Share your health records through your provider’s online portal with a few simple steps on the ADPKD Registry. 

Now, as always, the PKD Foundation is committed to our mission of giving hope, advocating for patients, and building a community for all impacted by PKD. We'll continue supporting our community by providing important resources and timely updates on social media. If you have questions or need help navigating this unprecedented health crisis, we are here for you. Email or call (844) PKD-HOPE.

Contact your local PKD Connect Ambassador to learn about local activities and connect with others in your community that understand what you are going through.

I started volunteering for the Foundation in 2002. I was overwhelmed by the dedication of my fellow volunteers, and that continues to this day. Helping people cope with PKD, and raising money towards a treatment and cure are very rewarding for me. The people I met through my work with the Foundation inspire me to HELP END PKD!
