Advocacy

We dedicate resources to ensuring Congress and federal agencies are aware of and respond to the needs of the PKD community. Our goals are to further legislation, regulations and federal funding opportunities to improve the lives of everyone in the PKD community.

Join us in educating your elected officials about how they can help fight PKD by subscribing to our Advocacy Alerts. Your voice is vital to raising awareness of PKD and helping increase research funding to bring treatments and therapies to patients, and to provide the best care for those who rely on dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant to stay alive.
