Some individuals will experience kidney failure when they are in their 40s and 50s. This is, of course, due to the effect of age on the organs. Other causes may include: diabetes mellitus, hypertension (high blood pressure), and genetic disorders such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Kidney failure can also be an inherited condition. For example, if a person has type 1 diabetes and has two parent with type 2 diabetes there is a possibility that he or she could inherit the disease.

Kidney Failure is measured by how much they filter in per minute. The kidneys naturally filter substances from the blood stream such as salts and waste products which would otherwise accumulate to toxic levels in the body . The kidneys are constantly filtering the blood, but can only filter so much. Kidney failure is known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) when the kidney’s are no longer able to filter enough to keep up with how much fluid is being filtered into the body or if they cannot function properly.
When a person experiences kidney failure they will need to receive some kind of dialysis in order to help flush the toxins from their blood stream. This is done by using a machine that has an artificial kidney on it, which removes wastes and unneeded substances. Most people will undergo hemodialysis where they replace the function of the kidneys over several hours while receiving intravenous fluids, medications , and sometimes blood. Hemodialysis treatment usually lasts for three to four hours, three days a week .
There are other forms of dialysis available such as peritoneal dialysis where the treatment is done at home using the person’s own body. You will place a tube into your abdomen which will then drain excess fluid while infusing a cleansing solution into the abdomen. This allows toxins to be removed from fluid that has already been filtered by the kidney. Another form is continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) which measures how well they are doing on dialysis . CRRT involves machines that continually filter blood while replacing fluids and medications through the body.

Frequently asked questions about hereditary kidney disease
1. Which kidney diseases can be inherited?
Polycystic kidney disease is the most common inherited kidney disease. Others include Alport syndrome, some forms of nephrotic syndrome and inherited tubular disorders. Many kidney failures are not inherited but result from diabetes and hypertension.
2. Should family members be screened if one person has kidney disease?
Yes, relatives of someone with an inherited kidney disease, or with diabetes or hypertension-related kidney damage, benefit from checking blood pressure, creatinine and a urine test.
3. Can I reduce my risk if kidney disease runs in my family?
You cannot change your genes, but controlling blood pressure and blood sugar, staying hydrated, avoiding painkillers like NSAIDs, not smoking and regular screening reduce the risk of progression.
4. Is polycystic kidney disease hereditary?
Yes. Autosomal dominant PKD is passed from parent to child with a 50% chance in each pregnancy. Genetic counselling is available.
5. Can homeopathy help in hereditary kidney disease?
Homeopathy is offered as individualised, supportive care alongside your nephrologist’s treatment. It does not change a genetic condition.
