Explanation:

For symptomatic polycystic kidney disease, when kidney - function deteriorates, dialysis (hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) can be used to replace kidney - function for waste removal. A kidney transplant is also a definitive treatment option. Bilateral nephrectomy may be considered in some cases to relieve symptoms like pain or bleeding. Immunosuppression therapy is mainly for post - transplant cases to prevent rejection and is not a first - line treatment for the disease itself.

Answer:

1. Hemodialysis
2. Peritoneal dialysis
3. Kidney transplant
4. Bilateral nephrectomy
