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.

Hi, I’m Theresa and I am the volunteer Chicago Walk Ambassador…again! I have been involved with the ChicagoWalk – be it as a walker, volunteer or the coordinator- for just about 20 years, having attended my first Walk for PKD in 2005. Team Sal’s Pals came to be a few years later and in 2014, I began organizing the Chicago Walk. I am excited to be back volunteering with the foundation after a couple of years off and ready to work with my Chicago and PKD Community to #EndPKD!
