Symptoms of Kidney Cysts

Many patients are familiar with Kidney Cyst which means the cystic mass in kidneys. There are no obvious symptoms in early stage. Only when patients take examinations can they know that they have cysts in kidneys. Patients need to know the symptoms of Kidney Cyst so that early treatments can be taken.

1. Pains or discomfort in waist and abdominal
With the enlargement and expansion of kidney, tension of renal capsule increases or adjacent organs are squeezed. Besides, Kidney polycystin lead to more water existing in kidneys. Thus, kidneys become heavy and pull down causing pains. The pains can be dull pain fixed in one side or both sides and extending to waist and back. Pains can increase suddenly if intracystic bleeding or secondary infection occurs. If this disease is combined with stones or blood clots block urinary tract, renal colic also occurs.

2. Hematuria
It can show microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria. Its attack presents cyclicity. Strenuous exercise, trauma and infections can induce or aggravate hematuria. Because of increasing pressure or infections, vascular wall rupture or bleed due to excessive traction.

3. Abdominal mass
Abdominal mass is the main cause for patients to see doctors. 60% to 80% patients can reach the enlarged kidneys. Generally, the larger the kidneys are, the poor the kidney function is.

4. Proteinuria
Proteinuria is less than 2g in 24-hour urine. Nephrotic Syndrome does not occur in most of the cases.

5. Hypertension
Kidneys are oppressed by cysts causing renal ischemia, more renin is secreted resulting in high blood pressure. When kidney function is normal, more than 50% patients have high blood pressure. When renal dysfunction occurs, incidence rate of high blood pressure will be higher.

6. Renal dysfunction
Cysts press the tissues around them so that there is a significantly reduction of normal kidney tissues, thus causing progressive decline of kidney function.
Hope what mentioned above is helpful. Patients of Kidney Cysts should know the symptoms early so that they can take effective treatment. Besides, they should also pay attention to the daily care.

Treatment for Bilateral Polycystic Kidney with High Blood Pressure

Bilateral Polycystic Kidney refers to multiple cysts developing within both kidneys. High blood pressure is commonly seen in this medical condition.
How does high blood pressure occur in Bilateral Polycystic Kidney?

In Bilateral Polycystic Kidney, the cysts increase in both size and number with age. The growing cysts can compress the adjacent kidney tissues and/or renal arteries, thus activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. As a result, the blood vessels contract and blood volume increases, thus resulting in high blood pressure.
How to lower high blood pressure in Bilateral Bilateral Polycystic Kidney?

* Kidney friendly diet
As mentioned above, increased blood volume is a major factor of elevating blood pressure. Therefore, it is very important for people with Bilateral Polycystic Kidney to reduce the intake of fluid and sodium. If the patients have kidney damage, they are recommended to reduce salt intake to to 0.3 grams each day. In early stage of Bilateral Polycystic Kidney, if the patients do not have kidney damage, they are suggested to drink plenty of fluid to reduce the formation of stone and reduce the incidence of infection. However, if their kidney function has declined obviously, reducing salt intake is a very important part in treating the disease.

* Medications for high blood pressure
ACEI and ARB are two kinds of classic medications to control blood pressure. Meanwhile, they also have certain effect in preserving residual renal function. If these drugs do not work well, more medications may be required.

* Shrink the large cysts
As large cysts are underlying causes of high blood pressure in Bilateral Polycystic Kidney, the primary treatment goal should aim at shrinking the cysts and stopping their further enlargement. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been adopted for years in treating Bilateral Polycystic Kidney. It is a natural therapy free of invasive effects completely.

Once the cysts become small and the compression to kidneys are eliminated, the blood pressure will reduce gradually.

Side Effects of Dialysis

Currently, dialysis is the common method to treat kidney disease. Most patients with kidney disease have taken dialysis and known about this treatment. But what are the side effects of dialysis?

1. Hypophosphatemia
There is no phosphorus in dialysate, so hypophosphatemia will occur in patients who take dialysis. If the condition is serious, respiratory insufficiency may occur. Therefore, phosphorus should be added in dialysate to make the phosphorus content be 1.3mmol/L so as to prevent hypophosphatemia.

