Abstract

Among a large racially and ethnically diverse US population, the prevalence of diagnosed ADPKD between 2002 and 2018 was 42.6 per 100,000 persons.ADPKD prevalence (per 100,000) was higher in (non-Hispanic) White (63.2) and Black (73.0) patients compared with Hispanic (39.9) and Asian (48.9) patients.Given the variable penetrance of ADPKD, our findings suggest race may be a factor in the clinical presentation and diagnosis of ADPKD.
