A promising new experimental medication for PKD is generating a lot of excitement — and for good reason. In this research review episode, Diana breaks down what Farabursen is, how it works at the genetic level, and why targeting microRNA may help increase polycystin protein production and potentially halt cyst growth.

If you want a science-backed look at where PKD treatment may be headed — this episode is for you!

You’ll learn a simple explanation of DNA, genes, and protein signaling, what early studies are showing so far, what phase 3 trials may look like, and who may qualify to participate.

Is there one best milk for PKD? A great listener question episode on The PKD Dietitian Podcast! In this episode, I break down six of the most popular milks—cow, almond, oat, soy, coconut, and rice—and explain what each one offers (and what it doesn’t) for kidney health. We’re talking protein, potassium, oxalates, additives, and how to choose the right milk for you, not just what’s trending. If you’ve ever stood in the milk aisle feeling confused… this episode is for you.
