Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. A friend of mine has polycystic kidney disease with edema, but it was just diagnosed, so the duration of the illness isn't long. As a result, he doesn't know how to treat it. He wants to ask the experts how to treat polycystic kidney disease with edema?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic kidney disease may be an inherited disease across generations, which can cause pain and discomfort in the renal area, high blood pressure, and may also involve large kidney cysts that compress normal kidney tissue, affecting kidney function. This can lead to the inability to properly excrete body fluids, resulting in edema in the body's flexural areas. When kidney cysts are large, it is important to seek timely treatment to prevent leg edema from occurring again. I don't know which part of the body you are referring to as swollen. It is essential to see a doctor promptly to find a solution for treatment.
