57. Weight Loss & PKD: Can It Slow Kidney Growth and Disease Progression?

Does weight loss actually help slow PKD progression? In this episode, we unpack what the research shows about BMI, kidney growth, and who may benefit from intentional weight loss in PKD. We also tap into why BMI is imperfect in PKD. If you’ve ever wondered whether weight loss is an opportunity for your PKD health path, this episode is for you!
