I am a 51 yr. old african american female, 53 weigh 135lbs. and have been diagnosed with PKD. I have been on medications for more than 20 years to control blood pressure (not very well). However,  since finding the fluid-filled sacs almost 2 years ago I have been able to get my blood pressure under control (using less meds than b4). I am a runner and I have been told that I must always exercise and stay in shape. Can I resume weight training safely and can I supplement with ketoglutaric acid?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.PKD is a common hereditary disease and hypertension is the commonest symptom. Avoid weight training, if creatinine or B.P. is high. To advise about expert treatment, do the following tests:1. Urine routine, culture and ACR.2. Blood routine, creatinine,RBS, LFT,and platelets.3. An ultrasound-KUB or ACTIVE. A CT scan gives detailed information. Avoid the ketoglutaric acid supplement, till reports are available. If you've any doubts, send the reports to me, as a direct question. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
