Hi Maphobe,

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis but don’t worry too much, PKD is normally not a fast progressing disease, and you might be able to live a very normal life for a long time.

Speak to your doctor about what you can do to take care of your kidneys (drink water, avoid salt etc) and have regular check-ups.

Good luck
