Most patients can be asymptomatic if the cysts are small in the size, while kidney function will be affected along with enlargement of cysts on the kidneys. Then, symptoms like high blood pressure, swelling, back pain, or blood in urine will occur, decreasing life quality. Without timely treatments, patients will progresses into Kidney Failure which is one factor to lead to death for patients.
According to the survey, polycystic kidney disease in adults develops slowly and can live 50 years in average. After symptoms occur, they can live about 10 more years. More than 50% of them reaches to Kidney Failure when they are over 60 years old. However, the prognosis and life span are different from individual to individual. As a matter of fact, there are indeed some people who have lived with PKD without symptoms. In addition, dialysis or kidney transplantation also enable extra 3-5 years life time. Therefore, treatments play an very important role in protecting patients from death.
