Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease is a disease of genetic origin in which multiple fluid-filled cysts form in the kidneys. Over time, these cysts can grow in size and affect kidney function.
Common symptoms:
- Pain in the back or the sides
- High blood pressure
- Blood in the urine or repeated urinary infections
Common causes: It is usually inherited, so it is common to find a history in other family members.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the doctor of reference for kidney follow-up, with support from the internist, from the urologist when there are complications, and from the pediatric nephrologist in children. If you have a family history or kidney-related problems, having it assessed by a professional helps take care of your kidney function.
