Q:

I am a 48 years old female with PKD. I have recently noticed small bumps under the skin all over my stomache. Is this related?

A:

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of kidney disorder marked by different sizes of cyst in kidney. These cysts are filled with yellow fluid and enlarge over time. When PKD develops to a certain stage, kidney growth occurs and also we can feel hard bumps under our stomach if we touch with hands. Therefore, I sorry I have to say the small bumps under you stomach might be your cysts in kidney.

In terms of your case, you can have a CT scan to see whether your kidneys have enlarged due to increased kidney cyst. If you unfortunately have enlarged kidney, I am afraid you need to receive medical treatment to shrink the cysts. Otherwise, you kidneys continue to enlarge and finally take up the whole enterocoelia. Besides, enlarged kidney rupture easily and it may ruptures just because of slight knock on the location of kidney. Seeing from this point, you need to pay much more attention in your daily life so as to protect your kidney cyst from rupturing.

Big cyst can be cut off through surgery, but I do not recommend you to do surgery because surgery is only helpful for big cyst growing in the out part of kidney. Also, even if your big cyst is cut off by surgery, small cysts become large quickly within a short time because of enough growing space. Therefore, surgery is not the long-term solution for you at all.

In your case, you must receive the treatment which can treat all the cysts at the same time. As long as these cysts are shrunk, bumps under your stomach disappear. At present, only Chinese medicine can treat all the cysts together, so you can look at it.
