?? Come celebrate with us the 10th anniversary of the ADPedKD Registry and International PKD Day!
 
It is my great pleasure to invite you to participate in the symposium
“Advancing Frontiers in Early-Stage ADPKD: Celebrating 10 Years of the ADPedKD Registry & the International PKD Day,”
which will take place on Friday 4 September 2026 at UZ Leuven.
This milestone event will bring together leading international experts in pediatric and adult nephrology, genetics, imaging, and patient advocacy to focus on the early stages of ADPKD, an area with significant potential for advancing therapeutic strategies and improving long-term outcomes.
Over the past decade, the ADPedKD Registry has evolved into the largest global collaborative platform in pediatric ADPKD, generating valuable insights into early disease progression, imaging biomarkers, genetic determinants, and modifiable risk factors.
This anniversary symposium aims to celebrate these achievements while fostering future collaboration and innovation in the field.
The scientific programme (attached) features internationally renowned speakers and covers key topics including (Please find the detailed programme attached):
  • Advances in early-stage ADPKD and registry insights
  • Current and emerging therapeutic approaches
  • Imaging classifications and disease monitoring
  • Eraly perspectives and hypertension management
