Massive PKD data collection aims to unlock secrets of kidney disease
NCT ID NCT00792155
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is building a large database of health information from people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD), the most common inherited kidney disease. Researchers will collect data from 1,000 adults over time to better understand complications like high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. The goal is to use this information to improve future treatments for PKD.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this data repository could help researchers better understand PKD and develop improved treatment strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study that does not test any treatment, so it will not directly benefit participants. Results depend on the quality and completeness of the data collected.

Who is studied
All patients enrolled in this study will have the diagnosis of autosomal dominant kidney disease. The diagnostic criteria for at-risk individuals (i.e., with a first degree family member with ADPKD) includes the presence of at least two(unilateral or bilateral) renal cysts, and two cysts in each kidney are considered sufficient for diagnosis in aged 15 to 29 years and in 30 to 59 years, respectively. In families of unknown genotype, the presence of three or more (unilateral or bilateral) renal cysts is sufficient for establishing the diagnosis in individuals aged 15 to 39 years, two or more cysts in each kidney is sufficient for individuals aged 40-59 years and four or more cysts in each kidney is required in individuals ≥60 years of age.
