Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a very vague term for most people.
Generally, the symptoms are not obvious either, of which the occasional backache
will usually be ignored by most patients. Many PKD patients detect it
accidentally when performing a check. Then, will all PKD develop into end-stage
renal failure? How to stop the progress of PKD in its track?
What is more, a lot of patients also ask me whether PKD patients can get
married and have a baby.
Female PKD patients can have a healthy baby if his kidney is not seriously
damaged, without high blood pressure and mass proteinuria. What is more, his
primary kidney disease can not be severer to have a baby. If your illness
condition is under control, we suggest you to form a family as early as
possible. Your kidneys can be damaged over time, and you will lose the best
opportunity to have a baby.
If you are identified with PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease), early treatment
is necessary.
Polycystic Kidney Disease develops slowly and many patients just hide their
discomforts. They do not want their family to know their ailments. However, your
kidneys are worsening little by little.
The illness condition can not be delayed.
The cysts can bring us so many agonies and the maintenance dialysis can cause
too much burden to the families in the late stage. So, patients should say their
illness condition out as early as possible. Patients can have a better prognosis
if they receive treatment in time. All in all, patients should receive treatment
when the cysts are still very small. At this stage, no big problems they have
caused on the kidneys. That is to say, the cysts are much easier to be
controlled.
What is more, patients should take regular checks which include urine
routine, blood routine and kidney function. In this way, we can clear which
stage our illness condition has developed into.
