Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic condition causing fluid-filled cysts to grow in the kidneys, potentially impairing their function over time. Symptoms may include back pain, headaches, or blood in the urine. Management focuses on slowing progression through careful blood pressure control, adequate hydration, and healthy lifestyle choices to protect kidney health.
