When patient’s kidney function is damaged gradually, there will be lots of metabolic wastes accumulating in patient’s body, which can cause them to have many health problems.

Urea is a metabolic waste of protein, and it should be filtrated out by kidney. But when PKD patients’ kidney function is damaged severely, patients will have high level urea in their body. While high urea can cause the shrinkage of sebaceous gland and sweat gland, which can cause patients to have dry skin. Dry skin can cause infection and it can also cause skin itching.
