Cardiovascular issues are among the biggest problems associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD). However, a heart condition's effect on the kidneys and the rest of the body is often relatively unknown to PKD patients and can be overlooked and underestimated. This webinar will help address some of what causes cardiovascular issues in people with PKD.

Webinar by Robert Weiss, M.D., Professor of Medicine at UC Davis and Chief of Nephrology at Sacramento VAMC.