2. Alkalosis
Quantities of basic groups can be found in dialysis to correct metabolic acidosis. Therefore, patients may have alkalosis and feel nausea, headache and weakness. The serious ones may have cardiac disorders and even die suddenly.

3. Imbalance syndrome
Generally, detoxification therapy chooses conventional dialyzer. If efficient dialyzer is used, imbalance syndrome will occur.
In addition, when patients choose to take dialysis, they should think about the future because of the long-term of dialysis. Firstly, long-term dialysis increases the difficulties and costs. Secondly, systemic organs are damaged obviously. Third, severe complications increase after dialysis. Fourth, patients have poor quality of life and live a short time. The original kidney functions are exhausted and patients can’t choose dialysis method which is suitable for their own conditions. Fifth, Dialysis in late period increases the costs.

Dialysis is not the only way to treat kidney disease. There has its characteristic therapy to treat kidney disease---Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy can control the occurrence of complications. Characteristic and pure Chinese medicine can act on kidney lesion directly by penetration therapy in vitro. The active substances in Chinese medicine can expand blood vessels and provide blood and oxygen for the damaged cells by increasing effective systemic perfusion. Therefore, it can relieve the state of ischemia and hypoxia and reduce the continuous damage to renal cells.

Kidney disease itself is not terrible, what terrible are complications it causes. Patients need to choose the correct treatment. Hope what mentioned above is helpful.

Is it Good for Patients with High or Low Creatinine

Creatinine is the metabolic product of muscle, and every 20g muscle metabolism will produce 1 mg creatinine. Creatinine is filtrated mainly by the glomerulus. Blood creatinine has exogenous creatinine and endogenous creatinine, the former one is the metabolic product of meat in the body, the latter one is the metabolic product of muscular tissue in the body. With stable meat intake and muscle metabolism, the generation of creatinine will stable.
High serum creatinine means that the kidney function has damaged, the ability of discharging waste has decreased, and some harmful toxins can’t discharge out of body. Why patients have low-creatinine?
Low serum creatinine refers to kidney get invaded by various pathogenesis, the damaged renal inherent cells have phenotype transformation, which stimulates the kidney fibroblast turns into myofibroblast. Furthermore, it stimulates the inherent normal renal tissues to occur the same pathology, thus kidney become more and more week, kidney go into the implement qualitative damage period(that is renal damage period ).At this time, because the kidney get damaged continuously, the function of secreting is decreased, then toxic substance such as creatinine etc accumulate in the body, increase the symptoms of increasing Serum Creatinine and Urea Nitrogen, decrease urine creatinine, decrease double kidney filtration rate etc. At the same time, the patient has other symptoms such as high blood pressure, high dropsy etc.
No matter the patient with low creatinine or high creatinine, they should pay serious attention to their health. Creatinine substances in the body are produced by muscle metabolism creatine, which are discharged outside the human body through kidney. Normally, because the muscle quantity is relatively stable, so the generated quantity is constant, the level of Serum Creatinine depends on how much creatinine which is discharged by the kidney. The compensation function of kidney is strong, if a pair of kidney both normal, as long as one kidney work well, the Serum Creatinine can maintain the normal level. That is to say, the damage level accounts for more than 50% of kidney, the serum creatinine begin to increase. Therefore, the early, low-grade renal function decline can’t reflected by Serum Creatinine.

Daily Care for Patients with Cysts on Kidneys

Many people are diagnosed with Cysts on Kidneys, which is terrible. Some of them have taken treatment, but the disease occurs again and small cysts grow up. It has great relations with daily care. If patients don’t pay much attention to daily care, the disease will recover easily. What are the special daily cares that patients with cysts on kidneys should pay attention to?

