Statistical Sources

Statistics about Polycystic kidney disease

This page is part of the Wrong Diagnosis website and lists links to several different statistics about PKD.  The site contains statistics about complications, incidences, hospitalization and more.  It even contains an estimation of the statistics by country for PKD.  This source would be a good reference for anyone looking for facts about PKD or anyone who is interested in a particular area of the statistics.

Kidney and Urologic Disease Statistics for the United States

This website is part of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).  This page in particular lists statistics of kidney problems in the United states and includes information such as the prevalence, the cases per states, mortality and which diseases cause the kidney problems, which includes PKD.  This site would be good for anyone looking for statistics to support their research or to better understand the widespread effect of kidney disease.  The statistics are a few years old because of census data, but the information wouldn’t have changed too much and should still be relevant and useful.
