How common is PKD in cats?
Unfortunately PKD has now become very common in some cat breeds. Persian cats have the highest incidence of problems and studies around the world and in the UK have shown that around 1 in 3 Persian cats are now affected by the disease. Other cat breeds that have been developed using Persian bloodlines, like Chinchillas and Exotics, also have a significant proportion of affected cats, but in other unrelated breeds it is a rare condition.
