Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic condition characterised by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. These fluid-filled cysts can lead to kidney enlargement and impair function, eventually causing kidney failure. PKD symptoms include high blood pressure, back pain, and blood in urine. Early diagnosis is crucial for managing polycystic kidney disease effectively.
