A member asked:
Hi my wife has polycystic kidney disease from her father, is there a way it's cured or removed? i know when she gets older shell be on dialysis but is there any other better option instead? can the cysts be removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are more than one such disorder but they entail hundreds of cysts formed within the kidney tissue. Any attempt at cyst removal traumatizes/scars good tissue along with the bad. With today's technology the eventual outcome is as you have mentioned.
