A member asked:

What's the best weight loss system for people with polycystic kidney disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wt loss: The best weight loss program is always diet and exercise. Avoiding contact sports is important (as cysts can rupture). But most physical exercise is ok. Watching fatty foods, calories and cholesterol is very important.