1. Prevent colds
Cold is the main factor to result in kidney damage for patients with kidney disease. It shows in clinic that condition of patients with Chronic Nephritis will be aggravated if they catch a cold. And Acute Nephritis occurs after 10 to 14 days of catching cold with symptoms of swelling, hematuria. Some patients are found to have kidney disease after catching a cold.
Some patients have low immune function, so when they catch a cold, they won’t have the obvious symptoms, such as fever and headache. They are just afraid of wind and cold and throat itching appears, which will not be paid much attention to. Actually, these symptoms do much harm to kidneys. Experts suggest that patients with kidney disease should prevent cold. If swelling and hematuria occur after catching a cold, they should see doctors immediately. Some patients with Uremia and Diabetes should pay more attention to cold in daily life.

2. Diet control
Besides cold, another inducement of kidney disease is improper diet. Clinical statistics show that annual festivals are the peaks for chronic kidney disease.
Kidney disease can be aggravated in winter because of more protein intake. At first, poor appetite may appear after eating and drinking. Many patients think that there is something wrong in digestive system and they go to digestion department. Actually, anemia, high blood pressure, swelling and backache are the precursors of kidney disease. When patients are drinking and eating, they should pay much attention to their health. They should eat less food with high protein and high fat, especially for patients whose kidney function is poor.

3. Take exercise
Patients with kidney disease don’t like to exercise because of cold. They like to stay at warm house and even stay in bed. Experts say that it is wrong and dangerous for patients doing this, which will slow down blood flow and aggravate kidney sclerosis and shrink. Patients should take reasonable exercise. On one hand, it can enhance resistance and prevent cold. On the other hand, it can enhance kidney blood flow, help to repair kidney damage and prevent kidney sclerosis.
Hope what mentioned above is helpful. We hope you can take care of yourself in daily life. China hospital has specific treatment, that is, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. If you want to know more about cysts on kidneys, especially the treatment.

Causes of Kidney (Renal) Cyst

It is found Kidney (Renal) Cyst in healthy people when these people take examinations. Many people are confused about this situation. Why does kidney cyst occur in people?　What are the causes of kidney cyst?

1. Congenital dysplasia
Congenital dysplasia can cause many diseases. For cystic kidney disease, congenital dysplasia can cause medullary sponge kidney and dysplasia polycystic kidney disease. However, there are no abnormal genes for congenital dysplasia. Therefore, congenital dysplasia is different from genetic inherence or gene mutation.

2. Gene mutation (non-genetic)
Polycystic Kidney Disease can be inherited from parents. But some patients with this disease don’t inherit from their parents. In the formation of embryo, gene mutation occurs, causing Polycystic Kidney Disease. Therefore, some patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease can’t have genetic history.

3. Various infections
Infections can make the internal environment become abnormal, which benefits the change of cyst genes and increase the activities of internal factors and promote the formation of cysts. In addition, other infections in human body can affect cysts through blood. If cysts are infected, besides the aggravation of clinical symptoms, the cysts can grow faster, aggravating renal dysfunction.

4. Toxins
Toxins can damage various cell tissues and organs, causing diseases or even threatening people’s life. Besides, toxin is one of the factors to cause gene mutation and congenital abnormalities, such as pesticide, chemicals, radiation and pollution. Some medicines also have nephrotoxicity, such as Kanamycin, Gentamicin and Indomethacin. If patients don’t take these medicines properly, kidney damage occurs easily.

5. Diet
Poor eating habits which are the important factors for the development of cysts diseases may result in many diseases. Poor eating habits including: (1) improper diet; (2) dirty diet; (3) diet preference.

6. Emotional factors
Bad mood can lower human immunity and germs and virus invade and attack human body, affecting cysts. A large number of clinical practice shows that bad mood can aggravate illness condition, especially cystic diseases. Conditions will be better if patients have good mood.

