What Causes Constant Hiccups With Family History Of Poly Cystic Kidneys?
Hi there my husband has Polycystic Kidneys we had our children checked at around 8 years old to see if they had them.. they all seemed fine. But now my daughter is 12 years old and keeps hiccuping, this happens about 4 to 5 times a week. I looked up reasons for hiccuping and saw Kidney Failure, could this be happening to my daughter? Thanks

hiccough may be a sign of advanced renal failure, but more common causes are gastritis, basal pneumonia , empty stomach tic.
