Polycystic Kidney Disease is an incurable inherited disorder that causes the
formation of multiple cysts on the kidneys. In turn, the cysts rupture, causing
the enlargement and swelling of the kidneys.
Symptoms of PKD cysts rupture
Hematuria, or blood in urine
In most cases, this is a reported sign of cysts rupture within the kidney. In
mild condition, people may not detect the blood by naked eyes. This can only
been found by a urine test that is done by the physician.
If the condition is more serious, cysts rupture may lead to bleeding that can
be detected during urine excretion.
In severe situations, ruptured cysts may result in obstructed blood flow in
some parts of the kidneys, leading to damage.
Pain
A person with cysts rupture may experience pain with varied degrees. Usually,
the enlarged cysts will press against normal renal tissues, and the oppression
can cause them to rupture. Consequently, pain in the back, sides, abdomen may
occur.
Besides, another reason for pain is infection. If the fluid in the cysts is
infected, once a rupture occurs the infection is no longer contained and may
spread to other parts of the body.
Moreover, with a secondary infection, more symptoms including increased
urinate frequency, urgency to urinate, pain during urinating, high fever, or
shivering would appear.
Once a person detect the above symptoms, he may suffer from PKD cysts
rupture, and prompt treatment should be adopted as early as possible to protect
the kidney function and repair damaged renal tissue.
