What Is Polycystic Kidney Disease

Symptoms

Many people with polycystic kidney disease do not show any symptoms for a long period. Some health issues only occur when cysts start developing and becoming bigger. The list of possible symptoms includes kidney stones, urinary tract infection, painful urination, frequent urination, bloody urine, abdominal tenderness or pain, joint pain, exhaustion, or pale skin. When autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease happens in kids, there might be some typical signs, such as frequent urination, urinary tract infection, or high blood pressure. Since these problems would be found in many other conditions, it is necessary to seek medical support to ensure a precise diagnosis.[3]
