Overview
Polycystic kidney disease is one of the most common genetic cause of chronic renal failure in adults.
Epidemiology and Demographis
- Polycystic kidney disease is the most common life-threatening genetic disease, affecting approximately 7 million people worldwide. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease affects up to 1 in 1000 people, while the autosomal recessive type is estimated to occur in approximately 1 in 20,000 people.[1][2]
- It affects men and women equally
