ARPKD & NPHP

Rare Disease Group

The Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD)/Nephronophthisis (NPHP) Rare Disease Group (RDG) aims to:

  • Develop and advocate best practice guidelines for the treatment of ARPKD and NPHP
  • Provide up-to-date, best practice patient information and group support
  • Support research into basic science, genetic, translational, psychosocial and clinical aspects of ARPKD and NPHP
  • Foster collaborations with European and international groups and partners

Patient events

The PKD Charity hold regular Patient Information Days around the United Kingdom. Details of future events will be posted here when they are announced.

To harmonise data collection across Europe and internationally the ARPKD/NPHP-RDG has established links with established European and US registries: ARegPKD  Europe (director Dr. M. Liebau) and US Hepato/Renal Fibrocystic Diseases Translational Resource (director Prof L. Guay-Woodford).

The ARPKD/NPHP RDG works closely with the PKD Charity, led by Tess Harris, CEO and Alan Greenberg, chairman. There is also a very active Facebook group that users can request to join.
