Our first GMKIN Friend is the “Paradoxical Patient” who describes themself as “a restless soul, an aspiring novelist, poor poet, and paradoxical patient with a lifelong, life-threatening condition. I live in London and am never far away from an e-gadget (or i-gadget).

I inherited ADPKD – autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease – from my dad, who inherited it from his mum. Apart from ADPKD, I consider myself to be one of the healthiest people on the planet And therein lies the paradox.”  The Paradoxical Patient

  • Last Wednesday I had the privilege to ‘sit in’ on the the Committee Meeting of HOPE KPA.
    The hard work these people put in to HELP other Renal Patients is incredible.
    I would urge more people to join HOPE KPA and volunteer their help where they are
    able. Above all support YOUR KPA!

    TONY .’.
