Is uremia hereditary?

There are many uremia patients in clinical practice, who develop the disease because of the lack of timely treatment of kidney disease. Once suffering from uremia, kidney function basically disappears, and the patient can only wait for death to come.

Uremia essentially refers to the inability of the human body to produce urine through the kidneys and excrete metabolic waste and excess water from the body, causing poisoning.

Uremia is a general term for a series of late-stage symptoms caused by kidney lesions and inability to function normally. It is the ultimate stage of chronic renal failure. Therefore, uremia is the ultimate result of kidney damage caused by many diseases, so uremia is not hereditary; but some of the primary diseases that cause uremia are hereditary.

In general, kidney disease has little heritability, but there is also a group of kidney diseases caused by gene mutations and inherited from offspring according to Mendel's law, including hereditary renal cystic diseases, such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, hereditary glomerular diseases, such as hereditary nephritis, thin basement membrane nephropathy and Fabry disease; hereditary tubular diseases, such as familial vitamin D-resistant rickets, and hereditary metabolic kidney diseases, such as cystine nephropathy.
