Cause #10: Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease can be divided into autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. It is a disease that is inherited genetically where the renal tubules become abnormal leading to the development of multiple cysts in the kidney. It can begin in infancy or adulthood.
The disease occurs as abnormal genes produce an abnormal protein that has an adverse effect on the development of tubules. It can also cause the development of cysts in the pancreas and liver. It can lead to complications such as hypertension, hydronephrosis, renal failure, hematuria, abdominal pain, and more.
