Summary
This study looked at 1802 people in Japan with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who were taking the drug tolvaptan. Researchers wanted to see how safe and effective the drug is in real-world settings, not just in controlled trials. They measured kidney growth using imaging like ultrasound or MRI before and during treatment. The goal was to understand if tolvaptan helps slow the enlargement of kidneys in everyday clinical practice.
