Genetic and environmental risk factors for intracranial aneurysm and subarachnoid haemorrhage among patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

Preprint C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

People with the inherited kidney disease PKD can get weak spots in brain blood vessels (aneurysms) that may burst. This study looked at which genetic and lifestyle factors raise that risk. It found links, not proof of cause. It is a preprint, not yet reviewed by other scientists.
