Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) should not be neglected and it will bring many complications. Well then, what are the symptoms of PKD?

Experts say that patients with PKD will have the following symptoms:

1. high blood pressure

In most cases, 50%-60% patients with PKD will have high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a sign of aggravation of PKD. It occurs after kidney function declines. High blood pressure in PKD is because external factors lead to enlarged kidney cysts so as to elevate the density of angiotensin, constrict blood vessels and elevate blood pressure. The relation between high blood pressure and kidney function damage is a vicious circle.

2. back and abdominal pain

Patients often have compression feeling on their back and abdomen. Sometimes the pain is sharp. The pain can be aggravated by activity, running and long time of sitting.

3. abnormal urine

Abnormal urine mainly refers to blood or protein in urine. Urine change is one of the early symptoms of PKD. Hematuria can be microscopic or gross hematuria. It is common to be seen in patients with enlarged kidneys and high blood pressure. Almost all PKD patients have proteinuria which can be mild and persistent. If urine is associated with urinary tract infection, there may be white blood cells.

4. kidney function decline

Patients with declined kidney function often have frequent urination at night.
