Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease. Over half of all PKD patients develop kidney failure by age 60 years, although age of onset of kidney disease varies widely, even among members of the same family. The reason for creating this chart review is to collect information about PKD so that we may understand its complications, including high blood pressure, kidney failure, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. This information may also aid in the development of improved methods for diagnosis of ADPKD and strategies for treatment. About 700 charts will be reviewed. Subjects who do not have the genetic results will be asked to participate for a blood sample.
