pioglitazone and Polycystic Kidney Diseases

pioglitazone has been researched along with Polycystic Kidney Diseases in 2 studies

Pioglitazone: A thiazolidinedione and PPAR GAMMA agonist that is used in the treatment of TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS.
pioglitazone : A member of the class of thiazolidenediones that is 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione substituted by a benzyl group at position 5 which in turn is substituted by a 2-(5-ethylpyridin-2-yl)ethoxy group at position 4 of the phenyl ring. It exhibits hypoglycemic activity.

Polycystic Kidney Diseases: Hereditary diseases that are characterized by the progressive expansion of a large number of tightly packed CYSTS within the KIDNEYS. They include diseases with autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common of the monogenic disorders and is characterized by bilateral renal cysts; cysts in other organs including liver, pancreas, spleen, testis and ovary; vascular abnormalities including intracranial aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage; and cardiac disorders such as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), mitral valve regurgitation, mitral valve prolapse and aortic regurgitation."2.48PPAR-γ agonists in polycystic kidney disease with frequent development of cardiovascular disorders.
