Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a kind of kidney disease in which multiple
cysts cover the kidneys. With the growth of cysts, they will oppress body organs
including kidneys so as to affect kidney function. Well then how do you know
suffer from PKD? The following six signals will tell you whether you have
PKD?
Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disease. According to genetic
characteristics, divided into autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) categories.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney common. ADPKD is autosomal dominant, which
is characterized as having familial aggregation, can the incidence of male and
female sexes equal opportunities for involvement, successive generations may
occur in patients. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, also known as
adult polycystic kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease is common. Due to the
deepening understanding of the disease, the prognosis is significantly improved.
ARPKD is autosomal recessive. Almost all parents equally no history. Autosomal
recessive polycystic kidney disease, also known as infantile polycystic kidney
disease, polycystic kidney disease in for a rare type. Chang died shortly after
birth, only a handful of lighter types, can survive to childhood and even
adults.
ADPKD symptoms common in adulthood. Cyst has existed at birth, grow up
gradually over time, or occur in adulthood and development has not been fully
elucidated. However, most patients with lesions in the fetal period may already
exist. The vast majority of renal abnormalities. Inconsistent on both sides of
severity. Its features are: whole kidney cysts filled with varying sizes, with
diameters ranging from just a few centimeters to be able to distinguish. Nipple
and cones often illegible. Renal pelvis significant deformation. Capsule with
liquid urine, bleeding or infection was different appearance. Cyst was
progressively older, related processes may be associated with cell
proliferation, cell secretory function of changes in the surrounding tissue and
cysts impaired. ARPKD cyst epithelial cells cultured with ADPKD not display the
same properties: ADPKD cyst fluid in endotoxin or Gram-negative bacteria, and no
ARPKD cyst fluid.
Six signal polycystic kidney appeared to be alert, there are the following:
A family member of someone suffering from polycystic kidney disease, kidney
cysts. Because how often accompanied by polycystic liver cyst, liver cyst,
splenic cysts, pancreatic cysts, brain aneurysm, abdominal aortic aneurysm,
diverticulitis and other gastrointestinal diseases, so when themselves or family
members were found to have the disease than those who should Special attention
polycystic kidney disease, renal cysts occur;
Second, people long polluted environment of life, or exposure to toxic
chemicals (including administration of nephrotoxic drugs) or radiation
person;
Third, the abnormal changes in emotions, especially over the long-term
depression or panic people;
Fourth, hematuria or mild proteinuria onset period (to be differentiated with
nephritis) persons;
Five, overwork, including excessive physical labor, excessive mental work and
lack of physical exercise or training methods, strength improper who were
excessive labor room, etc.;
Six, waist, abdominal discomfort and partial unexplained hypertension or
renal dysfunction, and so on.
If you have the above symptoms, you should see a doctor immediately to avoid
delaying your disease.
