Polycystic Kidney Disease affects 600,000 people in the U.S. alone, and 12.5 million world wide. There are more people with PKD than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, Downs syndrome and sickle cell anemia combined. There are a lot of us out there! My father died of PKD in 1981 when very little information was available about this disease, even to the doctors. The nephrologist ( kidney doctor) thought he got it from his grandfather who had had medical problems and it had skipped a generation that I've since found out isn't possible. He was also never told that limiting his protein would help reduce the symptoms of uremia ( blood poisoning from kidney failure) which I think would have made his life much more comfortable. This is a big part of why I've put up this web page. I want people with PKD to be able to look up research about this disease, talk to each other, ask each other questions and be there to encourage one another. If you have PKD, please contact the

For More Information Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The cysts are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, located in the upper part of a person's abdomen, toward the back. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in the body. PKD can cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as the heart and blood vessels in the brain. These complications help doctors distinguish PKD from the usually harmless "simple" cysts that often form in the kidneys in later years of life. In the United States, about 500,000 people have PKD, and it is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. Medical professionals describe two major inherited forms of PKD and a noninherited form: Autosomal dominant PKD is the most common inherited form. Symptoms usually develop between the ages of 30 and 40, but they can begin earlier, even in childhood. About 90 percent of all PKD cases are autosomal dominant PKD.

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited disease that affects the kidneys. Sacs of fluid (called cysts) grow in the kidneys. If too many cysts grow or if they get too big, the kidneys become damaged. The cysts may also cause pain or may get infected. PKD is the most common inherited disease in the United States. Children of parents with PKD have a 50% chance of getting the disease. Return to top How will PKD affect me? Most people with PKD can lead a normal life. In many people, the disease is mild and causes only minor problems. PKD is more severe in some patients and can cause kidney failure. About 60% of patients develop high blood pressure, which can be treated with blood pressure medicine. About 50% of patients with PKD have kidney failure by age 60. Dialysis (blood filtering) and kidney transplants are both effective treatments for kidney failure. PKD is generally worse in men, blacks and patients with sickle cell disease. There is also a childhood form of PKD which is usually more severe than the type that occurs in adults. Return to top What other organs can be hurt by PKD?

Cysts generally develop in weak segments of the tubules that carry urine from the glomeruli. The cyst's growth displaces healthy kidney tissue. The kidneys expand to accommodate the cyst, which can weigh as much as 20 pounds. Three factors determine cyst classification: its cause (acquired, inherited), its features (complicated, simple, multiple, single), and its location (outer [cortical] or inner [medullary] kidney tissue).

I disagree with it besides also living in the U.S. where it's illegal so I will take it down. If you want to donate a kidney, I think that's wonderful but please don't post it here. There's been too many suspicious posts where the person seems to be wanting to sell their kidney under the guise of donating so it seems better not to allow any. Instead, try contacting John Hopkins "Altruistic Donor Program" and if it's not convenient to your area, they could probably could refer you to a closer program. http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Transplant/Programs/InKTP/altruistic.html
