Description:

Polycystic Kidney Disease is an inherited disease that causes cysts throughout the kidneys. Symptoms can include pain from the cysts and enlargement of the kidney. Cysts can take up alot of the kidney, replacing the normal kidney, and thus causing kidney failure. Some patients with polycystic kidney disease will need dialysis and kidney transplant. Dr. Brad Rovin, the Director of nephrology at Ohio State Medical Center, discusses polycystic kidney disease.

Polycystic kidney disease is common and genetic and was surprise to learn it runs in families. A friend is now undergoing dialysis and may need a kidney transplant. Please give more information.
