Patient's question:
I was born with polycystic kidney disease in my early life. The village doctor said I wouldn't live to be very old, and eventually it would lead to uremia. Now I've also developed high blood pressure. What should I do? Am I really going to die soon? Is there a better way to treat this disease? Please give me an answer. I am 28 years old and have bilateral polycystic kidney disease with concurrent hypertension. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of polycystic kidney disease, especially when it is bilateral, have a poor prognosis. Currently, the treatment for such conditions is best managed through symptomatic treatment. If blood pressure is high, antihypertensive medications can be used for treatment. If there are symptoms of kidney dysfunction, it is necessary to take timely action to prevent further deterioration, which could lead to a recurrence of uremia. Active cooperation in treatment is essential.
