Dear Madam,
Unfortunately there is no specific "cure" for PKD as of now. You need to control your BP well. PKD progresses over decades. So there is no danger of developing kidney failure in the near future. Please follow up regularly with your nephrologist and I'm sure you will do well in the long run. Take care.
