ARPKD is a kind of chronic kidney disease, which is very annoying and affects patients’ life a lot. Children with ARPKD need to go to see doctors frequently in daily life, which makes them miss some classes in school. In addition, as cyst grows and enlarges, stomach can be seen very large, making children look like short and fat in shape.

In addition, as ARPKD can damage kidney, kidney tubules can be impaired, making reabsorption of fluids get affected. In this way, children with ARPKD may have more urination in school and home. High blood pressure can be caused, and children may have sleeping problems at night.

In daily life, because children with ARPKD need to take some medicines, lack exercise and have a restricted diet, they may have malnutrition, weakness, and fatigue.

Though we really do not want to say children with ARPKD is different, there are many differences in school or home for them actually. Parents should talk with teachers about children’s disease, and need more care in school time. If there is anything wrong happening on children, inform parents and go to hospital immediately.

The above things need to be taken into consideration for parents of children with ARPKD.
