Hi - I'm Mike. Pleased to meet you!

Aged 60, born in Birmingham in the UK, now living on the Wirral. Diagnosed early 2021 with ADPKD. I have 3 kids, early to mid 30's, and 2 little grandkids. Had my first face-to-face with nephrologist recently, and I have a few questions I'd like to put to the group soon, if that's OK.

Regards,

Mike

Not seeing any replies to your "hello". I'm 69, diagnosed with PDK 14 years ago, though I've had it all my life most likely. I'll be starting dialysis in the spring (Periodontal Dialysis-PD). What questions do you have.

Not what you're looking for?
