I was diagnosed with kidney failure at age 29 then found out it was due to PKD.  I did hemodialysis for a year and met many others in my samesituation.  On October 24, 2001 I had a transplant that was graciously given to me by my younger sister.  The doctors said the kidney looked happy to be there and I believe that because my sister gave it to me with all her love.  The kidney has been going strong since the day it came to me.  I am taking new meds like prograf, cell cept and of course prednisone along with blood pressure meds.  I have the moon face, weight gain and shakiness of the hands but I consider these all a small price to pay for a second chance at living a normal life again.  I am very happy and have much hope for the future for all people with PKD.
