ARPKD/HRFD Database
This study is now recruiting.
CHOP has established a research database of data and biological samples of people who have autosomal polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) or another hepato/renal fibrocystic disease (HRFD). The purpose is to try to learn more about the causes of these diseases. We will collect data from participants' medical records to contribute to the database. Optional blood/saliva or tissue sample may also be collected. Visit arpkdb.org to download the consent or call the CHOP Research Coordinator, Jasmine Jaber at [email protected].
