Some kidney stones are small enough that they can be passed with little more than some temporary discomfort. Other mineral deposits are sizeable enough that medical attention is needed to prevent urinary infections or obstructions and similar complications.

POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Polycystic kidney disease is usually hereditary. The occurrence of this mutation of genes generally runs in families, and the possibility of it happening spontaneously is rare. There are two types of polycystic kidney disease. The first is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. This is the more common of the two and accounts for 90 percent of cases. It normally presents later in life, although children can still develop it. This form of the disease only requires one parent to carry the abnormal gene. The second form of the disease is autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. In this form, signs and symptoms typically present fairly close to the time of birth. Both parents must carry the mutated gene for it to be passed to their children. In this scenario, there is a 25 percent chance that the child will get the disease.
