The disease, whose symptoms often don't arise until adulthood, usually causes back pain, high blood pressure, urinary tract infections, and, ultimately, kidney failure. Kidney Health Australia chief executive officer Anne Wilson said early diagnosis and treatment could halve the rate of kidney failure, strokes and other problems.
