The most common form of PKD is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The most frequent kidney illness passed down via families is ADPKD, which affects one in 400 to 1,000 people. The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), which was carried out by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US, found that the diagnostic prevalence rate for ADPKD was 4.3 per 10,000.

PKD Foundation @PKDFoundation Did you know that #ADPKD is caused by mutations in two genes? Although 85% of cases are hereditary, the remaining 15% are spontaneous, meaning you have no family history of the disease. Go to http://pkdcure.org to learn more about #PKD and then share the facts!
