Polycystic kidney disease:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
While both types of polycystic kidney disease are genetically transmitted, the incidence in two distinct age groups and different inheritance patterns suggest two unrelated disorders. The infantile type appears to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, whereas the adult type seems to be an autosomal dominant trait. The gene has been located on chromosome 6, supporting the premise that this is a single genetic disease with variable phenotype presentation.
Polycystic kidney disease reportedly affects 1 in every 1,000 Americans; yet that number may be even higher because some cases from patients who aren’t symptomatic go unreported. Both types of polycystic kidney disease affect males and females equally.

Kidney cancer:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The causes of kidney cancer aren't known, although smokers develop more renal cell tumors than nonsmokers. However, the incidence of this malignancy is rising, possibly as a result of exposure to environmental carcinogens as well as increased longevity. Even so, this cancer accounts for only about 2% of all adult cancers. Kidney cancer is more common in men than women and peaks in incidence between ages 50 and 70.

Chronic renal failure:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Diabetes and hypertension are the primary causes of chronic renal failure, accounting for two-thirds of cases. Other causes of chronic renal failure include:
❑ chronic glomerular disease such as glomerulonephritis
❑ chronic infections, such as chronic pyelonephritis or tuberculosis
❑ congenital anomalies such as polycystic kidneys
❑ vascular diseases such as renal nephrosclerosis
❑ obstructive processes such as calculi
❑ collagen diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus
❑ nephrotoxic agents such as long-term aminoglycoside therapy.
These conditions gradually destroy the nephrons and eventually cause irreversible renal failure. Similarly, acute renal failure that fails to respond to treatment becomes chronic renal failure.
This syndrome may progress through the following stages:
❑ reduced renal reserve (creatinine clearance glomerular filtration rate [GFR] is 40 to 70 ml/minute)
❑ renal insufficiency (GFR 20 to 40 ml/ minute)
❑ renal failure (GFR 10 to 20 ml/minute)
❑ end-stage renal disease (GFR less than 10 ml/minute).
Chronic renal failure and end-stage renal disease affect about 2 out of 1,000 people in the United States.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:
The term 'prevalence' of Kidney Cancer usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Kidney Cancer at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Kidney Cancer refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Kidney Cancer diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
