PCKD Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PCKD) is a disease that is inherited and causes the development of multiple non-cancerous cysts that can form in the kidneys. These cysts can cause the kidneys to become extremely enlarged and cause permanent scarring of the healthy renal tissues to occur resulting in the impairment of kidney functioning.

Causes
There are two types of PCKD of which both are caused genetic abnormalities that are inherited called Autosomal Dominant PCKD and Autosomal Recessive PCKD.
A child has a 50% chance of inherited ADPKD when one parent has this disorder. However, sometimes, the disease may occur spontaneously due to a new genetic mutation other than inherited from parents.
ARPKD is most commonly diagnosed at birth, however, it can be diagnosed later on during childhood or when the child has reached the age of adolescence. There is a 25% chance that a child born to parents that are both carriers will get the disease. If only one parent carries the gene, children will not be affected.

·Immune clearance technology: immunosorption, plasma exchange blood purification
Features
·No side effects to the human body.
·Help patients prevent the progression of PCKD and avoid operation.
·Help patients avoid or get rid of dialysis. Prolong the interval of dialysis or at least reduce the dialysis frequency.
