There’s a new way ADPKD Registry participants can step up to provide hope today, and for future generations. The nation’s first dedicated ADPKD Registry is now also one of the first patient registries of any kind to integrate patient-provided health records. 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.

My husband and I were involved with the PKD Walk when we moved to Portland 16 years ago. We took a break to have a baby, get a transplant, brain surgery for our 5 year old who had a brain cyst, do foster care, adopt our second child, have radiation for a benign brain tumor (myself), and survive 8 more surgeries for complications related to PKD(my husband). After all that we’re back, more determined than ever!
I’m very excited to be part of such an amazing group of people who are committed to finding a cure for this terrible disease! As my husband always says, “there’s always someone much worse than myself”, with that attitude you can accomplish anything!
