Hi, welcome to HCM.
Polycystic kidney is genetic disorder.
Water intake may delay progression of disease.
You should maintain water intake to keep your urine output~ 2.5 L per day.
Excessive water intake will not benefit more but it can lower your S. Na (sodium) level.
To prevent progression, keep your blood pressure under control.
Keep regular follow up with your Nephrologist and do basic tests for kidney function.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
