Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polycystic kidney disease (also called PKD) causes numerous cysts to grow in the kidneys. These cysts are filled with fluid. If too many cysts grow or if they get too big, the kidneys can become damaged. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polycystic kidney disease causes fluid-filled sacs called cysts to grow in the kidneys. The cysts can become large and cause scarring, which eventually harms the organs’ function. This disease is caused by a gene mutation, usually passed down by a parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your doctor might recommend a procedure using a needle to draw out cyst fluid and inject a medication (sclerosing agent) to shrink kidney cysts. Or you may need surgery to remove cysts if they’re large enough to cause pressure and pain.
