I am 21, female. My first cousin was just diagnosed with polycystic Kidney disease. My parents passed away at age 40 of other causes, didn't seem to have any kidney issues. Could I still potentially have polycystic kidney disease if my blood and urine tests are normal? Sometimes I think I feel pain only on my right lower back, is this also strong evidence for something? Could I possibly have another kidney problem that is not PKD? How accurate will an Ultrasound be to tell my kidney health? Is a kidney transplant the only ultimate solution? Should I be worried at this point?

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited disorder in which clusters of cysts. Ultrasound is more or less accurate. U can repeat this from some reputed lab. If there is something you will know it on time. Don?t worry.

You do not have to worry at this point of time if your ultrasound reports and kidney function tests are normal. PKD is a congenital condition which can transmit from one generation to next genetically. Ultrasound is usually very sensitive in picking up the condition. Still if you are apprehensive visit a nephrologist who should be able to guide you further.
