What can't I eat/drink if I have Polycystic Kidney Disease?I went to the ER with bad back pain and lower abdominal pain. They did a CT scan and found a couple of kidney stones and multiple cysts on both kidneys. The ER Doc and Radiologist both thought it was polycystic kidney disease, but I don't have an appointment with the Urologist for another month and a half. Does anyone know of any guidelines I should follow in the meantime?

I googled it and got one site that said "low salt diet" (salt retains water and fluid is in the cysts).

I too, wonder why they didn't fix you there or admit you to the hospital since you were having severe pain. Maybe you don't have insurance so they just did as little as they could to help you? It is bad what hospitals are doing nowaday to people without insurance. I am glad Obama and congress got this new law passed to help everyone get insurance, even if it is not a perfect bill. I think you should get a lawyer and sue the hospital if you have an emergency with this before the urologist appointment. But if it gets bad, call the urologist and see if they can bump the appointment up sooner. Hopefully they gave you enough pain meds to last until your urologist appointment in one month. If not, I would call the ER and ask to speak to a supervisor and complain about the service you got and insist they give you enough pain meds to last until your appointment.
