Answers:
I have PKD!. I've known about it since I as 17, and I'm 47 now!. No one else in my family has it!. I have had a kidney transplant because my kidneys did get very large and full of cysts!. I had to have one of my old kidneys removed, and I was on dialysis for just over a year before my transplant!. About 60% of ppl with PKD end up with kidney failure, but it usually doesn't happen until you get to be my age or older!. If your daughter's pain is very low in her abdomen, it probably isn't from a kidney cyst!. Cyst pain is usually up higher-about elbow height-and more in the back than the abdomen, because that is where the kidneys rest!. Low pain on the right side might be appendicitis or perhaps she is passing kidney stones, but it also might be gas!. Has your dr sent you to a nephrologist (kidney doctor)!? If not, you should take your daughter to see one!. Keep in mind, though, that not all nephrologists know much about PKD!. It took me a long time to find one that would work with me!. The 2 websites below are great!. The first one is a MSN group!. Very supportive and kind ppl that will take you under their wing and answer any questions you have!. The second site is the PKD Foundations' homepage!. They have lots of information to read!. I hope that helps you out!. I want you to know that as far as chronic diseases go, PKD isn't as bad as a lot of them!. I have had some hard times, but I've had a great life so far!. I have a great husband, 2 great kids and a lot to look forward to!. May you and your daughter be blessed with the same!Www@Answer-Health@Com
