PKD Treatment is mostly a familial problem that gets passed down from generation to generation

PKD Treatment is the most common inherited condition to affect the kidneys, although it is still relatively uncommon.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common Mendelian disorder of the kidney and affects all racial groups worldwide, with a frequency of 1:500 to 1000 (1–4). It is characterized by focal and sporadic development of renal and extrarenal cysts in an age-dependent manner. Typically, only a few renal cysts are detected in most affected individuals before 30 yr of age. However, by the fifth decade of life, hundreds to thousands of renal cysts will be found in the majority of patients.

PKD Treatment is a hereditary disorder of renal cyst formation causing gradual enlargement of both kidneys, sometimes with progression to renal failure. Almost all forms are caused by a familial genetic mutation. Symptoms and signs include flank and abdominal pain, hematuria, and hypertension. Diagnosis is by CT or ultrasonography. Treatment is symptomatic before renal failure and with dialysis or transplantation afterward.

Blood in your urine can be another common initial symptom of PKD Treatment Although this can often be a frightening symptom, it is not usually a serious concern because most cases will resolve within a week without the need for treatment.
However, it is still important to see your GP if you notice blood in your urine so another cause, such as a growth in the bladder, can be looked for and excluded.

PKD Treatment is mostly a familial problem that gets passed down from generation to generation. There are some sporadic cases. Typically if someone in the family has had PKD, the rest of the family knows about it and gets screened. Primary care physicians play an important role in helping diagnose PKD by getting ultrasounds of their patients’ abdomens. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to stop the progression of PKD.
