Few obvious symptoms can be found in the early stage of PKD. Therefore, most
patients do not pay enough attention on it and most patients are tested out PKD

having this disease until they go to hospital for tests and examinations due to
appearance of obvious symptoms. For this reason, learn more about the symptoms
of PKD is important for patients to have a general understanding about their
condition.

region. Most patients may think that such feeling may be caused by tiredness or
careless crash or other factors. Actually, waist pain or abdominal discomfort is

history, they should pay enough attention on this sign.
Secondly, proteinuria can occur with cysts growing and increasing. When cysts
are small, they do not compress kidney obviously and proteinuria do not happen
at this moment. However, when cysts grow to a certain degree, they will compress
kidney seriously and begin to cause injury to kidney, affecting glomerular
filtrating function. Then proteinuria happens.
Thirdly, Haematuria will appear if cysts grow to some degree and cyst rupture
happens. This symptom can be considered as an important factor for patients to
find this disease.
