What Are Symptoms of Kidney Cyst


Kidney cysts begin appearing on a person's kidney due to the onset of a disease called Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Before we go on to discuss the main kidney cyst symptoms we will first look at what Polycystic Kidney Disease is and who is affected. Polycystic Kidney Disease is primarily an inherited condition, although as we will see this is not always the case. The most common form is known as autosomal dominant PKD. 90% of people with PKD are autosomal dominant. In this form, the person only needs to inherit the abnormal gene from the one of their parents that are affected, giving them a 1 in 2 chance of developing PKD.
Kidney cyst symptoms for the autosomal form will generally start to appear in the sufferer during mid life. However, the afflicted person may not start to experience the symptoms for several years after the cysts have begun to develop. The typical symptoms of kidney cyst problems include:
- Headaches
- Urinary tract infections
- Pain and aches, and sometimes sudden and harsh pain in the abdomen and lower back
- Blood appearing amongst urine
Unfortunately, there is no cure for kidney cyst symptoms so affected people can only take measures to try and relieve the pain and lengthen their lives. If you begin to experience any of the symptoms described above, it is of course strongly advisable to book an appointment with your doctor immediately.
