Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is the growth of many kidney cysts. PKD is divided into Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) and Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD). ADPKD prevalence 1:500 and ARPKD 1:6000-40000. The patient, a 34-year-old male, came to the hospital with the main complaint of bilateral low back pain. Patients are given symptomatic treatment by diclofenac sodium 50mg 2 dd 1—supporting Examination for PKD diagnosis with CT-Scan. The author is interested in studying more about PKD because it is asymptomatic and only becomes symptomatic at the age of 30-40 years in ADPKD and has high mortality in the ARPKD type.
