experiences with ruptured kidney cyst and polycystic kidney disease

Posted by petr @petr, Jul 1 10:31am

6 months ago a cyst on my left kidney ruptured. I had extensive bleeding and my hemoglobin was quite low. I was hospitalized for a week and had tranfusions. Gradually my hemoglobin has returned to normal and the hematoma has gradually been reabsorbed (if thats the correct term). Now of course, I worry about more cysts rupturing. I am 76 years old and my PCP now says I have polycystic kidney disease.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Kidney & Bladder Support Group.

If you go to the official website for polycystic kidney disease Foundation- pkdcure.org. you will find many will experiences with kidney cyst bursts. I have never had one. The experience is under the heading Kidney Cysts Saga.
Hope this proves helpful to you. You must speak with your nephrologist about this.

Rather, it is called “The Cyst Bleed Saga”.
