Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder that causes cysts on the kidneys to form. This leads to massive swelling and enlargement of the kidneys. Over time, kidney function declines as a result of the cysts - and kidney failure usually ensues. In fact, most PKD sufferers have serious kidney disease by the time they reach their sixties.
Polycystic kidney disease is characterized by the growth of numerous kidney cysts, which cause abnormalities in both the kidney structure and function. Cysts also develop in other organs, particularly in the liver. Other manifestations of polycystic kidney disease include high blood pressure, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, blood in the urine, hernia and weakening of blood vessels, referred to as aneurysm. Pain in the back, abdomen and pelvis affects many PKD patients.
In the treatment of polycystic kidney disease, current medicine has been well studied, also have more breakthroughs. However, timely treatment can relieve symptoms and help you live a longer, healthier life.
These are just above the basic symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease in patients with a brief description, if you are not just limited to articles of these things, you want to consult experts in something more, you can send what you want advice or want to know what to kidney-support@hotmail.com this email, we will within 24 hours to give you a professional answer.

Treatment of polycystic kidney disease and associated symptoms described
Polycystic Kidney Disease can also cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as blood vessels in the brain and heart. The number of cysts as well as the complications they cause help doctors distinguish Polycystic Kidney Disease from the usually harmless "simple" cysts that often form in the kidneys in later years of life.
Polycystic Kidney Disease and kidney failure
Kidney failure occurs when you are left with less than 10-15% of total kidney function. When the kidneys fail, dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant is needed. Not everyone with PKD will go on to develop kidney failure. On average, half of the people with the Type 1 variant of ADPKD will require treatment for kidney failure by age 60. However, people affected with the Type 2 variant have a lower risk for developing kidney failure. There are treatments available that help to delay progression of ADPKD. Children born with ARPKD usually develop kidney failure within a few years.
Symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease
ADPKD usually progresses very slowly. Early in the disease there are often no symptoms. The only way to detect ADPKD is to be tested for cysts in the kidneys.
According to new research published in the journal PPAR Research, a diabetes drug called pioglitazone slows down growth of cystic kidneys due to polycystic kidney disease. Kidney cysts become larger when chloride and water are transported into the cysts causing them to swell. Pioglitazone has the unique ability to block channels that transport chloride into these cysts, which prevents their expansion. This is good news for PKD sufferers who often suffer from abdominal discomfort and esophageal reflux due to their large kidney size.

The best way to treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease
At present, there is no specific treatment for PKD. However, it is important for anyone with PKD to have regular checkups.
Treatment is confined to complications such as infection, stones, bleeding and hypertension.
A low-protein diet may slow progression of the disease.
Operations, such as cyst puncture or removal, designed to relieve pressure, may make the condition worse.
Blood pressure control and prevention of kidney stones and infections have improved the prognosis for those with PKD. Dialysis and transplantation are other alternatives.
What is Polycystic Kidney Disease?
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, located in the upper part of a person's abdomen, toward the back. The kidneys filter wastes and extra fluid from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in the body. When cysts form in the kidneys, they are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can profoundly enlarge the kidneys while replacing much of the normal structure, resulting in reduced kidney function and leading to kidney failure.
When PKD causes kidneys to fail-which usually happens after many years-the patient requires dialysis or kidney transplantation. About one-half of people with the most common type of PKD progress to kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
ADPKD is uncommon – only one in every 1,000 people are born with the condition.
However, ADPKD is the most common genetic condition to affect the kidneys. It is estimated that around 50,000 people in the UK currently have ADPKD symptoms or will develop the condition at some point.

