How Common Is PKD?

from The Warriors Quest show w/ Jared A Brown Hosted by Jared A. Brown with the Warriors Quest Show

How Common Is PKD? In this video, I'll be spotlighting Victoria West. Victoria has a condition called Polycystic kidney disease or PKD. Due to the PKD, she has experienced kidney failure. She is now searching for a living kidney donor. What is polycystic kidney disease? Polycystic kidney disease (also called PKD) causes numerous cysts to grow in the kidneys. These cysts are filled with fluid. If too many cysts grow or if they get too big, the kidneys can become damaged. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. How common is PKD? In the United States about 600,000 people have PKD. It is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. It is found in all races and occurs equally in men and women. It causes about 5% of all kidney failure.
