A polycystic kidney is a genetic disease in which a large abnormal cyst develops in the kidney.
It consists of two types:
Mainstream polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

Cystic disorder appears at any stage of breastfeeding, childhood, or adulthood.

Signs and symptoms include:
High blood pressure, abdominal pain, bloody urine, back pain and headache.
The formation of the cyst (on the kidneys and other organs).

The reasons vary from one type to the other, such as:
الس Mainstream polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD):
Symptoms may appear between the ages of 30 and 40 years.

المتن recurrent polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD):
Less common than type 1, and symptoms usually appear soon after birth.
- In order for it to be transmitted, the father and mother must have the disease genes for transmission to the child.
- If the father and mother carry the genes of the disease, then each child has a 25% chance of getting the disease.
