Patient's question:
Dizziness and nausea, weakness in all four limbs, severe abdominal pain, aching lower back, worried about my physical condition. So, I'd like to ask what are the causes of renal cysts?Doctor's answer:
The causes of renal cysts, congenital malformations can lead to a variety of different diseases. For cystic kidney disease, the main causes include medullary sponge kidney, dysplastic polycystic kidney, etc. The genes of congenital malformations are generally not abnormal, different from genetic intergenerational inheritance or genetic mutations. The gene mutations of polycystic kidney disease are mainly inherited from the parents' genes, which can be divided into autosomal dominant intergenerational inheritance and autosomal recessive intergenerational inheritance. However, some patients with polycystic kidney disease are neither inherited from parents nor congenital dysplastic polycystic kidney disease, but rather severe genetic mutations during embryonic development. During embryonic development, polycystic kidney disease is caused by gene mutations induced by multiple different factors. Although this is rare, it is still possible to occur.
