3, high blood pressure or repeated urinary tract infections and other complications, also need attention.

4, kidney stones: Under normal circumstances, the polycystic kidney back pain is generally dull prompted concurrent kidney stones, cramps and accompanied by gross hematuria.

Cerebral arterial circle Angioma: Under normal circumstances, we need to know complicated by the vascular tumor by 10% to 40%, often due to vascular aneurysm, cerebral hemorrhage further examination was found. In addition, the thoracic aortic aneurysm and valvular heart disease (such as valvular regurgitation and prolapse) are more common. May be associated with portal hypertension and alveolar dysplasia in infantile polycystic kidney disease.

6, multiple cysts of other organs: experts say, middle age found in polycystic kidney disease patients, about half have polycystic liver disease after the age of 60, about 70%. Is generally believed that their development is slower, and more about polycystic kidney disease 10 years later. The cyst expansion is made by the lost bile duct.

A general treatment: most patients do not have to change their lifestyle and activity restriction. Right kidney was swollen, should pay attention to prevent abdominal injuries, and to avoid cyst rupture. When the patient is in renal failure and uremia
Should be treated accordingly principles
2, the cyst to the top decompression: this surgery to alleviate the oppression of the cysts of the renal parenchyma, and to protect the majority of the remaining renal unit from the extrusion and further damage, renal ischemic conditions have improved, some renal units have been restored , delayed development of the disease. The key to successful operation as early as possible to surgery, cyst decompression must be thorough, do not give up a small cyst and deep cyst decompression. Bilateral should be surgery, bilateral surgery time interval of more than six months. Advanced cases, such as existing renal dysfunction in azotemia, uremia, whether or not associated with high blood pressure, decompression therapy is no longer justified, the surgery to combat anti-may aggravate the condition.

The treatment of hematuria: hematuria, unless treated as soon as possible clear reasons should be reduced activity or bed rest. Dialysis or dialysis patients, such as recurrent severe and beyond the control of hematuria may consider the use of transcatheter renal artery embolization.
6, infection treatment: renal infection and cyst infection is the main complication of this disease, the general principle of combined antibiotics. 7, with upper urinary tract stones treatment: according to stone location and size of urinary tract stones principles of treatment.
8, treatment of hypertension: renal ischemia and renin - angiotensin - aldosterone system activation is the main reason of hypertension, antihypertensive drugs should so choose.
