With the development of illness condition, various symptoms will appear on patients. Swelling hands are one of the common symptoms in PKD.

The causes of swelling hands for PKD patients
Swelling hands in PKD are associated with kidney damage and decline of renal function. Healthy kidneys can filter out wastes and extra fluid from the body to keep blood clean. However, for PKD patients, the cysts will increase ceaselessly in size and number if they don’t have a timely and effective treatment. What’s more, as more and more renal cysts appear, they will oppress kidney tissues and kidney inherent cells, resulting in kidney ischemia and anoxia. Once kidney tissues can not get enough oxygen and nutrients supply, the nephrons will become scarred, and there is a marked decline in kidney function. As PKD patients’ kidneys cannot work normally, high levels of fluid will build up in the body, resulting in fluid retention. That’s why swelling hands occur in PKD.
