Polycystic kidney disease is a congenital hereditary diseases, the focus of treatment of polycystic kidney disease controlled early cysts grow up. In clinical polycystic kidney disease is hereditary. According to genetic characteristics, divided into autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney categories. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney common. As autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, which is characterized as having a familial aggregation, may be the disease of men and women, gender involvement opportunities are equal, successive generations can occur in patients. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, also known as adult polycystic kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease is common. Due to the deepening understanding of the disease, the prognosis is significantly improved. Polycystic kidney disease is an autosomal recessive inheritance. Almost all parents equally no history. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, also known as infantile polycystic kidney disease, a rare type of polycystic kidney disease.
