Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a disorder occasionally detected in aircrew members. Complications associated with PKD include hypertension, urinary tract infections and calculi, and cerebral or abdominal aneurysms with the most frequent cause of death, uremia and renal failure. The prognosis for PKD is variable in that it is a benign disorder for some patients whereas others are fraught with these complications. Many airmen with PKD can continue with cockpit duties as long as there are no potentially incapacitating symptoms. Of particular importance is good blood pressure control for those with hypertension.
多囊肾病（PKD）是一种偶尔在机组人员中被检测出的疾病。与PKD相关的并发症包括高血压、尿路感染和结石，以及脑动脉瘤或腹主动脉瘤，最常见的死亡原因是尿毒症和肾衰竭。PKD的预后因人而异，因为对一些患者来说它是一种良性疾病，而另一些患者则会出现这些并发症。许多患有PKD的飞行员只要没有潜在的致残症状，就可以继续执行驾驶舱任务。对于患有高血压的人来说，良好的血压控制尤为重要。
