An Overview of Polycystic Kidney Disease Prognosis

Polycystic kidney disease is a kidney disorder passed down through families. Now, it is the number four cause of kidney failure in Americans. However, how about the prognosis of Polycystic Kidney Disease?


Polycystic kidney disease isn't limited to your kidneys, although the kidneys usually are the most severely affected organs. The disease can cause cysts to develop in your liver and elsewhere in your body. As these cysts grow bigger and bigger, more and more symptoms and signs may occur to warn the loss of kidney function. At present, no specific treatments can cure PKD completely, so its prognosis is always not so good.

Please, don't lose your heart, because some treatments can still help improve your prognosis and overall health.

In addition, it can also help repair the damaged kidney cells.
