PKD Foundation

The PKD Foundation has been dedicated since its founding in 1982 to supporting and improving the lives of patients impacted by polycystic kidney disease. These efforts are accomplished through promoting research to find treatments and a cure, as well as providing education, advocacy, and awareness on a national level. The Foundation provides direct... services to local communities nationwide and is the largest private funder of PKD research. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a chronic, genetic disease, characterized by uncontrolled growth of cysts in the kidneys and other organs that can lead to kidney failure. As of today, there is no known cure and only one known treatment to slow the decline of the disease. The PKD Foundation is the only organization in the United States solely dedicated to finding treatments and a cure for PKD. Our mission: We give hope. We fund research, advocate for patients and build a community for all affected by polycystic kidney disease (PKD).Read More
