Triptolide-Containing Formulation as Treatment for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)

April 16, 2014 updated by: Mei changlin, Shanghai Changzheng Hospital

Randomized Controlled Trial of Triptolide-Containing Formulation for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)

Triptolide was shown in experimental studies to inhibit the cyst formation and growth in ADPKD models, while triptolide-containing formulation was revealed to potentially slow the disease progression in several proteinuric ADPKD patients in our clinical practice. It remains to be shown the effect of triptolide-containing formulation on total kidney volume (TKV) enlargement and renal function protection in ADPKD patients.
