What causes polycystic kidney disease

summary

After my sister got married, my brother-in-law was busy with work and never had a child. Last year, she finally got pregnant and gave birth to a boy some time ago. Everyone in the family was very happy. But when I went to the hospital to check the child yesterday, it was found that the child had polycystic kidney. But my sister and brother-in-law didn't have this problem. I don't know what happened. Now let's understand what causes polycystic kidney disease.

What causes polycystic kidney disease

First: toxins. It is also a common cause of polycystic kidney disease. Toxins act on the human body, can cause damage to various cells, tissues and organs, resulting in diseases and even life-threatening, and it is also one of the main reasons for gene mutation, congenital dysplasia and other phenomena. Common toxins such as pesticides, certain chemicals, radiation, pollution, etc. In particular, it should be pointed out that some drugs also have nephrotoxicity, if used improperly, it is easy to cause renal damage.

Second: gene mutation is not hereditary: for polycystic kidney disease, it is mostly inherited through parents' genes, which are divided into autosomal dominant inheritance and autosomal recessive inheritance. However, some patients with polycystic kidney disease are neither inherited by parents nor belong to congenital dysplastic polycystic kidney disease, but gene mutation during embryo formation. In the process of embryo formation, due to the role of various factors, gene mutation, the formation of polycystic kidney disease, although this situation is rare, but it can still occur, therefore, some patients with polycystic kidney disease may not have a parental genetic history. This is a common cause of polycystic kidney disease.

Third: all kinds of infection: infection can cause abnormal changes in the internal environment of the organism, thus creating environmental conditions conducive to gene changes of cysts, enhancing the activity of internal factors of cysts, thus promoting the formation and growth of cysts; No matter it is a common infection of the skin, urinary tract, or respiratory tract, it can have a great impact.

matters needing attention

Polycystic kidney is generally caused by parents' genetic or congenital dysplasia, but some patients are caused by late gene mutation, and some patients are caused by various internal infections. In short, there are many reasons for polycystic kidney disease. Before treatment, we must go to the hospital to check the cause, and then treat according to the cause.
