Q:

I have PKD and now 39 years old, the largest cyst in kidney is 68mm, I want to know are sports allowed for my condition?

A:

In general, most sports do not affect kidney function. However, for people with PKD, there are some issues that need to be addressed with regard to the type of exercise regimen chosen. Polycytic Kidney Disease(PKD) where kidneys arE enlarged and cysts can easily rupture, there are some simple precautions to take.

Certain sports wherein the kidneys may be traumatized (flank or lower-back impact) should either be avoided or protective pads should be worn. Examples of these types of sports include football, rugby, basketball and particularly boxing or kickboxing. Horseback riding and cross-country biking are other sports where repetitive impact may induce hematuria or blood in the urine, in individuals with PKD.
