Yes: While most renal disorders are not hereditary, some kidney conditions have known inherited genetic components. Common hereditary kidney disorders include: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease; Tuberous Sclerosis; Alport Syndrome; and Von-Hippel Lindau Syndrome. If one of these kidney disorders runs in your family, your chances of developing this type of inherited disease increases.
