It is known that PKD is a genetic kidney disease, and children can be inherited with then someone wonder if PKD can skip generation. This time we will describe how PKD gene is inherited, and you will find the answer in the following:

For ADPKD, if one of parents have ADPKD, the chance of PKD for child is 50%. If two both have ADPKD, the chance is 75%.

For ARPKD, if one parent has ARPKD, the possibility is zero, if both of parents have ARPKD, the possibility is about one hundred percent.

From the inheritance of PKD, we can know ADPKD can not skip generation, but ARPKD can skip generation with ARPKD gene in body.

The leading harm of PKD is that numerous kidney cysts grow and enlarge to damage kidney, thus, shrinking kidney cysts is the key to treat PKD, and Chinese medicine treatment can inhibit inner cells of cyst from secreting cyst fluids, and enhance permeability of cyst walls to let cyst fluids flow out. Kidney cysts can be shrunk fundamentally. In addition, kidney condition can be improved well with Chinese medicine by promoting blood circulation, dilating blood vessel, preventing inflammation, and enhance immunity and degrade fibrosis.
