Will you die from polycystic kidney disease (PKD)? PKD is a common hereditary kidney disease. It is characterized by multiple cysts in both kidneys. The cysts continue to grow and finally damage kidney structure and renal function. Then end stage renal failure occurs. Well, will you die from PKD?

Although PKD is a hereditary disease, as long as it is treated timely, you can live a relatively longer life.

How to treat PKD?

Different medical condition has different treatment. That is, there is no uniform method of treatment for PKD. Since PKD development is slow, it is no danger for your health when PKD has no symptoms and no kidney damage. When patients are diagnosed with this disease, they are usually older. Therefore, as for patients without symptoms, even though kidney cysts are large, there is no need to be treated. What you can do is to take B ultrasound on kidneys regularly. If patients experience symptoms like back pain and abnormal urine caused by renal cyst, and renal cyst is larger than 5cm, surgery is required but it is more likely to relapse.

Will you die from PKD?

As for this question, there is no exact answer. It depends on the medical conditions. If PKD is in the early stage, patients accept timely treatment, the therapeutic effects are much better and illness conditions can be controlled. However, if PKD develops to late stage and uremia occurs, patients at this time choose dialysis or transplant. But it is not ideal therapy. Therefore, how long you can live depends on your medical conditions and the treatment you adopt.

If you want to live longer, you can have a try of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy can shrink kidney cysts and inhibit its growth from the root. When kidney cysts become smaller, kidney damage will be alleviated and related symptoms will be relieved effectively. In this way, you will live a longer life span.
