Can polycystic kidney disease cause children?

It is possible to get pregnant with polycystic kidney disease, but it is best to choose the early stage of polycystic kidney disease. If it is in the middle or late stage, the risk factor will be relatively greater. There are still many women with polycystic kidney disease, but these women must face one problem, that is, pregnancy. It is still possible to have a baby with polycystic kidney disease, but it is generally best to choose the early stages of polycystic kidney disease.

Polycystic kidney disease is a common renal function disease at present, which is divided into autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease and autosomal latent polycystic kidney disease. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease has a high prevalence and is one of the most common genetic kidney diseases. According to surveys, there are 12.5 million patients worldwide, including about 1.5 million in my country.

Autosomal latent polycystic kidney disease is the most common genetic disease and the first to show clinical manifestations in infancy. The clinical symptoms are bilateral kidney swelling with multiple cysts, low back pain, recurrent hematuria and hypertension. Some patients may also have polycystic liver and renal insufficiency.

How much is the genetic risk of polycystic kidney disease?

1. Men and women have the same chance of developing the disease;

2. If one of the parents is sick, the children have a 50% chance of inheriting the cystic gene and developing the disease. If both parents are sick, the incidence rate of the children increases to 75%;

3. Children who do not get sick do not carry the cystic gene, and their next generation (grandchildren) will not get the disease either, which means it is not easy to be inherited from the previous generation. It is very rare for a disease to occur due to gene mutation without being inherited from parents.

Doctor's reminder: Prevention of polycystic kidney disease is very important. To prevent polycystic kidney disease, we must ensure three preventions, three controls and one adjustment.

The three preventions are: prevent fever and colds, prevent fatigue, and prevent trauma.

The three controls are: controlling blood pressure, controlling diet, and controlling complications.

The first adjustment is to adjust your mindset.
