Fatigue is always described as weakness and tiredness in some PKD cases. It is a subjective feeling and can be triggered by many conditions in PKD. The followings are the several contributing factors:

-Medicine

PKD is incurable and to slow down or stop illness progression, many medicines are prescribed to PKD patients. These oral medicines are helpful, but always cause side effects if used for a long time. Fatigue may appear as a side effect of a certain medicine.

-Bad rest at night

PKD patients run higher risk for many physical discomforts like back pain, skin itching, hard breath and even insomnia. All of these may affect their night sleep and make them feel tired in day time.

In PKD, many factors can contribute to fatigue, so we must have overall measures, so as to avoid every possible causes for fatigue. To achieve this medical goal, a kidney-friendly diet, tight control of symptoms of PKD, regular bed time and effective treatment for damaged kidney are all needed. Currently, PKD is treated by treating symptoms like high blood pressure and proteinuria. This is very helpful and necessary, but it is not the all we can do. To have the best treatment effects and the most satisfying result, we also need to shrink kidney cysts and increase kidney function.
