How do you get kidney cysts? Six major causes should not be ignored

According to relevant data surveys, the incidence of renal cysts is increasing, seriously endangering the patient's condition. According to experts, depression, instability, excessive fatigue, unreasonable diet, congenital developmental disorders, infections from various viruses and bacteria, and genetic mutations in acquired life are all key causes of this disease.

1. Depression and instability

Adverse emotional changes can cause nervous and endocrine disorders in the human body, thereby changing the body's internal environment through neurohumoral effects. Abnormalities in the internal environment have an impact on the cyst. Moreover, negative emotions can reduce a person's immunity, which is conducive to the invasion of bacteria and viruses, thus affecting the cysts. A large amount of clinical practice has proved that negative emotions can aggravate the condition, especially cystic diseases, but if one adjusts one's mood and does not feel sad or irritable, the condition can often gradually improve.

2. Overwork

Overwork should include physical overwork (long-term excessive exertion or strenuous exercise can easily lead to illness) and mental overwork (excessive thinking, excessive psychological pressure, and heavy mental burden).

3. Unreasonable diet

Maybe everyone doesn’t know that bad eating habits may cause many diseases, and of course it is also an important factor in the occurrence, development and change of cystic disease. These include improper diet (being too hungry will lead to malnutrition; being too full will easily damage the spleen and stomach's digestion) and unclean diet (in mild cases, it will easily cause gastrointestinal diseases, and in severe cases, it will cause poisoning and even endanger life).

4. Congenital maldevelopment

Congenital maldevelopment can cause a variety of diseases. For cystic kidney disease, it can mainly cause medullary sponge kidney, dysplastic polycystic kidney disease, etc. The genes of congenital developmental abnormalities are generally not abnormal, so it is different from genetic inheritance or gene mutation.

5. Infections caused by various viruses and bacteria

Infection can cause abnormal changes in the body's internal environment, thereby creating environmental conditions that are conducive to changes in cyst genes and enhancing the activity of the cyst's internal factors, which can promote the formation and growth of cysts. Any infection in any part of the body will enter the kidneys through the blood and affect the cysts. If the cyst is infected, in addition to aggravating the clinical symptoms, it will also cause the cyst to grow further and aggravate renal damage. Common infections include upper respiratory tract infections (including colds), urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal tract infections, skin infections, traumatic infections, instrument infections, etc. That is, whether it is bacterial infection or viral infection, it can have a great impact on cysts.

6. Gene mutation in acquired life

For polycystic kidney disease, it is mostly inherited through the genes of parents, which is divided into autosomal dominant inheritance and autosomal recessive inheritance. However, some polycystic kidney disease patients do not inherit the disease from their parents, nor do they have congenital dysplastic polycystic kidney disease, but rather a gene mutation during embryo formation. During the embryonic formation process, due to the influence of various factors, the gene mutates and forms polycystic kidney disease. Although this situation is rare, it can still occur. Therefore, some polycystic kidney patients may not have a parental genetic history.
