Complications of PKD

Simple renal cyst may develop into malignancy cyst, but the morbidity is rather low. Actually, if being treated in time, Polycystic Kidney Disease can be controlled under a stable condition. There are many people refuse to have treatment when the cyst is small, and once they are hurt by the pain cause by cysts, they come to hospital and find the cyst already big enough and hard to be treated. So, for simple renal cyst, paying much attention to the disease condition does matter a lot. However, for PKD, with the growing of cysts, functional cells and tissues in kidney will be damaged, so we can say that PKD is much more serious because when the cells are damaged, there will be problems with kidney functions, and if no treatment, finally the disease may deteriorate into ESRD. Renal Failure caused by PKD is very common among those who are undergoing dialysis. And PKD does arouse many complications as follows.
1. Kidney stone and cyst calcification. For patients with PKD, when they feel painful in low back, especially when the pain become serious, and blood in urine can be seen by the naked eyes, it needs to be considered as kidney stone, and the sufferers had better take some related examinations to make sure the disease condition.
2. Cysts cancerization. It is still disputed whether renal cysts can lead to cancerization, but actually there really some people getting cancerization as an aftermath of renal cysts. When the patients have pain in renal region, regular hematuria, loss of weight, blood coagulation, and abnormal anemia, or the increase of blood cells, cancerization can be one accompanying disease they must pay close attention to. What they need to do is CT scan or some related examinations to detect the condition of cysts.
