ADPKD Patient Handbook - English
The purpose of this handbook is to provide information about ADPKD. It will be useful to those who have the disease, those who are at risk due to an affected parent as well as invested family members and friends. It is not intended for those affected by autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).
ADPKD Patient Handbook - Spanish
El propósito de este manual es proporcionar información sobre la enfermedad renal poliquística autosómica dominante (ERPAD). Será un documento útil para aquellas personas que tienen la enfermedad, para las que tienen riesgo de tenerla debido a un progenitor afectado, así como para los familiares y amigos involucrados. No está dirigido a los pacientes con enfermedad renal poliquística autosómica recesiva (ERPAR). Para los pacientes con esta enfermedad, hay un manual disponible en pkdcure.org. En lo sucesivo, nos referiremos a la ERPAD simplemente como ERP.
