Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a kind of genetic Kidney Disease, mainly
caused by gene deletion. This disease can be divided into Adult Polycystic
Kidney Disease and Infant Polycystic Kidney Disease. Well then, what factors can
cause this two type Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).
Ⅰ. Causes of Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease:
Normally, Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease is caused by deletion of 16
chromosome, or sometimes by deletion of 4 chromosome occasionally. It belongs to
autosomal dominant inheritance with 100% penetrance. Therefore, children can
inherit this disease at 50% possibility if one of their parents has gene
deletion.
Ⅱ. Causes of Infant Polycystic Kidney Disease:
Infant Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of autosomal recessive
inheritance, which means that only both parents have gene of Polycystic Kidney
Disease, their children can get this disease with incidence of 25%. In Infant
Polycystic Kidney Disease, cyst cavity is in a size of needle head, and there is
very little renal tissue among cysts. With cysts growing, renal parenchyma can
atrophy due to pressure from cysts. For this reason, medulla and cortex can not
develop fully.
Yellow brow mucous, abscess or blood liquid can be found in cyst
cavity. Besides, cysts are isolated with renal pelvis.
During the process of embryo forming, due to action of various factors, gene
mutation which causes Polycystic Kidney Disease happens. Though this condition
seldom happens, it still has the possibility. Therefore, some Polycystic Kidney
Disease patients can have no parents’ hereditary history.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is suggested to Polycystic Kidney Disease
patients. Compared with Western Medicine treatment, Micro-Chinese Medicine
Osmotherapy can treat Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) starting with shrinking
cysts and repairing injured kidney. Through many years of clinical practice, it
has been proved that Micro-Chinese Medicine has a significant effect on treating
Polycystic Kidney Disease. It has helped many Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
patients live a normal life.
