How Many Years Can I Live With PKD

How many years can you live with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)? Simply speaking from digital, it may be 5 years, 10 years or 20 years. There is no exact figure for life span of PKD. It mainly depends on the treatment plan and therapies. As for PKD patients, PKD is a genetic kidney disease. The genetic risk of this disease is 50% and this disease is often accompanied by polycystic liver and polycystic spleen.
With long time of cysts, the most common results have:
1 cyst did not rupture, but will increase the presence of cysts renal ischemia and hypoxia, due to compensatory kidney function is very powerful, symptoms may temporarily appear, but once an exception occurs, the progress will be very rapid, abnormal renal function.
2 cysts increases, wall thinning, by external mechanical shock, or other factors that affect very easy to break into the abdominal cavity causing acute abdomen.
Second, polycystic kidney disease prognosis:
Polycystic kidney function in patients with normal rate of 71% at 50 years old, 58 years old was 58%, at the age of 70 to 23 percent. Men with poor prognosis, early onset of poor prognosis. Affect the other can be artificially controlled prognostic factors are high blood pressure, number of pregnancies, urinary tract infection secondary to the frequency of urinary tract infections, etc. After dialysis and kidney transplantation did not enter the age of the onset of symptoms in patients, especially those with renal insufficiency, can only survive for 10 years, about every three years a fold rise in serum creatinine, creatinine clearance rate half that, but if the blood elevated creatinine never before, and no stones, infections and severe hypertension, can survive 30 to 40 years. Polycystic kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant patient, whose life basically similar to other dialysis and kidney transplant patients.

Therefore, if you with PKD want to achieve a good prognosis, not only effective treatment should be adopted they also need early treatment. Early detection of cysts, early treatment of polycystic kidney disease.
