First, I would like to explain that PKD is a hereditary disease and it is possible for us to stop it from appearing, but we can do something to delay its occurrence or control its development. Then how long a person with PKD can live on earth? Actually, it is difficult for us to tell the exact answer, because the survival time of a person with PKD has close relationship with the severity of their disease and their treatment. That is to say, if people with PKD receive effective treatment as early as possible, then it is quite possible for them to live a full life with PKD.
PKD is a genetic disease, so once you found one of your family members has this disease, and then you should go to do examination to find out whether you have this disease as well. Moreover, even if you are diagnosed with PKD, you should not be anxious and worried as some people with PKD may have no symptoms throughout their life. Thereby if you are also in this case, then it is not necessary for you to receive treatment. However, for some people with PKD, their cysts may enlarge at a very high speed and then run to end stage of renal failure. Under this circumstance, if people do not receive any treatment, they usually can not live a long time.
