I would suggest to follow the advice of your consulting doctor. Polycystic kidney disease is an inherited disorder in which clusters of cysts develop primarily within your kidneys, causing your kidneys to enlarge and lose function over time. The Argin Powder will help in the development of the fetus and help in pregnancy. I would also advice that the family does a screening for kidney diseases as the polycystic kidney disease is an inherited disease so identify any problems and get treated at the earliest.
