    “My name is Casey Medert and I found out I had PKD when I was 21 years old. At the time, I was in college and trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. No one in my family had PKD. I had no idea how this could affect my life, and it became a very scary time for me at such a young age. Fast forward to today: I’m now 36 years old and married with two amazing kids. While it’s still scary to be living with PKD, I find so much comfort in knowing that I have a supportive family and an amazing nephrologist who has my best interests in mind. Last year, she advised that I may potentially need a transplant in the next 10 years. She recommended that I start taking tolvaptan to decrease the growth of the cysts on my kidneys. While I’ve only been taking this medicine for a year, it’s given me hope that more advances will be made in the medical field in regard to PKD. It gives me hope that I will be present and healthy for my kids in the years to come.” New treatments and advances in PKD research don’t happen without your support. World Kidney Day only comes once a year. Join the PKD Foundation in positively impacting everyone affected by PKD. Give today. https://lnkd.in/g7SBT45Y

    PKD makes life unpredictable for Justine and her husband, Jared. It affects everything from diet and travel to family planning. Through the ups and downs,?Justine turns to the PKD Foundation for trusted information and a supportive community to help her be a compassionate care?partner. ? “I have worked in healthcare for 19 years. I'd heard of PKD, and conceptually understood what the disease was, but it wasn’t until I met my husband and his family in 2021 that I really understood. It’s shocking how uniformed people in healthcare are about PKD... This is what motivates me to support the PKD Foundation. I want to be an advocate for those living with this disease and their loved ones. I know there are many different choices my husband would have made over his lifetime if he knew how it would impact the progression of his disease.” During National Kidney Month, you can ensure every person affected by PKD has access to the resources they need.
