The disease is primarily caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, which encode polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, respectively, leading to abnormalities in tubular epithelial cell function, including uncontrolled proliferation, abnormal fluid secretion, and a vicious cycle of cyst expansion under the influence of growth-promoting hormones.

Historically, treatment for ADPKD focused predominantly on supportive care, including rigorous blood pressure control (often with ACE inhibitors or ARBs) and managing complications such as pain, cyst infection, and hematuria.
