Will A Person Feel Tired with Polycystic Kidneys

“Will a person feel tired with polycystic kidneys?” When diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), you may be concerned about the prognosis. Indeed there will be a lot of symptoms with the development of PKD.

Your fatigue may be associated with anemia.

Because these cysts grow with time going, they will affect kidneys to secrete erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates bone marrows to make red blood cells. Red blood cells transport oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. When the amount of red blood cells declines, muscles can not get enough oxygen so that you get tired easily.

It may be associated with poor nutrient intake.

With PKD, you are always required to follow a restricted diet, for example, low protein diet. But sometimes people mistake it to avoid protein intake. This may make them suffer from malnutrition. And then you often feel tired.

Physical inactivity may add insult to injury.

In order to protect the cysts from burst, PKD patients are asked to avoid strenuous exercise. But it does not mean you can not do exercise. Physical inactivity will make the muscles lose strength so that you feel week.

There may be other causes of your fatigue, such as poor sleeping quality, side effects of medicine, etc.
