Polycystic Kidney

Disease Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is an inherited disorder in which many cysts (small sacs filled with fluid) develop in the kidneys. PKD can cause pain, kidney failure, and hypertension. Over time, it can cause kidney stones, cyst hemorrhage, and other complications. If left untreated, PKD often leads to end-stage kidney disease, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. Early diagnosis is key to successful management of the disease. Treatments like lifestyle modifications, medications, and surgical procedures can help slow the progression of the disease and improve symptom management.
