What is the genetic kidney disease marked by the growth of numerous fluid-filled cysts?

The genetic kidney disease characterized by the development of numerous fluid-filled cysts is polycystic kidney disease. This condition is hereditary and often involves the formation of large cysts that can significantly disrupt kidney function over time. The cysts develop within the renal tubules, leading to an increase in kidney size and potentially causing high blood pressure, kidney stones, and eventually kidney failure.

Understanding this disease contextually helps explain its name: "polycystic" translates to "many cysts." The other conditions listed do not involve the formation of cysts in the kidneys. Glomerulonephritis refers to the inflammation of the glomeruli, nephritis indicates general inflammation of the kidney, and rhabdomyolysis involves the breakdown of muscle tissue, which can lead to kidney injury but is fundamentally different from a genetic condition that causes cyst growth.
