Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder that causes numerous fluid-filled cysts to form in the kidneys. These cysts can grow large and disrupt the normal function of the kidneys, leading to complications such as high blood pressure and kidney failure. PKD can be inherited from one or both parents, and it affects both men and women equally. There are two main types of PKD: Autosomal Dominant PKD, which is more common and usually appears in adulthood, and Autosomal Recessive PKD, which is rarer and often diagnosed in infancy or early childhood. Early detection and management are crucial for maintaining kidney health and overall well-being.
