Kidney Research UK
This site is the leading UK charity that funds research to prevent, treat and manage kidney disease. Some of their research deals with PKD directly while other research deals with kidney disease on a broad scale. Their site is useful because it shows what is going on internationally to fight PKD. It also publishes some of its recent research dealing with PKD and kidney disease. While this source is useful for people looking to get a look into research in the UK, it covers a broad range of kidney diseases and should not be looked at as a source of general information about PKD.
