CKD is a broad category. I have ADTKD ( Autosomal Dominant Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease). Like PKD it is genetic. I inherited the gene from my mother who died from kidney disease. I have 2 sisters who are also effected - 1 sister and I have been transplanted and the third sister is still on the waiting list wiring for her transplant.
ADTKD is a rare genetic disorder. Information on ADTKD can be found on the Rare Kidney Disease Foundation website.
