Is polycystic kidney contagious

First of all: polycystic kidney disease is not contagious, but it is hereditary. Hereditary polycystic kidney disease is autosomal dominant inheritance. According to its genetic law, the incidence of polycystic kidney disease from generation to generation is equal for men and women. If one of the parents is ill, the incidence of the children is 50%. But about 40% of the patients have no family inheritance, which may be caused by their own gene mutation.

Second: it's impossible to control the sperm you fertilized not to carry these abnormal genes. Now we can only carry out fetal sex selection for some sex chromosome genetic diseases, so as to prevent children from getting sick.

Finally: amniocentesis is to check some neural aspects of congenital malformations, such as congenital stupidity, etc., the general polycystic kidney can not be detected, polycystic kidney can be clearly diagnosed by ultrasound.

matters needing attention

It is only when both parents of fetal polycystic kidney carry the gene of this disease that their children may get sick, but it is not 100% of the disease. If the disease is found and treated in time, it will be effective.
