Dear, I don't think it will give cure. First understand what is ADPKD. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common, life-threatening single-gene disease. It affects over 500,000 individuals in the United States and 12 million worldwide. This disease is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure in the US. ADPKD does not discriminate based on gender, race, ethnicity or geography. People with a family history of ADPKD and younger people who develop high blood pressure may be diagnosed with ADPKD. In ADPKD, kidneys enlarge with age because they contain many cysts, or fluid-filled sacs. Over years, these cysts grow in size and in number and lead to kidney failure in about half of ADPKD patients. Medical evaluation consists of blood and urine tests, ultrasound or kidney MRI, and sometimes genetic testing.
