The Best Time to Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic Kidney Disease is a congenital disorder in kidneys where numerous cysts are formed. The symptoms do not occur until the cysts are growing large enough to squeeze the kidney tissues. The early symptom is backache generally, and sometimes inflammatory reactions such as hematuria or pyelonephritis will be accompanied with. Many patients do not receive any measures at this time. However, when the cysts are pressing more and more kidney tissues, most kidney functions will be lost and the disease will develop into end stage Renal Failure (ESRD).
Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of hereditary diseases, and what is the genetic mechanism?
Polycystic Kidney disease follows the autosomal dominant heredity trait. If one parent carries the gene, the children have a 50% chance of developing the disease. It occurs to (in) both children and adults, but there is a bigger chance for adults.
The symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease and are they severe at first?
The symptoms often do not show up until middle age, and that is why a lot of patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease have not been discovered. At first the common symptoms include high blood pressure, hematuria, abdominal pain, and sometimes the symptoms might be urinary trace infection or kidney stone.
Any disease has a process of progressing. Without exception, Polycystic Kidney Disease patients can lead a normal life at first because the kidneys have a great function of compensation.
Polycystic Kidney Disease progresses into Uremia.
The cysts will grow as the time goes by, which will press kidneys so that more and more nephrons be damaged. At last, most functions of kidneys are damaged and can not sustain people’s life. At this time, the Uremia develops.
More exactly, the development of Renal Failure and Uremia is a process of renal fibrosis where 50% of kidney functions are damaged.
Prevent the renal fibrosis
To prevent the process of kidney fibrosis is a main way of controlling the worsening of illness condition. The process of preventing kidney fibrosis is in fact repairing the damaged intrinsic cells and removing the pathogenic factors. The treatment of Polycystic Kidney Disease is through the following ways: 1. reduce the cysts to decrease the pressure on the kidneys and their around tissues; 2. control the growth of cysts and avoid the development of Renal Failure and Uremia.
Experts’ recommendations
The earlier to receive treatment, the better the efficacy will be. It is the best time to receive treatment before the kidneys are damaged. Patients should also be aware that if the cysts are controlled, the occurrence of Renal Failure and Uremia can be avoided.
The recommended therapies of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease are Immunotherapy and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. These two therapies cause no side effects and can prevent the growth of cysts from the root. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our online experts or send us emails directly.
