PKD is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease and patients usually have a family history. And its incidence rate is 50% and the abnormal gene can be passed from generation to generation. With the enlargement of cysts, patient's kidney will become big so your belly will enlarge correspondingly. Patients usually have some common symptoms like high blood pressure, inconsistant hematuria, back pain, fatigue and so on.
Actually, the most dangerous factor for PKD is that the enlarged cyst can press normal renal tissue, thus causing ischemia and anoxia in kidneys. Kidneys fail to work gradually. There is no effective treatment which can remove genetic disease at present. But that is not to say we can do nothing about this disease. Cllinical experience shows that as long as we can control the enlargement of cysts, renal function can be protected and patient can lead a normal life in that case.
