A member asked:
Should all people who have polycistic kidney disease be screened for a brain aneurysm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Smoking for three years would not in itself be a reason to screen for brain aneurysm. You also asked if all people with poly-cystic kidney should be screened for brain aneurysm and that would be a reasonable cause for screening.
