Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder where clusters of fluid-filled cysts form inside the kidneys.
~>These cysts enlarge over time, distorting the organ's shape and impairing its function — often leading to:
*Hypertension
*Chronic pain
*Hematuria
*Progressive kidney failure
This 3D animation shows the impact of PKD on kidney anatomy, including the ballooning of nephrons and progressive cyst growth.
