There are usually the following several symptoms before people get Polycystic Kidney Disease. In our daily life we should pay more attention to ourselves, and if these symptoms appear in us, we should go to hospital to do examination, so as to receive treatment as soon as possible.
★ Anemia: For most of the patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, they will experience the process from mild anemia to serious anemia and meanwhile, this process is usually accompanied with nocturia. The appearance of this process has great affinity for the decrease of renal function and erythropoietin which is produced by kidneys.
★ Lump in Abdomen: Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease can feel the different size of lumps in midsection when kidneys enlarge to a certain degree. These lumps can move with the breath and when these lumps cause infections, patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease will feel pain in their belly. About fifty percent to eighty percent of patients have bilateral pumps and fifteen percent to thirty percent of patients can feel unilateral lumps.
★ High blood pressure: High blood pressure is one of the common symptoms for patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, and usually fifty percent to sixty percent of patients have this symptom. High blood pressure usually is prior to the decrease of renal function and is accompanied with headache and dizziness. Blood pressure has a close relationship with type Ⅱ angiotension which is aimed at shrinking blood vessels. When renal function is damaged, renin in our body increase, which will promote the generation of type Ⅱangiotension, leading to the increase of blood pressure.
★ discomfort of waist and belly: Usually, discomfort of waist and belly appears in the early stage of Polycystic Kidney Disease. It mainly manifest with dull pain of back and sometimes severe pain.
★ Abnormal Urine: As the major symptoms, proteinuria or hematuria is one of the early symptoms and usually, proteinuria is the most frequent one. The appearance of proteinuria has a close relationship with glomerular barrier function. Gross hematuria is the major factor for patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease to realize that they should do an examination. Due to the constant increase of cysts, cysts oppress each other, causing fracture of cysts and renal bleeding. Consequently, gross hematuria appears. In addition, in the early stage, mild frequent micturition, urgent urination and diuresis may appear among patients.
