3. Polycystic Kidney Disease
Cysts are a fairly common phenomena and many people will have had at least one in their lifetime. Cysts are nothing more than sacs of fluid and they are usually quite harmless. Depending on their location, cysts can usually just be burst or removed in some other way if necessary.
Cysts will also sometimes develop on the kidneys and this is not usually a problem. Polycystic kidney disease, however, is a condition where multiple cysts will develop on the kidneys and this can begin to affect the kidney’s ability to function. It can lead to chronic kidney disease in some cases, and that can cause uremia in some people.
