Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a hereditary condition characterised by the proliferation of many fluid-filled cysts within the kidneys. As time goes on, these cysts get bigger, which makes the kidneys too big and stops them from working properly.

There are two primary types of PKD: autosomal dominant (ADPKD), which is commonly found in adults, and autosomal recessive (ARPKD), which is frequently found in babies or young children. The illness gets worse over time, and many people may eventually need dialysis or a kidney transplant. New treatments, such as the medication Tolvaptan, have shown promise in halting the disease's course. Managing the disease means keeping symptoms and complications like high blood pressure and infections under control, with the goal of keeping kidney function and postponing kidney failure. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a prevalent genetic cause of chronic kidney disease that affects millions of people around the world.
