ADPedKD is an international, longitudinal registry including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients followed up from childhood.

It aims to provide an observational evidence base for unified diagnostic, follow-up and treatment approaches regarding modifiable disease factors such as hypertension in order to slow down disease progression.

ARegPKD is an international, longitudinal registry of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) patients followed up from childhood.

It addresses the major open scientific and clinical issues and aims to contribute to the fight against this life-threatening disorder of early childhood.

The APDKD Registry is the the first North American database of patients with ADPKD, set up by the PKD Foundation. It is a collection of individuals with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

By joining the ADPKD Patient Registry, you will enable the PKD Foundation to understand more about the ADPKD patient journey, unmet medical needs, patient preferences and reveal more about the disease burden on patients' lives and their families. The Registry will also help identify patients suitable for research studies and trial.