7. Gestation
Multiple pregnancies have negative impacts on women for the prognosis of Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Damages of Polycystic Kidney Disease

The damage of single kidney (renal) cyst is that it may develop into malignant cyst, which is rarely seen. However, for Polycystic Kidney Disease, kidney cells are damaged With the enlargement of cysts. Then damages of Polycystic Kidney Disease will occur, that is, chronic end-stage kidney failure occurs. It is very important for patients to pay much attention to the damages caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease. Then what are the damages of Polycystic Kidney Disease?
1. Heredity
Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic disease. Therefore, patients fear that their children inherit this disease.
2. Growth
With ages increasing, the numbers and sizes of renal cortical cysts changes gradually. The increased cysts will squeeze renal parenchyma and damage kidney functions. Finally, kidney cysts would take over the whole kidney.
3. Complications
Various complications appear after the occurrence of renal insufficiency, such as high blood pressure, nausea and vomit. Besides, cystic changes also can be found in liver, pancreas, spleen and ovarian. Therefore, Polycystic Kidney Disease is not only the main cause for kidney failure, but also a systemic disease itself.
4. Relapse
Polycystic Kidney Disease can’t be cured in the whole world. Patients should pay much attention to the cysts and take effective treatment even they are very small. Polycystic Kidney Disease disease may relapse easily or be infected if patients choose puncture, which has little effects. In addition, it also can’t delay the occurrence of damages of kidney functions. Except puncture, Polycystic Kidney Disease also can be treated by surgical resection, which is not so easy.
Patients should pay much attention to the damages once they get this disease. In addition, patients also need to take timely treatment to avoid kidney failure.

There has its characteristic therapy---Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy can control the occurrence of complications. Effective elements of Chinese medicine, which is characteristic and pure, can act on kidney lesions directly by penetration therapy in vitro.

The active substances in Chinese medicine can expand blood vessels and provide blood and oxygen for the damaged cells by increasing effective systemic perfusion. We have treated many foreign patients successfully with this therapy.

Causes and Treatment for Kidney Cysts Pains

Many people feel backache. They simply think that there is something wrong in their waist, so they don’t pay much attention to it. They seldom connect the pains with kidney disease. Actually, Renal Cysts can cause pains easily. How does Kidney Disease cause pains? What is the treatment for the pains?

Pains are the common symptoms of Kidney Cysts. With the enlargement and expansion of kidney, tension of renal capsule increases or adjacent organs are squeezed. Besides, Kidney polycystin lead to more water existing in kidneys. Thus, kidneys become heavy and pull down causing pains. The pains can be dull pain fixed in one side or both sides and extending to waist and back. Pains can increase suddenly if intracystic bleeding or secondary infection occurs. If this disease is combined with stones or blood clots block urinary tract, renal colic also occurs.
What treatment can patients with Kidney Cysts take?

Pains of Kidney Cysts are rooted in the enlarged and increased cysts in kidneys, so the key to treating these pains is to start from cysts. Currently, the effective therapy of treating Kidney Cysts in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is the characteristic therapy in our hospital. This therapy can enter into kidney lesion sites directly through skin penetration, avoiding the side effects of oral medication, which is the best treatment for Kidney Cysts.

Hope what mentioned above is helpful. Whether the pains are caused by Kidney Cysts or not, you should go to see doctors and take early examination. If you want to know more about the causes and treatment about Kidney Cysts pains or other things about cysts in kidneys, you can email to renalhealth@hotmail.com.

What Can I Do To My Worsen Conditions and Avoid Dialysis Caused By PKD

Q: I have Polycystic Kidneys and have been advised by doctors that I just have to wait until the situation worsens in the future (Maybe 10 years) whereby I will need dialysis or a transplant. I am enquiring if you can offer any preventative solutions to delay the cysts growing.

A: Actually, the most dangerous factor for PKD is the enlarged cyst can press normal renal tissue, causing ischemia and anoxia in kidneys. Kidney can fail to work gradually.
There is no effective treatment which can remove genetic disease at present. But that is not to say we can do nothing about this disease. Clinical experience show that as long as we can control the enlargement of cysts, renal function can be protected and patient can lead a normal life in that case. It is proven that the smaller cysts are, the fewer discomforts there is. So early treatment is quite necessary to reduce the discomforts and halt the aggravation of renal function.
Our treatment for PKD is called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This is not an oral medicine but an external osmotherapy. The effective component can penetrate into human body through waist area. Patients can take this treatment just by lying on the bed.
The mechanism of the treatment is to dilate blood vessels, restrain the hyperplasia of cystic cells, increase the permeability of cystic cells. By taking this treatment, cysts can stop enlargement and begin to shrink gradually, which can effectively reduce cysts' pressure on kidneys. Consequently, renal function can be protected.
Compared with western surgery, this treatment has low side-effect, and will not impair normal renal tissue. As per patient's reaction to the medicine, patients need to take the treatment 2-3 times each day and it takes 45mins per time, patients can feel massaged during the treatment, safe and comfortable.

