What is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?
Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder in which many cysts develop in the kidneys. The cysts are fluid-filled sacs of different sizes and may cause kidney enlargement and compromised kidney function. Over time, PKD may lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or kidney failure if left untreated.
PKD is like little water balloons that form in your kidneys. Squeezing the tissue that encases them, the cysts cause pain and impair the kidneys from draining waste from your bloodstream.
- Autosomal Dominant PKD (ADPKD): This is the most common type and usually shows symptoms between 30 and 40.
- Autosomal Recessive PKD (ARPKD): This is less common and more severe, often diagnosed in infancy or early childhood.
Causes of Polycystic Kidney Disease
Genetic mutations are the most common cause of kidney cysts in PKD:
ADPKD, or autosomal dominant PKD, is caused by PKD1 or PKD2 gene mutations. An individual has a 50% risk of inheriting the disease if they have one sick parent.
- Autosomal Recessive PKD (ARPKD): Caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene. Both parents must carry the gene mutation for their child to develop PKD.
- Cellular Dysfunction: Abnormal cell growth and division contribute to the formation of cysts.
- Oxidative Stress: Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress can worsen cyst growth and kidney damage.
- High Blood Pressure: Increased pressure in the kidneys can promote cyst formation and kidney damage.
Symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease
The severity of polycystic kidney disease and the size of the cysts can affect the symptoms. Typical symptoms include the following;
- High blood pressure: Increased pressure. The severity of polycystic kidney disease and the size of the cysts can affect the symptoms. Typical symptoms include the following due to reduced kidney function.
