PLD is a rare condition that causes cysts -- fluid-filled sacs -- to grow throughout the liver. A normal liver has a smooth, uniform appearance. A polycystic liver can look like a cluster of very large grapes. Cysts also can grow independently in different parts of the liver. The cysts, if they get too numerous or large, may cause discomfort and health complications. But, most people with polycystic liver disease do not have symptoms and live a normal life.
Most of the time, people with polycystic liver disease have no symptoms. However, if the liver becomes enlarged and riddled with cysts, symptoms may include:
Abdominal pain
Bloating or swelling in the abdomen
Feeling full
Only about one out of every 10 people with PLD has problems associated with it. In addition to severe abdominal pain, other complications may include:
Bleeding into a cyst
Infection of a cyst
Bile duct obstruction and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
