What is the Role of ACE in Polycystic Kidney Disease?
In polycystic kidney disease (PKD), the role of ACE and its inhibitors is an area of active research. While not as clearly beneficial as in diabetic nephropathy, ACE inhibitors may help manage hypertension, a common complication of PKD, and could potentially slow the growth of kidney cysts, although more research is needed to confirm these effects.
