How Likely Am I to Get the Condition??
Posted: 10-04-07 03:26am

I dont know how to spell it but
'Pripostik kidneys'
Say it out loud is my advice Smile(im stupid lol)
My Granfather died from this(they didnt notice the problem so it went on for ages).
Both my Auntie and Uncle have had kidney transplants because of this and my Cousin has been told she has the same problem..
It seams to me like its jumped into everyones family aprt from my mothers,so how likely is it to jump a generation??

I've been having really bad back ache (internal though),dead where my kidneys are,maybe im just paranoid because of family history but its still a reason to be concerned,right?

Any help would be great,thanks! Smile

Do you mean polycystic? I don't have much experience with that. Have you seen a urologist? With your family history it wouldn't hurt getting checked. Good luck and let us know.
