Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Could you please tell me how to treat polycystic kidney disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to your description of the issue, polycystic kidney disease is an inherited condition. If you currently do not have any other special discomforts, such as obvious back pain or hematuria, there is no need to worry about it for now. If the cysts are relatively large, timely extraction of cyst fluid or cyst removal surgery may be necessary. Regularly undergo intermittent follow-up with color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system to monitor changes in kidney function. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
