Nowadays more and more people are diagnosed with kidney cysts, however most
people do not attach enough importance to it since it is such a common disease
and in most cases the cysts are benign.
However it is very important to first take related test to make clear weather
it is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) or not especially if there are multiple
cysts on bilateral kidneys. The prognosis of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is
not as good as simple renal cysts and it requires proper and timely
treatments.
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a hereditary kidney disorders and it is
characterized by numerous cysts on bilateral kidneys.
Prognosis of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
It can be subdivided into two types depending on its genetic mode---ARPKD and
ADPKD. The former is a recessive genetic kidney disease and it is rarer in
clinic and it mainly occurs to children. The prognosis of ARPKD is even worse
than ADPKD. About 50% of the children will die of respiratory failure or renal
failure within several hours or several days after birth. Those that can survive
to adulthood will suffer from spindle expansion of the renal collecting tube and
gradually develop into renal failure and at the same time is complicated with
expansion of the bile ducts and congenital hepatic fibrosis.
As for the prognosis of ADPKD, it is much better compared with ARPKD. ADPKD
is one of the most common single genetic kidney diseases and most patients will
have symptoms from 30 to 50 years old.
There are many factors that can affect the prognosis of ADPKD as well as the
patients’ life expectancy (life expectancy of Polycystic Kidney
Disease)including genotype, gender, age, time of the first attack, hypertension,
hematuria, proteinuria, urinary tract infections, the sizes of the kidney and
the cysts, pregnancy and hormones, etc. There are about 50% of the patients will
develop into end stage renal failure between 57 to 73 years old. There are some
risk factors that can speed up the progression of the disease. These factors are
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) 1 gene mutation, male, have symptoms before 30,
have the first hematuria before 30 and have hypertension before 35. The main
cause of death of ADPKD is cardiovascular complications followed by
infections.
