POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE TREATMENT
WHAT IS POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE? Multiple cysts occur in the kidneys due to polycystic kidney disease (also known as PKD). These cysts are fluidfilled. The kidneys can be injured if there are too many cysts or if they are too large. Cysts caused by PKD can gradually replace a large portion of the kidneys, lowering renal function and eventually leading to kidney failure.
SYMPTOMS OR SIGNS Back or side pain An increase in the size of the abdomen Blood in the urine Frequent bladder or kidney infections High blood pressure Fluttering or pounding in the chest
TREATMENT There is currently no cure for PKD. However, there is a lot of study going on. According to recent research, drinking plain water throughout the day and avoiding caffeinecontaining beverages can help to reduce cyst growth. We're also learning more about the genetics of PKD thanks to research.
