Do PKD Cysts Break Up and Release in Urine

Persons with PKD have numerous clusters of cysts form on the kidneys. When cysts form in the kidneys, they are filled with fluid. Left untreated, the cysts will continuously become enlarged, and occupy more and more abdominal cavity. Consequently, the pressure in abdominal cavity increases persistently. Even if a mild knock on abdomen can cause the PKD cysts to break up. Besides, the enlarged cysts will oppress the surrounding organs, leading to cyst rupture.
Since there are lots of capillaries under the cyst wall, when the cysts break up, the blood red cells will enter into urinary tract and then be discharged into urine. So, you may detect blood in the urine.
With prompt treatment, blood in urine can easily result in the infection of cysts and enterocoelia, which can further lead to high fever, rapid decline of kidney function and other severe problems. Therefore, once patients detect this symptom, they should go to see a doctor at once.
It should be noticed that cysts break up can result in serious damage to kidney function and even accelerate the progression to Kidney Failure. It is quite essential for patients with PKD to adopt vigorous therapy to prevent enlargement of cysts as soon as possible.
In western countries, patient often believe that there is no other treatment for the disease except dialysis and renal transplantation. Then, they just wait for the illness worsening till it progresses into Kidney Failure.
In China, integrated Western - Chinese medicine is widely used to treat PKD. Western medicine mainly copes with symptoms, while Chinese medicine stops the growth of cysts as well as shrink the large ones naturally. Therefore, we can avoid the cysts break up.
