Infection will cause extracellular fluid deposition, thus stretching capsule of kidneys and causing pain.

How does PKD patients’ pain feel like?

In the early stage of PKD, cysts do not cause pain. But when kidney cysts begin to oppress the kidney, it can cause dull pain or sharp pain. In addition, when the cysts enlarge to a certain size and rupture suddenly, or patients have urinary tract infection, patients will have a sudden sharp pain.
