Detailed explanation-1: -A healthy kidney (left) eliminates waste from the blood and maintains the body’s chemical balance. With polycystic kidney disease (right), fluid-filled sacs called cysts develop in the kidneys. The kidneys grow larger and gradually lose the ability to function as they should.

Detailed explanation-2: -Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects 1 in 20, 000 children. A fetus or baby with ARPKD has fluid-filled kidney cysts that may make the kidneys too big, or enlarged. ARPKD can cause a child to have poor kidney function, even in the womb.
