Introduction: A significant proportion of mothers take medication during the breastfeeding period, however knowledge of infant safety during continued breastfeeding is often limited. Breastmilk exhibits significant physiological heterogeneity, with a range of milk fat (creamatocrit), protein and pH values available within the literature. Mathematical models for the prediction of infant exposure are available and these predict that variable milk physiology will significantly affect accumulation of drugs within the breastmilk.

- Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary condition where cysts form in the kidneys, potentially leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease.
- A study involving 106 ADPKD patients explored the impact of plant-based diets on kidney function, revealing that those with advanced CKD had lower scores on healthy plant-based diets (hPDI) and higher on unhealthful diets (uPDI) compared to those with early CKD.
- The results suggested that a healthier plant-based diet is linked to better kidney function, while a less healthy diet increases the risk of advanced CKD.
