Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of Chronic Kidney Disease which progresses slowly. and patients don’t have any symptom in the early stage. Then, as PKD renal cysts become larger and larger, they will firstly damage renal tubular epithelial cells, which are responsible for regulating blood pressure. Therefore, high blood pressure usually occurs as the first symptom of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Finally, about 50% of PKD patients have kidney failure by age 60.

Life expectancy for patients with PKD.

To be frank, it is complicated to answer, because in addition to PKD itself, patients’ diet plan, lifestyle, control of complications and treatment plans also affect their life expectancy. In clinic, some PKD patients only live to 30 years old, while some other patients even live to about 90 years old. Therefore, I believe it is more significant to know how to prolong your life span than struggling with the answer to this question.
