Generally speaking, the male patients of PKD have a bad prognosis than
females. If the onset of PKD is early, bad prognosis is for sure. What is more,
the prognosis of PKD also can be influenced by high blood pressure, times of
fetation and the frequency of urinary tract infections.
If no proper treatment is received, the 10 years survival rate is only ten
years if patients have renal insufficiency. It is estimated that the serum
creatinine level will be doubled every three years. That is to say, the serum
creatinine clearance will decline 50%. If patients never have elevated serum
creatinine, kidney stone, urinary tract infections and severe high blood
pressure, patients can live 30-40 years. In recent years, as the medical
technology has been greatly improved, the time for patients of developing into
kidney failure is greatly prolonged.
It is said that patients with ADPKD can have normal kidney functions when
they are 50 years old account for 71%, 58% when they are 58 years old and 23%
when they are 70 years old.
In very few cases, PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) will have canceration.
There is possibility that there is proliferation and canceration in renal
papillae. In this condition, the kidney condition will decline sharply. Life
will come to an end in a short time.
To have a better prognosis, patients should receive proper treatment as early
as possible to control the continuous growth of kidney cysts. Because of the
faulty genes can not be changed, western surgeries are not recommended. What is
more, to have a proper lifestyle and pay special attention to your daily diet,
you can live a long and full life. Other tips and specific advice, please
