CDC information:  National Chronic Kidney Disease fact sheet, 2014 risk factors include family history  [PDF 1 MB]

CDC Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Surveillance System documents the burden of CKD and its risk factors in the U.S. population over time

What is polycystic kidney disease? A genetic disorder affecting more than half a million people in the US and is a significant cause of chronic kidney disease. From the NIH Genetics Home Reference

Find out more about genetic disorders associated with polycystic kidney disease and available genetic tests from the NIH Genetic Testing Registry

Did you know? More than 1000 genes have been reported in relation to risk and outcomes of chronic kidney disease including 15 genomewide association studies. To find out more, visit the HuGE Navigator
