PKD progresses over time and kidney failure is finally caused when most of their kidney function is affected. They are at high risk for kidney cyst rupture when PKD is in kidney failure stage as at that time, the cysts in kidney are usually very large. Well, does this mean rupture of kidney cyst indicate kidney failure?

PKD is a genetic illness marked by lots of cysts in kidney. In early stage of PKD, cysts in kidney are less and small, no symptoms are caused at that time, and also the risk to have kidney cyst rupture is very low. However, as time goes by, cysts in kidney become large and large and also more and more cysts begin to appear. Large kidney cyst ruptures easily, so when PKD runs to kidney failure stage, cyst ruptures easily, but this does not mean PKD patients with rupture of kidney cyst must be in kidney failure stage.

Rupture of kidney cyst appears easily when PKD is in kidney failure stage. It is usually accompanied with severe back pain and blood urine which usually disappears within one week. Rupture of kidney cyst is not deadly, but if it is not managed well, patients will be in danger. Generally speaking, if cyst inside the kidney burst, no dangerous condition will be caused. However, if cyst growing in the outer part of the kidney bursts, cystic fluid may flow into enterocoelia, which may cause peritonitis. Under such a condition, PKD patients should go to doctor immediately for proper treatment. Besides, kidney infection is another condition that appears easily when kidney cyst ruptures. Antibiotics can be applied to deal with kidney infection in serious cases.

Lastly, although rupture of kidney cyst does not definitely mean kidney failure, it is necessary for PKD patients to prevent rupture of kidney cyst and the best preventive measure is to shrink kidney cysts in kidney.
