आरोग्यम् परमं भाग्यं स्वास्थ्यं सर्वार्थ साधनम्। सर्वारोग्य प्रदातारं नमामि दिव्य वैद्यनुत्।।
व्यायामात् लभते स्वास्थ्यं दीर्घायुष्यं बलं सुखं। आरोग्यं परमं भाग्यं स्वास्थ्यं सर्वार्थसाधनम्॥
पुनर्वित्तं पुनर्मित्रं पुनर्भार्या पुनर्मही। एतत्सर्वं पुनर्लभ्यं न शरीरं पुनः पुनः।।
भोजनाग्रे सदा पथ्यं लवणाद्रकभक्षणम्। अग्निसन्दीपनम् रूच्यं जिह्वाकण्ठविशोधनं।।
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a hereditary illness that develops inside the kidneys. In general, it is classified as a fluid-filled cyst (bubbles). Polycystic kidney disease is a significant cause of renal disease and can lead to kidney failure.
People with PKD may develop cysts in other regions of their bodies, such as "the liver," and experience additional difficulties. Because it is a hazardous illness that can cause major kidney damage if not addressed quickly.
Polycystic disease is a natural illness that most people dismiss. Another key factor is because many are unaware of the signs of PKD, which shares symptoms with other disorders. However, people must understand that a simple test can determine whether or not cysts are present inside your kidneys. Later in this post, we will address the proper therapy and diagnostic methods, but first, we will look at the following PKD symptoms.
It is an inherited condition, as stated before in the introduction. As a result, most people, particularly children, inherit this disease from their parents. In rare circumstances, children develop this condition due to "gene mutation" without the involvement of their parents.
PKD is classified into three categories.
Adult PKD is another name for it. According to the National Kidney Foundation, ADPKD is detected in about 90% of instances. It is also known as an inherited disorder, and if a parent has PKD, the inherited individual has a 50% chance of having the ailment.
This condition is similar to ADPKD, however it is less frequent. Both parents must have the gene for this condition to arise. It is less prevalent because there is a 50-50 probability; if ARPKD carriers have the gene from only one parent, the disease will not manifest in the body.
Types of ARPKD:
ACKD, or Acquired cystic kidney disease, develops later in life in persons who have renal failure or are on dialysis. Furthermore, because ACKD is an acquired illness, carriers do not inherit it from their parents.
In the case of ADPKD and ARPKD, your doctor will inquire about your family history and previous disorders. Following that, blood tests will be done to look for signs of illness, germs, or protein in the urine.
To diagnose PKD, the following imaging studies are used:
