How long can PKD patients live? This should be a common question for all the PKD patients. As we know, PKD is a genetic kidney disease, and people often find their PKD in their middle age. However, as the health examination is widespread, more and more PKD patients find their disease in an early age. So more and more PKD patients will wonder how long they can live with this disease.

In fact, there are some factors that will affect the life expectancy:

1. In general, PKD patients start to have clinical symptom when they are older than 30 years old. The earlier age that PKD patients have symptom, the severer condition that PKD patients will have, then they will have a poor prognosis.

2. After PKD patients have some clinical symptoms, te average time that PKD developing into kidney failure is more than 10 years. But the specific time is different from case to case.

3. Adult polycystic kidney disease patients have the polycystic gene since they were born, and they will finally develop into kidney failure. But for some cases, they have no symptoms all their life long with the polycystic gene.

4. About 30% of the PKD patients will have polycystic liver, but the liver function is normal, and patients will have no symptoms. And about 2% PKD patients will have intracranial vascular malformation and brain aneurysm, which can easily cause intracranial hemorrhage.

How to prolong the live time for PKD patients?

From above we can know that the specific illness condition for PKD patient is different from case to case, so no one can tell the real time that one can live with PKD. But we can have certain treatment to prolong the life expectancy with PKD.

Since PKD patients have numerous kidney cysts on kidneys, and the kidneys will be gradually increased and get enlarged, which will oppress the surrounding kidney tissues and cause kidney damage. So PKD patients should have effective treatment to shrink the kidney cysts and improve the kidney function.

Here we recommend patients to take Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which can shrink the kidney cysts and repair the kidney damage, all these can help prolong the life expectancy.
