DESCRIPTION:

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Awareness Day seeks to teach the public and keep medical professionals informed about this genetic disease. As a person ages, symptoms worsen, and fluid-filled cysts form and enlarge both kidneys, often leading to kidney failure. There are two types of PKD: Autosomal Dominant PKD (ADPKD) in adults and Autosomal Recessive PKD (ARPKD) in children.

This rare disease affects 1 in 20,000 people worldwide and occurs if both parents carry the gene. Most people with it will develop kidney failure before reaching age 60.

Currently, there is no cure, and the disease does not skip generations.
