There is no cure for pkd, however, regular monitoring of kidney and
treatments for associated complications can help maintain health and prolonged
the life of a person.
Common complications and treatments include:
Trauma - consider avoiding contact sports if your kidneys, liver, spleen or
abdomen are enlarged. A blow to the stomach could hurt affected organs.
Liver cysts - these do not affect the normal liver function. Non-surgical
management may include avoiding hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as
hormone therapy (HT). Surgery may be necessary to drain the cyst or remove
diseased parts of the liver, it is rarely for a liver transplant.
Renal failure - this is treated by dialysis, which is a process for removing
waste products and additional water from the body by filtering the blood through
a special membrane. A kidney transplant is another treatment option. PKD does
not redevelop in the transplanted kidney.
Urinaires- infection symptoms can include frequency of urination, painful
urination and fever. Consult your doctor immediately about treatment with
antibiotics. Untreated urinary tract infection can spread to the kidneys.
