Polycystic kidney disease is an inherited condition where many fluid-filled cysts grow in the kidneys, gradually enlarging them and reducing function.
High blood pressure is common and needs early control. Kidney function can decline slowly over decades.
Care focuses on blood pressure control, treating infections and pain, and monitoring kidney function.
