12 Risk Factors
6. Lifestyle-related chronic diseases
The risk of developing kidney disease can begin even before birth due to different factors. A family history of kidney disease may increase the likelihood of similar issues.
Maternal factors, such as exposure of the mother to toxins or malnutrition during pregnancy, may also impact a child’s kidney health, highlighting the importance of prenatal care to reduce the risk of kidney problems later in life.
Premature birth and low birth weight are additional risk factors, so individuals born under these conditions might benefit from regular follow-ups with a healthcare professional.
Inherited kidney conditions…
Inherited kidney conditions, such as Adult Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), and Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT), can also raise the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Early genetic testing and screening for inherited conditions may help in slowing the progression of kidney disease. Detecting and managing inherited or congenital kidney disorders early on can lead to better health outcomes and reduce the likelihood of long-term complications.
