The Risk of Adverse Events in Patients With Polycystic Kidney Disease With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) leads to progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a subsequent risk of adverse events such as cardiac disease, infections, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and mortality.

Objectives

To determine the risks of CKD-related adverse outcomes in patients with PKD compared with patients without PKD.

Setting

Canadian study of prediction of death, dialysis and interim cardiovascular events (CanPREDDICT) was a prospective pan-Canadian cohort study from 2008-2013 involving 28 facilities with adjudicated outcomes.

Patients

Adult CKD patients (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] = 15-45 mL/min/1.73 m²) under the care of a nephrologist.

Measurements

Polycystic kidney disease as identified by the treati
