I Have Polycystic Kidney Disease

my PKD was discovered in 2009 as a result of a blood test but I was not diagnosed with this until 2016. My PKD is a result of another syndrome which causes it in adulthood. I have been on dialysis ever since.

Sounds like you do the Hemo. My brother-in-law did the Peritoneal dialysis at home. It is life changing and you are very young. Is their a transplant chance in the future? I wish you all the best.

@lasergraph i am on the list at the moment, so yes there is a chance in the future that i can have a transplant, the doctor's didn't think Peritoneal was right for me because i had surgeries in the past which may effect it.

@Alanuin There is no good solution, either way it sucks. I know it is a struggle.
