Hello!

Congenital polycystic kidney disease is not a very dangerous disease. Currently, this disease is only treated with support, drugs to slow the progression of renal cysts have not really proven to be effective and treatment is only considered when there are problems such as renal cyst hemorrhage, renal cyst infection by surgical intervention is very rare, about 1-5%.

Your condition requires regular monitoring every 6 months to assess the progression of the renal cysts and promptly detect any abnormal internal structures. In addition, it should be noted that congenital polycystic kidney disease, an autosomal dominant gene, accounts for about 5% of patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease.

Therefore, you need to monitor kidney function and proteinuria every year and possibly shorter if there are abnormalities to detect early and promptly treat complications of kidney failure.
