Can I play sports with #PKD? Usually, that isn’t one yes-or-no question. Everyday exercise, organized sports, and contact/collision sports raise different questions. Our teen-facing guide explains what to ask and who to talk to. https://t.co/deMdQQNVrj #KidneyHealth #YouthSports

ADPKD can affect school in ways people don’t always see. A #504Plan may help with things like restroom access, testing interruptions, and missed work. Here’s how to start the conversation: https://t.co/ds3MunYHCL

A great opportunity for the #ADPKD community to learn directly from clinicians and researchers at @YaleNephrology. Glad to see conversations around ADPKD diagnosis, genetics, emerging therapies, and patient care continuing to grow.

Grateful to be here. PKD Bridge was grateful to be present as part of #PKDCommunity at today’s 2026 Boston Walk for PKD. It was meaningful to see walkers, volunteers, families, and supporters come together for those affected by #PKD. Same path. Brighter tomorrows. #KidneyHealth

Applying to college with #PKD can raise practical questions:
What happens to kidney follow-up after I move?
Who can help if I need support on campus?
PKD Bridge has a teen-facing guide: https://t.co/5jH4ECamoC
