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 jaberj2@chop.edu.

In this study, we are developing new ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods to measure kidney and liver disease severity in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). Participants in this study will include individuals with ARPKD, and a comparison group of healthy individuals without liver or kidney disease. Individuals of any age may take part in the study.
