experiences with ruptured kidney cyst and polycystic kidney disease
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.

2 ReactionsIf 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.
