What should be done about high blood pressure caused by polycystic kidney disease?

For hypertension caused by polycystic kidney disease, it is recommended to actively control blood pressure. Patients may use angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors such as perindopril, fosinopril, or ramipril under medical guidance to help lower blood pressure and protect kidney function. If drug therapy is ineffective, surgical options such as cyst decortication (de-roofing of renal cysts) or nephrectomy may be considered under a doctor's recommendation.
