POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE                                                                           2


                                    Polycystic Kidney Disease


         Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic kidney disorder inherited through family lines,

where the kidneys form many cysts making them bloated; this is due to the formation of many

cysts in the kidney. There are two types of the disorder which are the autosomal dominant and

the autosomal recessive. The autosomal dominant is usually developed at older years such as 30

– 40 but also occurs in children and is the most common; while the autosomal recessive is

developed in childhood years and can even start from the womb and is a rare condition

(Dakshinamurty, 2009).


Causes


         The Polycystic Kidney Disease is inherited from family with the autosomal dominant

trait being more prevalent. When one parent has the gene to this disorder then chances are that

the child has 50 percent chance to contract the disorder. This disorder is associated with aortic

and brain aneurysms, liver, testes, and pancreas cysts, and colon diverticula (Simons & Walz,

2006).


Symptoms


         The symptoms include pain in the abdomen and abdominal tenderness; blood in the

urine; too much urination at night, and flank pain on the abdominal parts (one or both sides).

Other symptoms include pain in the joints, drowsiness, and abnormalities on nails

(Dakshinamurty, 2009).


Signs and tests
POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE                                                                          3


       During examination there may be abdominal tenderness on the upper part of the liver,

which may also be enlarged. There also may be heart murmurs; growth of the kidneys and/or

abdomen; and high blood pressure (Dakshinamurty, 2009).


       The tests done on the patient include a complete blood count (CBC), urinalysis, and a

celebral angiography. Through scans on the body the swellings will be identified and hence

abdominal CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound and intravenous pyelogram (IVP) may be done. For

persons who identify the disease in other family members it is best to take a genetic test to

ascertain their health (Dakshinamurty, 2009).


Treatment


       In view of the fact that the disorder is genetic, treatment is aimed at control and

preventing further complications of the symptoms. For this reason, medication is taken to treat

the given ailments found out such as blood pressure drugs (high blood pressure) and antibiotics

(urinary bacterial infections). Also diuretics and low salt diets are encouraged (Dakshinamurty,

2009). When cysts are painful, bleed, or get infected they may be drained since they may be so

many to remove each of them. Surgical operations to remove the affected kidneys (transplant)

could be done or a scheduled dialysis of the patient.

Polycystic kidney disease

  • 2. POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE 2 Polycystic Kidney Disease Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic kidney disorder inherited through family lines, where the kidneys form many cysts making them bloated; this is due to the formation of many cysts in the kidney. There are two types of the disorder which are the autosomal dominant and the autosomal recessive. The autosomal dominant is usually developed at older years such as 30 – 40 but also occurs in children and is the most common; while the autosomal recessive is developed in childhood years and can even start from the womb and is a rare condition (Dakshinamurty, 2009). Causes The Polycystic Kidney Disease is inherited from family with the autosomal dominant trait being more prevalent. When one parent has the gene to this disorder then chances are that the child has 50 percent chance to contract the disorder. This disorder is associated with aortic and brain aneurysms, liver, testes, and pancreas cysts, and colon diverticula (Simons & Walz, 2006). Symptoms The symptoms include pain in the abdomen and abdominal tenderness; blood in the urine; too much urination at night, and flank pain on the abdominal parts (one or both sides). Other symptoms include pain in the joints, drowsiness, and abnormalities on nails (Dakshinamurty, 2009). Signs and tests
  • 3. POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE 3 During examination there may be abdominal tenderness on the upper part of the liver, which may also be enlarged. There also may be heart murmurs; growth of the kidneys and/or abdomen; and high blood pressure (Dakshinamurty, 2009). The tests done on the patient include a complete blood count (CBC), urinalysis, and a celebral angiography. Through scans on the body the swellings will be identified and hence abdominal CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound and intravenous pyelogram (IVP) may be done. For persons who identify the disease in other family members it is best to take a genetic test to ascertain their health (Dakshinamurty, 2009). Treatment In view of the fact that the disorder is genetic, treatment is aimed at control and preventing further complications of the symptoms. For this reason, medication is taken to treat the given ailments found out such as blood pressure drugs (high blood pressure) and antibiotics (urinary bacterial infections). Also diuretics and low salt diets are encouraged (Dakshinamurty, 2009). When cysts are painful, bleed, or get infected they may be drained since they may be so many to remove each of them. Surgical operations to remove the affected kidneys (transplant) could be done or a scheduled dialysis of the patient.
