Support

The STOP-PKD study is funded and financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The professional associations "German Society of Nephrology (DGfN)", the "European Renal Association (ERA)" and the "European Reference Network for Rare Kidney Diseases (ERKNet)" endorsed the study to investigate new treatment options for ADPKD as part of the DFG application. The patient associations "Familiäre Zystennieren e.V.," "Bundesverband Niere e.V.," "Nierpatiënten Vereniging Nederland," and "PKD International" made valuable contributions to the planning of the study and are part of the STOP-PKD patient advisory board. We would also like to thank the following associations for their support of the funding application: "Association Polykystose France (PKD France)", "AIRP (Associazione Italiana Rene Policistico)", "Federacion Nacional de Asociaciones ALCER", "Irish Kidney Association", "Polycystic Kidney Disease Charity UK", "Selbsthilfe Niere (Austria)" and "Arbeitsgemeinschaft Niere Österreich"
