Can infantile polycystic kidney be cured

First, polycystic kidney is a kind of hereditary disease, which is an autosomal recessive genetic disease. At present, there is no effective treatment for this condition, so it is recommended to go to the hospital regularly for re examination. Moreover, most patients with polycystic kidney will have polycystic liver at the same time, so it is suggested that the liver also need to be examined by ultrasound to see whether it is normal

Second: infantile polycystic kidney, also known as autosomal recessive polycystic kidney, is one of two kinds of polycystic kidney. The etiology of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is mainly due to the congenital inheritance of parents, so it begins to develop in infancy. Antihypertensive treatment is good for children, but not for polycystic kidney. We can try drugs to control the progress of polycystic kidney, but there are side effects

matters needing attention

Numerous cysts containing urine like fluid appeared in the cortex and medulla of the kidney in polycystic kidney (PK). There are two forms of inheritance, one is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, which usually presents symptoms in adulthood, but can also appear symptoms in newborns, which used to be called adult PK; the other is autosomal recessive genotype, which used to be called infant PK, which shows symptoms at birth and even dies in newborns, but it has been found that this type can also be seen in adults in recent years. The former type is more common, about 12-24 times of the latter type
