Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)


Polycystic Kidney Disease
[ PKD ]

Introduction :-

Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder that affects the kidneys and other organs ( Particularly Liver ) in which clusters of fluid-filled sacs, called cysts, develop in the kidneys and interfere with their ability to filter waste products from blood. Due to These cysts  kidney  become enlarged and causes chronic kidney disease (CKD), which can lead to kidney failure, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).


Types of Polycystic Kidney disease :-
There are two types of Polycystic Kidneys disease ( PKD ) :-
  • Autosomal dominant PKD ( ADPKD ) - Autosomal dominant PKD causes cysts only in the kidneys. It is often called "adult PKD," because people with this type of PKD might not notice any symptoms until they are between 30 and 50 years old.
  • Autosomal recessive PKD ( ARPKD ) – Autosomal recessive PKD causes cysts to grow in both the kidneys and the liver. It is often called infantile PKD because babies can show signs of the disease in their first few months of life, or even before they are born.

 
Causes :-

A defected gene or defect in mutation of gene causes PKD ( Polycystic Kidney Disease ). In most PKD cases, a child got the gene mutation from a parent. In a small number of PKD cases, the gene mutation developed on its own, without either parent carrying a copy of the mutated gene.
