Polycystic kidney disease :- It is an inherited disorder in which clusters of cysts develop in the kidneys.

The cysts in polycystic kidney disease are non-cancerous sacs containing water-like fluid. They can grow very large. Many people with this condition have kidney failure by age 60.


Causes :- Abnormal genes cause polycystic kidney disease, which means that in most cases, the disease runs in families. Sometimes, a genetic mutation occurs on its own (spontaneous), so that neither parent has a copy of the mutated gene.
