What is polycystic kidney heredity

summary

In recent days, I had a low fever, and it lasted for several days, but the fever did not subside. Later, my waist began to ache, so I had to go to the hospital for examination. The examination report showed that I had polycystic kidney, and my father had polycystic kidney. Today, let me talk about the heredity of polycystic kidney.

What is polycystic kidney heredity

First, according to the genetic characteristics, it can be divided into autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). According to the reader's description, it should be the former, namely autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

Second: both men and women can be affected and the chance of involvement is equal. If both parents have polycystic kidney, the offspring can have 50% hereditary diseases. If the parents are suffering from this disease, the incidence rate of offspring is 75%.

The third generation will not get sick if they do not have the same sex. It is rare that the disease is caused by gene mutation without parental inheritance. Therefore, the father, grandfather and grandmother all have polycystic kidney disease, and the offspring are not necessarily sick.

matters needing attention

The onset of polycystic kidney disease is generally around 30-50 years old, so the absence of polycystic kidney disease at the age of 24 does not mean that polycystic kidney is not inherited. We still need to follow up actively, especially double kidney B ultrasound. Early detection and early treatment are very important for the prognosis of this disease.
