Patient's question:
I have been plagued by polycystic kidney disease for several years, with the condition fluctuating between good and bad. Now that I am older, I pay more attention to my physical health, as this disease has caused many changes in my diet. I wonder if people with polycystic kidney disease can live past 60?Doctor's answer:
This is generally not absolute. Polycystic kidney disease may lead to an increase in kidney function. However, the increase in kidney function is a gradual factor. Additionally, the impact of polycystic kidney disease on kidney function is also apparent. We should not be overly concerned about the interference with life. If there is kidney failure, dialysis or kidney transplantation is feasible. The specific lifespan is also related to individual care. Good care can extend the lifespan.
