Podcast: Polycystic Kidney and Liver Diseases (PKD and PLD)
In this episode of Back to Health, we have a panel conversation with James Chevalier, M.D., Danielle Brandman, M.D. and Benjamin Samstein, M.D. to discuss polycystic kidney & liver diseases (PKD and PLD). The doctors give an overview of the two types of polycystic diseases and how they can be passed down through family genetics. They share how specialists can track the symptoms in patients and how cysts can impact other organs in the body. They also review the multidisciplinary treatment options available to help manage the cystic diseases and the special considerations that women should take due to hormonal impacts.
