Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), which can be divided into ARPKD and ADPKD,
is anHow Can the Progression of PKD Be Stopped
inherited disease that mainly affects kidneys, but it can also affect
liver, pancreas, arterial blood vessels, etc. About 50% of people develop
end-stage kidney disease and require dialysis or kidney transplantation.
For Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD), the diagnosis is
usually poor. Many infants and children with recessive PKD die from hapatic
fibrosis, which obstructs blood flow and causes bile buildup in the liver.
People with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) , who survive into their 20s, may
develop splenic, pancreatic, and vascular problems.Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD) Prognosis
For ADPKD-autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, the percentage of
normal renal function for patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is 71%
over age 50, 58% over age 58 and 23% over age 70.Ways to Slow Down the Progression of PKD
Great individual differences exist in polycystic kidney disease patients.
Some people live for many years without knowing they have Autosomal Recessive
Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD), , because of the slow, undetected progression
of it. But the prognosis of some Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients is
poor because of complications, the quickly developing cysts, etc. The main
reasons of death of polycystic kidney disease include kidney failure, cardiac
failure, intracranial hemorrhage and lung infection etc.PKD Prognosis , Life Expectancy,Life Span How Many Years Can PKD Patients Live Before Dialysis
If Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients detect cysts and treat cysts on
kidney early, the prognosis will be better. If one develop renal failure,
dialysis, kidney transplantation, micro-Chinese medicine can help you prolong
life greatly.
