XORTX Announces Publication of Key Research in ADPKD
This study shows, for the first time, that chronically increased SUA can significantly increase cyst index and increase kidney size in ADPKD.
- This study shows, for the first time, that chronically increased SUA can significantly increase cyst index and increase kidney size in ADPKD.
- Dr. Allen Davidoff, CEO of XORTX, stated, “We are pleased to have supported this pioneering research in polycystic kidney disease by Dr. Charles Edelstein of the University of Colorado.
- In human ADPKD, kidney size and declining kidney filtering capacity are correlated and are key indicators of disease progression and prognosis.
- These mechanistic studies are important for the planning of future clinical studies of xanthine oxidase inhibition in patients with ADPKD.”
