Patient's question:
A colleague in the company suffers from polycystic kidney disease. In fact, this disease isn't as terrifying as it seems, because my colleague and ordinary people are no different. I wonder if patients with polycystic kidney disease will definitely have an outbreak?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic kidney disease is divided into autosomal dominant intergenerational inheritance and autosomal recessive intergenerational inheritance. In the case of autosomal dominant intergenerational inheritance, if the parents have it, the child may also have it. In the case of autosomal recessive intergenerational inheritance, the parents usually do not have polycystic kidney disease, but they both carry the hemophilia gene. In this case, the child can also have polycystic kidney disease. Therefore, there may be children whose parents both do not have polycystic kidney disease.