Chronic kidney failure
Chronic kidney failure, also called chronic kidney disease, describes the
gradual loss of kidney function. Your kidneys filter wastes and excess fluids
from your blood, which are then excreted in your urine. When chronic kidney
failure reaches an advanced stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and
wastes can accumulate in your body.
How does kidney failure affect the blood?
In addition to uremia, kidney failure can also cause anemia, a condition in which the red blood cells are fewer or smaller than normal, which means less oxygen is carried to the body’s cells. Anemia can cause extreme fatigue and can worsen existing heart problems.
Anemia is common in people with CKD, as well as those on dialysis, because the damaged kidneys slow the production of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO), which helps the bone marrow make red blood cells. Less EPO means the body has fewer red blood cells, resulting in anemia. A synthetic form of EPO is commonly prescribed for people on dialysis.
How does kidney failure affect the appetite?
People who have uremia often lose their appetite. Some people find that food tastes different. Some no longer like foods they once craved. In fact, many people feel sick to their stomach at the thought of eating. But getting enough protein and calories is important for staying healthy. People with kidney failure should talk with the renal dietitian at their dialysis clinic or transplant center to find foods that are appealing and provide needed nutrients.
How does kidney failure affect mental health?
Many people feel depressed when starting dialysis, or after several months of treatment. Adjusting to the effects of kidney failure and the time spent on dialysis can be difficult. People on dialysis also have less energy. They need to make changes in their work or home life, giving up some activities and responsibilities. Keeping to a schedule can be difficult when kidneys fail. Accepting this new situation can be hard. A mental health counselor or renal social worker can help people who are approaching total kidney failure and those starting dialysis. People who have kidney failure and depression should not keep their depression to themselves or assume they can handle their problems on their own. They should tell their health care provider because depression can often be treated with adjustments to the diet and dialysis dose, medications, and counseling. Scientists are also studying the use of cognitive behavioral therapy—a way of correcting harmful thought and behavior patterns—to treat depression in people with total kidney failure.

Polycystic Nephritis: Cause, Symptoms, Test, Treatment, Prognosis
Polycystic Nephritis, Polycystic Kidney Disease as its alternative name, is a typical genetic kidney problem. In people with this disease, countless cysts grow up and develop from the kidneys.
Cause
As mentioned above Polycystic Nephritis is genetic kidney disease. Thereby, the disease runs into families. Apart from genetic factor, genetic mutation is rare to be another cause.
However, not every one with PKD genes will develop into the kidney disease. Some factors do trigger the development of renal cysts, including cysts in other organs (such as, liver, pancreas etc.), diverticula of the colon, aortic aneurysms and brain aneurysms.
Symptoms
Symptoms may occur in the childhood or adulthood. The common type of the disease is ADPKD which always shows symptoms until middle age. Another type ARPKD usually develops in one’s childhood when symptoms occur. In fact, a great deal of people does not show symptoms even after 30s.
If symptoms occur, you may feel:
● Abdominal pain, flank pain, sides pain
● Frequent urination, especially at night
● Blood in urine
● High blood pressure (does high blood pressure leads to cyst rupture?)
● Increased size of abdomen
● Kidney stones
Test
Some tests are helpful to find and detect the size and number of kidney cysts and the kidney damages condition. To make a diagnosis, your doctor may suggest the following tests:
● Computerized Tomography Scan (CT)
● Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scan (MRI)
● Ultrasound Examination
Treatment
Treatment for Polycystic Nephritis is dealing with the symptoms, complications and root causes.
Anti-hypertensive Medication. Hypertension is an important symptoms which aggravates the kidney damages quickly which usually onsets before your age of 30. Common medications for elevated blood pressure include ACE, ARB and herbs.
Surgery. Surgery is common method for some patients. It is used to drain one or several larger cysts. If necessary, surgery also can be remove one or both polycystic kidneys.
Chinese herbs. Chinese herb is a conservative treatment which shrinks renal cyst and lower high blood pressure naturally.
Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is not a must in treating polycystic nephritis, which is used to improve kidney function, especially when patients develop into kidney failure stage.
Prognosis
Polycystic Nephritis is a chronic kidney disease. However, the complications, such as high blood pressure, cysts in liver and cyst rupture speed up the development of the disease.
Eventually, the disease will develop into kidney failure and eventually leads to end stage of kidney disease.
