Cystic Kidney Disease Care

Cystic Kidney Disease refers to the development of fluid-filled sacs (cysts) on the kidneys. These cysts can sometimes be harmless and related to the natural aging process, but in other cases, they may be associated with more serious conditions such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD), an inherited disorder that can significantly affect kidney function.

At Carolina Nephrology, PA, we diagnose, monitor, and manage both benign cystic kidney disease and polycystic kidney disease, providing expert care tailored to each patient’s needs.

The symptoms of AKI can vary greatly depending on the severity of the injury. Some patients may experience no noticeable symptoms, while others may develop signs of complete kidney failure. Common signs include reduced urine output, swelling in the legs or ankles, fatigue, confusion, or chest pain.

For decades, our nephrologists have cared for multiple generations of families affected by inherited cystic diseases, such as PKD. We understand the importance of long-term management and family-centered care, and we are committed to guiding patients and their loved ones through every stage of this condition.

In some cases, kidney cysts require further evaluation or surgical management. When appropriate, Carolina Nephrology, PA, works closely with trusted urologists to provide comprehensive diagnostic testing and treatment, ensuring patients receive the highest standard of coordinated care.

Whether you are dealing with a single benign kidney cyst or managing the complexities of polycystic kidney disease, the team at Carolina Nephrology, PA, is here to provide expert guidance, compassionate care, and long-term support for you and your family.