Running and Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease results when cysts form in the kidneys, eventually enlarging the kidneys and leading to decreased kidney function, often progress to kidney failure. The truth is that there is not yet a cure for this disease. However, we can slow down its development through lifestyle changes. Exercise is an important part of the treatment for this disorder. Here, we'd like to talk about running and PKD.

One the the complications associated with this disease is hypertension (high blood pressure). Regular exercise can help to control your blood pressure and make you feel better. Running is recommended for PKD patients. 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week is a good goal.

Besides, walking, jogging, swimming, golfing, biking, and rowing is also permissible.

Mind-body workouts such as yoga, tai chi and stretching can also be very beneficial to those with Polycystic Kidney Disease. These exercises emphasis on concentrated breathing and relaxation, which help to relieve stress, lower blood pressure, and manage the pain.

However, contact sports like football and basketball are discouraged, as a blow to the enlarge kidneys will lead to further damage, including ruptured cysts. Others like horseback riding, cross-country biking, and other repetitive impact sports had better be avoided, because they can cause blood in urine. Any activity that can potentially lead to kidney trauma or injury should be avoided.

While doing exercises, there are several precautions to take for patients.

▪ Always stay well hydrated, and drink a lot of water, as you may have trouble retaining water.
▪ Consult our online experts or your doctor about any sports drinks and sodas that you consume during or after running.
▪ For patients who have heart trouble or brain aneurysms, contact your doctor if you have a serious headache or chest pain during or after exercise.

How to Treat PKD Without Surgery

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is an inherited genetic Renal Disorder. In the modes of heredity, there are two presentations for PKD: one is Autosomal Dominant (AD); the other is Autosomal Recessive (AR). The clinical symptoms for PKD are often seen in grown-ups, especially the aged over 40, who are the majority group and the morbidity for men and women is nearly the same. The morbidity for grown-ups with PKD is 1/1250, that is to say, one person would suffer the disease in 1250 healthy grown-ups.
PKD is the common genetic disease with no obvious symptoms at the early stage, so it is usually neglected by patients. When the symptoms appear, the disease is often at the end stage, so the patients have already missed the best treatment period with the renal function already damaged. It is well known that, PKD means that magnitude-varied cysts bestrew around the kidney and the surgery could only make the large cysts resection, while it has no way against the small and deep cysts, which would continuously enlarge after the large cysts have been cut off. So, the surgery cannot solve the problem fundamentally, which result that many patients prefer medications instead of surgery. On this ground, the specialists recommend the Chinese medicine conservative treatment.
As for the treatment of PKD genetic disease, there is no miracle drug as yet at present. Based on the traditional Chinese medicine, the Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovation which would, after the medicine has been ultra-micro smashed, send directly them to the lesion locations by means of penetration instrument. Thus, for the patients with PKD who have a long-term course treatment, the irritation to intestines and stomach could be avoided by oral administration.
By means of skin penetration, the vessels in cysts walls would be dilated and with the acceleration of localized blood circulation, the cyst liquid could be taken away rapidly, meanwhile, the internal pressure of cysts could be reduced and the constant secretion of epithelial cells in cysts walls be inhibited, thus lead to the continuous shrinking of cysts and prevent the enlargement of cysts, thereby, the damage to the inherent cells of kidney could be lessened and the aim of treatment could be achieved.
Along with the extending of time, cysts would continue to grow and enlarge, which not only pull the renal capsule that induces the complaints of waist, but also oppress the normal native cells of kidney that could influence the renal functions even deteriorate into uremia. So, experts suggest that, early detection, early treatment. If only they get the active treatment, the patients can also lead a normal life as the ordinary people.
