Health & Medical Question

A 6-year-old patient has been suffering from chronic urinary tract infections. The appearance of blood in their urine led to further testing that produced a diagnosis of PKD. The condition has nearly destroyed both kidneys. The patient, the parents, and twin sister, are all extremely concerned about the patients future.

1.What does PKD mean? What type of PKD does the patient have?

2.Was invasive testing necessary to determine the diagnosis? What tests are done?

3.What course is the disease expected to follow?

4.What will be the most likely outcome?

5.Several years have passed, the patient has been scheduled for a renal transplant. The patient is receiving a cadaver kidney because their twin sister has developed PKD. How will the kidney be preserved until it is reimplanted in the patients pelvis?
