Polycystic kidney disease (PCKD)
  

This disease runs in families. Both kidneys become filled with cysts (fluid-filled lumps). As the cysts grow in size they block normal kidney function. Symptoms include blood in the urine, kidney infections, high blood pressure, and back or abdominal pain. There are good treatments for PCKD.
