Can kidney polysystic be cured?

Not yet: Right now we don't have the technology to stop the cyst formation and loss of kidney function. That is an area of active research and hopefully in the future we will have a safe cure.

It is a genetic one: Adpkd a genetic disease is the most common form of cystic kidney disease. Usually it is transmitted from father or mother to siblings. The number of cysts and their volume play a very important role in progression of kidney disease. While they can not be cured there are a lot of treatments modalities to slow their progression. Please refer to a nephrologist if you have this problem.
