Polycystic kidneys...anyone had to deal?

mbuczkowski · January 7, 2017

So, my father's side of the family has a history of polycystic kidneys. This usually appears in the mid 30's. I have been tested and am almost 40, so I don't think it will affect me. However, since Protein consumption is not good for polycystic kidneys, has anyone dealt with this?

My fear is that post surgery, I might eventually get this and then I will have issues with Protein.< /p>

I had my abdominal ultrasound on Tuesday and was told that there is a small cyst on my left kidney, but that they are usually not concerned with cysts, if blood work and other tests are normal.

Did your doctor have any concerns over your Protein intake? It makes your kidneys work harder
