What Should You Do With Polycystic Kidney Disease

The cysts different from each other in size and the cysts are full of yellow fluid which transforms into hemic fluid when infection or injury occurs. Due to the age increasing, the cysts increase to damage renal parenchyma, resulting in renal failure or uremia.
