Patient's question:
I have been suffering from polycystic kidney disease for over three years, but I haven't received any treatment and have only been taking medication. Last week, I felt that my condition had eased, and the doctor recommended a kidney biopsy. Will this procedure cure the disease, and will it still flare up?Doctor's answer:
Patients with polycystic kidney disease who undergo puncture need to determine the time of recurrence based on the patient's physical condition and the nature of the lesion. Some patients may experience recurrence after about half a year, while others may not show recurrence until a year later. For patients with this disease, if the cysts are small and there are no obvious symptoms, puncture treatment is not necessary. Regular follow-up examinations are sufficient.
