At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, we know how overwhelming it can be to hear a diagnosis of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).

Our expert nephrologists in Andheri West specialize in managing inherited kidney cyst disease, including both autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). With a patient-first approach, advanced diagnostic tools, and personalized care, we help patients manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.

What is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic kidney disorder where fluid-filled sacs called cysts form inside the kidneys. Over time, these cysts multiply and enlarge, leading to:
- Kidney enlargement
- Decline in kidney function
- Risk of progressing to CKD caused by PKD or ESRD
Types of PKD include:
- Autosomal Dominant PKD (ADPKD): Most common, symptoms often appear between ages 30–50.
- Autosomal Recessive PKD (ARPKD): Rare, typically diagnosed in infants or children.
PKD is different from simple kidney cysts. Unlike single harmless cysts, PKD cysts are multiple, progressive, and genetic.
Symptoms
Patients with PKD symptoms and diagnosis may experience:
- Pain or heaviness in the abdomen or back (kidney pain and swelling)
- High blood pressure in PKD
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Kidney stones
- Enlarged kidneys felt during physical exam
As the disease progresses, it may cause fatigue, loss of appetite, and swelling due to kidney function decline.
Conditions Associated with PKD
PKD can lead to several complications, including:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) caused by PKD
- End-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to PKD requiring dialysis or kidney transplant
- Complications of PKD such as:
- Liver cysts
- Brain aneurysms
- Heart valve abnormalities
- Diverticulosis in the intestines
- Increased risk of kidney failure over time
Causes and Risk Factors
The main cause of PKD is genetic mutation. It is passed down through families:
- ADPKD: Each child of an affected parent has a 50% chance of inheriting the condition.
- ARPKD: Both parents must carry the gene for the child to be affected.
Other risk factors include:
- Family history of kidney disease
- High blood pressure accelerating kidney damage
- Recurrent kidney infections
Diagnosis of Polycystic Kidney Disease
At Curis Life, our expert nephrologists in Andheri West use advanced tests to diagnose PKD early and accurately:
- Imaging tests for kidney cysts: Ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI
- Genetic testing for PKD to confirm inherited mutations
- Blood and urine tests to monitor kidney function
- Screening family members for early detection
Early diagnosis helps in slowing progression and managing complications effectively.

- Blood pressure control to reduce kidney damage
- Medications to manage pain and slow cyst growth
