How long can people live with PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease)? As for this
question, there exists no exact answer because the life expectancy varies from
case to case. However, what you do can predict your life expectancy? Your
therapy and your time when receiving treatment, as well as your daily activity
can affect your life span.
What treatment you adopt is the main reference for your survival time. What
really matters is its focus points—just eliminating visible symptoms by
shrinking the cysts.
You can get the answer why you suffer from such back pain, hematuria or
proteinuria, from you doctor. He or she will attribute all symptoms to the
continuous growth of the cysts. Therefore, as long as you choose proper
treatment to shrink the cysts, you are following the right direction for
prolonging your life expectancy. Besides, if you can get some natural therapies,
such as Chinese Herbal Medicine, your life expectany can be prolonged
naturally.
At the very start, the cysts are very small, which do not pose any symptoms.
You may feel no or mild discomforts, which blinds your eyes to see a doctor.
That’s one important factor to induce poor prognosis and shorten you life
expectancy. For the reason that, the delay of treatment may miss the best time
in achieving best curative effects and even cause severe complications, such as
renal failure and even ESRD.
Besides regular treatment, daily action reflects how long can you live with
Polycystic Kidney Disease. Survey shows patients who keep a special diet and
proper exercise live fairly longer than those who fail to do so. However, the
physical activities should be mild for fear of the burst of kidney cysts.
