Can polycystic kidney patients have children

First, patients with polycystic kidney disease should wait until their condition is stable before they consider having a baby. Polycystic kidney disease can be divided into autosomal recessive disease (ARPKD) and autosomal dominant disease (ADPKD). The heritability of ARPKD and ADPKD was 75% and 50%, respectively. Although the heritability is high, it is not uncontrollable.

Second: experts suggest that polycystic kidney patients in the stable stage of the disease (that is, hypertension, hematuria and other indicators under control, no urinary tract infection, cyst bleeding and hydronephrosis symptoms) to consider to have a baby, not only conducive to the recovery of the patient's condition, and according to clinical observation, at this time the heritability will be greatly reduced.

Third: pregnant women with polycystic kidney disease should be monitored regularly during pregnancy. Considering that the treatment of polycystic kidney is complicated in the later stage, in order to ensure the health of the baby and realize the eugenics, it is extremely necessary for women with polycystic kidney to have B-ultrasound examination on the fetus regularly during pregnancy.
