Polycystic Kidney Disease is the most common hereditary disease which will
accompany with you all your lifetime. In the early stage, the cysts are very
small and patients will not feel obvious symptoms. These cysts will not
disappear naturally and they will grow larger over time and oppress the normal
kidney tissues. At this time, patients will present a series of symptoms. When
the cysts replace more and more kidney tissues, the illness condition will
finally go into End Stage Renal Disease. So, patients should treat Polycystic
Kidney Disease before it is too late.
There is an equal chance for male and female to get PKD in a family. If one
parent has PKD, his or her children will have a 50% chance to get it because of
the rule of inheritance. If both parents have PKD, the children will have 75%
chance to get it. Those children who do not present symptoms do not carry the
faulty genes. And if those people get married with people who do not have PKD,
his or her children will not have PKD. Those cases are very rare who get
Polycystic Kidney Disease because of gene mutation.
Then, when is the best time to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease? As for this
question, we can give you a definite answer, which is the earlier the better.
Any disease has a progress and there is no exception for PKD patients. The
bigger the cysts, the greater damage they will pose. Also, at a young age, your
immune system has great vitality, which is good for your recovery.
In most cases, Polycystic Kidney Disease will develop into kidney failure. We
can say that it is too late if patients start to receive treatment at that time.
The illness condition can not be reversed at that time.
So, treat Polycystic Kidney Disease before it is too late. As for the
treatment principles, please consult our online medical staff, they can give you
