I wish I could help you and give you good advice but I am pretty new to this too. Hopefully, your son's doctor is right and he wont have any problems until much, much later in life, if at all. Hopefully in the next few years there will be treatments for PKD. There are medications in clinical trials now that will hopefully be effective in stopping the growth of cysts. In the meantime, try to have your son eat as healthy as possible. Limit salt and fast food and processed foods. Have your son drink lots of water. Try to stay away from soda and caffeine. Make sure he gets exercise. Life is a gift. Enjoy every day and try not to worry about what will be. There are always new medical advances and being your son is so young, I'm sure he will be able to benefit from them.
