Doh!

how many people came here because they heared SXEPhil had this?

I was diagnosed with this at an early age and just found out that my children have this also. I am part of a clinical trial and urge others to get involved if they, or someone they know, have this disease.

This video is a bit misleading. Infants who die from PKD have the rare, recessive form of the disease. most of us with PKD have the dominant form, which often does not cause probelm until people are in their 40's or 50's. It is not a death sentence. Eat healthy, avoid excessive salt, caffeine and alcohol. I was on dialysis, had both my kidneys removed and had a kidney transplant and am doing great. PKD is not fun, but there is hope.

My sister has polycystic kidney disease, and even though I envy her because she is naturally waif and thin due to the disease - I know the pain it has caused her. I think I will donate to the foundation when I get a little money.

I have hydronephrosis so I feel for these people who have this disease and I hope we can fight this off.

Who else searched this just because sxephil said he has PKD?

Infants rarely make it past the age of 2? I call bs.

holy shit theres so many people commenting on here saying they found out they had this its so sad. I don't know what i'd do if i found out i had something like this. You people are so brave and strong i hope they find a cure.

God bless those who has this disease. I'm 19 and I was diagnosed with PKD very recently.
