• Heart Murmur

  If PKD affects the heart, the valves can become floppy, resulting in a heart murmur in some patients. What are the clues that someone has PKD? Most people do not develop symptoms until they are 30 to 40 years old. [kidney.org]

  A physical exam/test can reveal enlarged liver, heart murmurs and elevated blood pressure [3] Natural history [ edit ] Most cases progress to bilateral disease in adulthood. [10] Treatment [ edit ] Chr 11 FISH-mapped BACs from CGAP There is no FDA-approved [en.wikipedia.org]

• Palpitations

  As many as 1 in 4 adults with polycystic kidney disease develops mitral valve prolapse. When this happens, the valve no longer closes properly, which allows blood to leak backward. Colon problems. [mayoclinic.org]

  Later, anemia, metabolic acidosis and uremia reflect the progressive renal insufficiency. End-stage renal disease typically occurs in the third-fifth decade of life or even later. [orpha.net]

Standard workup includes Bosniak classification with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, these tests are costly and not without risks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Therefore, ultrasound is the very first diagnostic tool and will guide further diagnostic workup with additional imaging studies or genetic testing. [link.springer.com]

The presentation and workup in patients with renal cysts varies with the underlying disease. Treatment is aimed at symptom control. In general, therapy is reserved for pain, hypertension, infection, renal salt wasting, and nephrolithiasis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Unilateral renal cystic disease with an ipsilateral non-functional kidney and an atretic pelvicalyceal system is a very rare condition that needs to be distinguished from multicystic dysplastic kidney in order to guide management and set prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis is highly unpredictable due to an inability to quantify residual functional parenchyma. Treatment is surgical correction of any associated GU abnormalities and, if renal insufficiency or renal failure is present, renal replacement therapy . [msdmanuals.com]
