Is Joint Cramping Due To A Co-morbid Condition Of ADPKD?
Could cramps; in legs, feet, hips,knees wrist, figures etc..., be considered as a co-morbid condition of ADPKD type 1.? My current renal function is 31% and I have a symptom list a mile long. Cramps are very bad for me and I get them in all joints. I am trying to work with insurance on technical terminology.

Hello,
Cramps usually occur in muscles and not in joints. If you are referring to stiffness of joints, it is not a symptom of ADPKD directly.
Your reduced renal function can however lead to joint stiffness and accelerated arthritis and osteoporosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Karthik Rajan
