If you are having symptoms of PKD or think that you may be at risk for the disease, talk to your doctor. For all types of PKD, doctors will use ultrasound, MRI or CT imaging to look at the cysts. Your doctor may also ask about a family history of PKD to determine your level of risk.
Genetic tests are available if ADPKD is suspected, but they may be of little use. There is no cure for PKD. A genetic test cannot tell when the disease will present or how severe it will be.
