PKD Foundation Australia are a new organisation working to find a cure for Polycycstic Kidney Disease (PKD). Between 5000 and 6000 Australians live with PKD, and a small number of them also have tuberous sclerosis. Research has estimated that between 2% and 5% of people with TSC also have PKD and this can be a life threatening combination. You can read more about PKD and the other signs of TSC in the kidneys on our information page.
Tuberous Sclerosis Australia have met with PKD Foundation and we will work with them towards their cure.
