Genetic Kidney Diseases

Genetic Kidney Diseases

Kidneys are affected by more than 60 genetic causes, either directly or indirectly. Genetic kidney conditions range from comparatively common conditions to very rare diseases. Some are associated with mild symptoms, and others can cause serious health conditions. Genetic disorders of the kidney include cystic syndromes, metabolic syndrome,s and immune glomerulonephritis. Cystic diseases comprise autosomal dominant and recessive polycystic kidney disease. Neonates with enlarged, cystic kidneys should be evaluated for Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder that causes numerous cysts to form in the kidneys. These tumours can obstruct kidney function and cause kidney failure.
