if two people who are both carriers have a baby, there is a 1 in 4 chance that the baby will develop PKD.

Everyone with PKD Treatment gets their GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate, estimated or otherwise calculated) tested every so often, depending on the condition of the kidneys. Or at least, you should be. :) As I was curious, today I was researching just how they estimate your GFR and discovered that there’s some controversy from some doctors as to use and accuracy of some methods, and there are some caveats about its use.
