Patient's question:
Do you know how long the lifespan of patients with polycystic kidney disease is generally? The older I get, the more afraid I am of life and death. I have always had the problem of polycystic kidney disease, but recently, I don't know why my heart is particularly anxious. I'm very afraid of dying from this disease. Am I overly cautious?Doctor's answer:
There is no specific medical treatment for kidney cysts yet. Generally, if kidney cysts show no symptoms, no treatment is required, only periodic follow-up examinations to monitor how the cysts grow. If it is found that the cysts have significantly decreased, attention should be paid to the treatment of kidney cysts as soon as possible. If kidney cysts grow rapidly, they can control the normal kidney tissue. There are many treatments for kidney cysts, including puncture and aggressive treatment.
