Kidney cysts are hereditary, when from childhood they begin to slowly grow and multiply, and even simple cysts can appear in anyone with age.
Every fourth person over 50 years old, if you try, you can find a cyst in the kidney. They are usually found by chance on an ultrasound scan.
No one knows exactly why they grow up. It is clear that the problem is in the renal tubules.
Tubules
Each of our kidneys is similar in structure to a broom, that is, it consists of a whole bunch of thin tubes. These tubes may become clogged. Then they overflow with urine and turn into a cyst.
Maybe they are clogged with salt crystals, or maybe some garbage grows out of the wall of the tube and blocks the lumen - the reasons have not been clarified for sure.
Or the wall of the tube for some reason begins to grow, stretch and turn into a cyst. It's all complicated. There are a bunch of different classifications of these cysts. There is no point in bothering with details.
Since the reason for the appearance of cysts is not entirely clear, then you can not do anything.
Bad heredity
If polycystic kidney disease is inherited in your family, then (for God's sake!) Stop multiplying and passing on your disease to descendants.
Honestly, people with hereditary diseases often have some kind of abnormal need to reproduce.
They multiply, live up to 40 years, die, multiply, live up to 40 years, die. What for?
Nature takes its toll. This is probably how the rabies virus makes you bite and transmit itself, so hereditary polycystic kidney disease causes itching in that very place and makes it multiply.
Well, on average, if you want to slightly support the kidneys and slightly reduce the risk of cysts, then drink more water and eat less salt. The kidneys love it.
