Kidney Disease
More than 70 to 80 percent of patients with tuberous sclerosis will develop some types of kidney disease. They occur when the condition develops some tumors in this important organ. Renal angiomyolipoma is the most common type, which causes weakening blood vessels around your kidney and triggers bleeding and burst. Two other common forms include renal cysts and renal cell carcinoma. Both of them would cause some health issues, such as high blood pressure, loss of appetite, back pain, or blood in the urine. Kidney disease can be precisely diagnosed with MRI tests, CT scanning, and renal ultrasonography. [4]
