PKD (Polycystic Kidney disease)

[The spy who...]

Hi

Anyone know if this will stop you getting a medical for a PPL or if a current medical will be suspended if diagnosed with this chronic condition?

I guess it would have to be decided on its merits and in particular the degree to which kidney function was affected and high blood pressure had occurred. In principle, common sense says that the diagnosis alone should not affect the certificate, but that is my conjecture.
