Polycystic kidney disease (PKD or PCKD, also known as polycystic kidney syndrome) is a genetic disorder in which abnormal cysts develop and grow in the kidneys. Cystic disorders can express themselves at any point, infancy, childhood, or adulthood.The disease occurs in humans and some other animals.PKD is characterized by the presence of multiple cysts (hence, polycystic) typically in both kidneys; however, 17% of cases initially present with observable disease in one kidney, with most cases progressing to bilateral disease in adulthood.he disease occurs in humans and some other animals.

The cell biology of polycystic kidney disease. Chapin HC, Caplan MJ. Polycystic kidney disease is a common genetic disorder in which fluid-filled cysts displace normal renal tubules.he mechanisms that connect the underlying genetic defects to disease pathogenesis are poorly understood, but their exploration is shedding new light on interesting cell biological processes and suggesting novel therapeutic targets.
