Manifestations of polycystic kidney disease

summary

Some time ago, my grandfather often felt pain in his waist, sometimes for a while, sometimes for a long time, sometimes with bleeding urine. In addition, I always feel dizzy and nauseous. To the hospital examination, found out polycystic kidney. For patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible, I will tell you about the performance of polycystic kidney.

Manifestations of polycystic kidney disease

First, hypertension is one of the most common early manifestations of polycystic kidney disease, which is seen in 30% of children, 60% of patients with renal insufficiency, and up to 80% of ESRD patients. The level of blood pressure is directly proportional to the size of the kidney and the number of cysts, and increases with age. Hypertension is one of the risk factors for the deterioration of renal function.

Second, chronic renal failure is the main cause of death in polycystic kidney disease. The age of onset ranged from 2 to 80 years old. 50% of patients over 60 years old entered ESRD stage. Once the GFR is lower than 50ml / min, the decline rate is about 5.0-6.4ml/min per year. The time from renal dysfunction to ESRD is about 10 years, and there is a large individual difference. The early impairment of renal function is the decrease of renal function. The maximum urine osmolality of adult polycystic kidney patients with normal renal function was 16% lower than that of normal family members, and gradually decreased with age.

Third: anemia does not develop to polycystic kidney disease patients usually do not have anemia. Patients with persistent hematuria may have mild anemia. When the course of disease progressed to ESRD stage, anemia appeared later and milder in patients with polycystic kidney disease than in patients with renal failure caused by other causes.
