	Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) -- familydoctor.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited disease that affects the kidneys.
		PKD is generally worse in men, fls and patients with sickle cell disease.
		PKD can be diagnosed in unborn babies using a test called amniocentesis (analysis of the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby) or a test called chorionic villus sampling (examination of a small piece of the placenta).

		PKD is not a new disease and has been reported for over 30 years in the literature.
		Unfortunatley, PKD does not have strong clinical presentations until the cats have been used for breeding and the presentation is similar to one of the most common causes of death for any cat, renal failure.
		PKD is most common in the Persian breed and breeds that are related to Persians or have used them in their breeding programs.

	PKD - The Silent Battle
		Polycystic kidney disease or PKD is a disease which causes cysts to form in the kidneys.
		If you inherit the gene for PKD then you will either have the disease or you will be a silent carrier (where you don't have the disease but you may pass on the gene).
		In Adult PKD the gene for the disease is dominant.

	Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
		Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts filled with fluid in the kidneys.
		PKD is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure and affects approximately 500,000 people in the US.
		Autosomal recessive PKD is a rare, inherited form of polycystic kidney disease thought to be caused by a particular genetic flaw that is different from the genetic flaw that causes autosomal dominant PKD.

		Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys.
		Although this test can detect the presence of the autosomal dominant PKD mutations before cysts develop, its usefulness is limited by two factors; it cannot predict the onset or ultimate severity of the disease, and no absolute cure is available to prevent the onset of the disease.
		Autosomal recessive PKD is caused by a particular genetic flaw that is different from the genetic flaw that causes autosomal dominant PKD.

		PKD can also cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as the heart and blood vessels in the brain.
		Parents would not be at increased risk to have additional children with PKD, but the child with PKD would have a 50/50 chance to pass the gene on to their children.
		Autosomal recessive PKD is sometimes detected prenatally (before birth) using a fetal ultrasound.

	The Feline PKD FAQ -- Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About PKD in Cats
		PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) is a progressive, genetic disease of the kidneys.
		Because PKD is a genetic disease, not a communicable disease.
		Because Autosomal Dominant PKD tends to be a "late onset" disease, it's quite possible that a breeder may have inadvertently "passed the problem" on to a pet owner or another breeder before there is any sign of a problem.

	Melanie's PKD Page
		Many PKD patients find it useful to have access to the same information as their doctors because many doctors are unfortunately pretty unfamiliar with the disease.
		If you have any questions about PKD for any reason, or if you know of anyone who has the disease and is looking for more information or for support groups I encourage you to contact any of the sources I have listed here, or to ask me a question.
		PKD causes balloon-type cysts to form on the kidneys, interfering with function and frequently culminating in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), requiring either dialysis or a kidney transplant to sustain life.

		Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a group of diseases characterized by dilatation of the tubular units of the kidney.
		The name “PKD” really is a misnomer, however, in that many individuals also have significant liver disease (sometimes necessitating liver transplant) and cardiovascular disease (resulting in hypertension, strokes, aneurysms of the blood vessels of the brain and aorta, and cardiac valvular disorders).
		In PKD, the cell is either unable to acquire this information because the sensor is defective, or is unable to respond properly to the signal.

		PKD is most easily diagnosed by ultrasound, which can identify the disease very early in its course.
		There is a marked variability in how quickly individual cats succumb, with the possibility of the symptoms of PKD developing late enough in life that the cat can die of other causes before kidney failure.
		As PKD is the result of an autosomal dominant gene, it is relatively easy to track and eliminate from the breeding population.

		PKD is a disorder characterized by the development of multiple, balloon like sacs (cysts) in one or both kidneys.
		Most cases (90%) of PKD are inherited, which means PKD is passed down through genes (DNA) from parent to a child.
		Autosomal recessive pattern -- requires both parents to carry an abnormal variation of the PKD gene, which means that if both parents (neither actually has PKD) pass their defective gene to their child, he will have the disease.

		To be more specific, an example would be that, if we breed 2 PKD positive parents, we will most assuredly produce only PKD positive kitten.
		W ith this in mind, we can also assume that, theoretically speaking, if we breed one PKD positive cat to a PKD negative cat, the offspring should be 50% PKD positive and 50% PKD negative.
		The test for PKD is an ultrasound and should be done by a certified technician who is used to testing for PKD in felines, as this is easy to miss at in some cases.

		Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disease found in approximately one-third of all Persians (including Himalayans), Exotics, and to a lesser extent in other breeds and even in domestic cats.
		Most catteries tested to date are reporting that between 25 and 67 percent of their cats test positive for this disease, and will thus pass the disease on to approximately 1/2 of their offspring (averaged over time).
		PKD can be diagnosed via ultrasound given proper equipment (at least a 7.5 mhz transducer and 256 shade gray scale) and properly trained personnel.
