summary

My cousin is a patient with polycystic kidney disease. Every day he says that he has backache and backache. After checking in the hospital, he knows it's this kind of disease. The doctor says that we should prepare for the operation and tell you what the symptoms of polycystic kidney disease are!

What symptom does polycystic kidney have

Symptom 1: renal cyst: many symptoms of ADPKD patients are closely related to the development of renal cyst. There were multiple fluid cysts in the cortex and medulla of the kidney, ranging in diameter from several millimeters to several centimeters. The size and number of cysts increased gradually with the progression of the disease. Male patients with renal cyst enlargement is higher than female patients, polycystic kidney patients generally have this symptom.

Symptom 2: pain: back or costal abdominal pain is the most common symptom of ADPKD patients. With the increase of age and cyst, the symptoms became more obvious, especially in women. Acute pain or sudden exacerbation of pain often indicates rupture of cyst, bleeding, urinary tract obstruction caused by stone or blood clot, and concurrent infection. Chronic pain is usually caused by enlarged kidney or cyst, pulling renal capsule and renal pedicle, and compressing adjacent organs.

Symptom 3: hypertension: is one of the most common early manifestations of ADPKD patients. In young ADPKD patients with normal renal function, 50% of them have blood pressure higher than 140 / 90mmHg, while almost 100% of them have hypertension. Blood pressure is proportional to the size of the kidney and the number of cysts, and increases with age.

matters needing attention

Early renal function damage is often manifested as the decline of renal concentration function. Most patients can maintain normal renal function in the 40-60 years of cyst growth. Polycystic kidney patients should pay attention to that they can't eat spicy food, salty food and pickled food.
