How long can we live with Polycystic Kidney Disease? If you pose this
question to
a kidney disease doctor or even a kidney disease expert, I am sure
you can not get a clear answer because the life expectancy of Polycystic Kidney
Disease patients can be affected by so many factors.
Firstly, the life expectancy of Polycystic Kidney Disease can be affected by
patient's diet. With Polycystic Kidney Disease, we usually are told to be far
away from salty foods, high protein foods, high potassium foods and alcohols. If
we can follow these principles, we are properly to live a longer life, but if we
do not, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) runs to kidney failure quickly which can
derive our life more easily.

Secondly, treatment is also a factor which can affect the life expectancy of
Polycystic Kidney Disease. Effective treatment brings Polycystic Kidney Disease
(PKD) under control and this is extremely important for preventing kidney
failure and life-threatening complications.
Chance of Survival and Life Expectancy of Polycystic Kidney Disease
Thirdly, life style also should be blame for the expectancy of Polycystic
Kidney Disease. Polycystic Kidney Disease appears under the common effects of
external living environment and internal gene. Polycystic Kidney Disease is a
hereditary disease and almost all the people think they will certainly suffering
from this disease if they are born with PKD gene. Actually, this is a totally
wrong idea. Not everyone with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) gene will
eventually get Polycystic Kidney. In some rare cases, people with Polycystic
Kidney Disease (PKD) gene can live as longer as a normal person without
Polycystic Kidney Disease. Therefore, as long as we believe, we have chance to
be free from PKD, even if we are born with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
gene.

Fourthly, life expectancy of Polycystic Kidney Disease also can be changed by
serious symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). We know Polycystic Kidney
Disease (PKD) always present us some abnormal symptoms such as proteinurina,
blood urine and high blood pressure. As for these symptoms, if we do not control
them effectively, they accelerate the progression of PKD, which may make us lose
our life earlier. However, if we bring these symptoms under control, PKD can
thus be stopped and we have great chance to live a longer life.
