Abstract

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a hereditary disease that is usually caused by PKD1 or PKD2 pathogenic mutation and that can be divided into 2 types by heredity. When symptoms present neonatally, the prevalence of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is from 1/10,000 to 1/40,000.1 Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease,1 which is also an adult-onset type. The incidence rate of ADPKD is estimated to be 1/400 to 1/1000.
