When does polycystic kidney disease come on

summary

My child is only 8 years old this year. Some time ago, the doctor said that my child suffered from polycystic kidney disease, but now there are still no symptoms. When will polycystic kidney disease occur? Can it be cured? Now tell us when polycystic kidney disease

When does polycystic kidney disease come on

First, it takes a long time for polycystic kidney disease to develop, usually about 10 years to develop into renal function decline; we should actively treat polycystic kidney disease, keep optimistic mood, and pay attention to light diet.

Second: polycystic kidney can be divided into two types: one is congenital polycystic kidney, which occurs in infancy and is rare clinically; the other is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney (adult type), which is often found in young and middle-aged, and can also occur at any age.

Third: polycystic kidney disease does occur in some people very late. But it is more in the first 10 years of renal function decline. Polycystic kidney is still unable to cure, only through diet control and other methods of intervention, delay its progress. Finally, it can only be treated with renal replacement (dialysis or kidney transplantation). The late treatment of patients with polycystic liver disease is more difficult, now for patients with severe liver function damage, only liver transplantation can be done. But don't be too nervous, it's just the situation. If it's well controlled, you won't need to think about transplantation until 15 years later. At that time, science should have made great progress.

matters needing attention

Although polycystic kidney is a genetic disease, it is not 100% transmitted to children. It's better to let it go. Remember to see nephrology regularly (half a year).
