Various factors can hinder this process, causing fluid retention, toxins to build up and chronic diseases in the kidneys that become life threatening. However, for PKD patients, their kidney normal structures and tissues has been damaged by the different sizes of renal cysts. A genetic disorder known as polycystic kidney disease causes multiple cysts to grow in the kidneys. Due to the enlarged cysts, filtering units named glomeruli can be damaged easily. Once it occurs, useful substances like proteins will leak into urine. In this condition, the plasma colloid osmotic pressure will be reduced, and large amounts of water can permeate into interstitial space, causing edema.

In addition, when the filtering units are damaged by enlarged cysts, kidney can not discharge extra water from the body effectively. Then, water will build up in the body which contributes to leading to swollen kidneys.
