Senior Portrait Day slated at Ansonia High School
Shared from Ansonia Public Schools' Facebook page.
Today is PKD Awareness Day
I'm posting this as someone who inherited Polycystic Kidney Disease and is forever grateful to have received a healthy kidney from an altruistic donor.
From the PKD Foundation website:
A typical kidney is the size of a human fist and weighs about a third of a pound.
Polycystic kidneys can be much larger, some growing as large as a football.
Kidneys can develop cysts ranging in size from as small as a pinhead to as large as a grapefruit.
There are two types of genetic PKD:
ADPKD is the more common type of PKD and is estimated to affect more than 600,000 Americans and 12.4 million people worldwide.
ARPKD is a rare form of PKD that occurs in 1 in 25,000 children worldwide.
There is no cure. But with the first treatment for ADPKD approved in 2018 and ongoing clinical trials, there is hope.
