should I be checked every time I have discomfort from my Polycystic kidney?

Answer 1

The severity of this condition and the appropriate response varies for different people. Some people need frequent monitoring and other people might only need check ups once a year. It would probably be a good idea to ask your doc to list the things you need to monitor, and when you need to seek medical treatment. The things you definitely have to watch out for are proteins or blood in your urine, bloating, and high blood pressure. Certain pains may be expected to be a normal occurrence for your particular condition, so you need to find out if there is any specific type of pain that needs to be followed up with a doctor visit. I would make an appointment with the doc this round, and find out everything i needed to make the right decision in the future.
