A new survey reveals two-in-three family caregivers feel undervalued by society.

This Family Health History Month, five-time Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin is teaming up with Otsuka to shine a light on the importance of initiating family conversations about health history – particularly in those with a history of kidney disease. Through this ongoing collaboration, Missy is sharing how autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has affected her own family. ADPKD is a rare genetic condition that causes cysts to form on the kidneys, eventually leading to a decline in kidney function and requiring a need for dialysis or a transplant.
