Polycystic Kidney Disease and Enlarged Kidneys

An enlarged kidney is symptomatic of PKD due to a large number of cysts grow within the kidney. These cysts destroy normal kidney tissue, leading to enlarged kidneys.

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a group of inherited diseases that cause cysts to develop in internal organs, primarily affecting the kidneys. These fluid-filled cysts will grow and multiply over time, causing the kidneys to increase sometimes dramatically in size. Then, kidney function becomes severely impaired.

What do the kidneys do?

Each of us has two bean-shaped kidneys, each the size of a closed fist, located in the middle of the back, below the rib cage. Functions of the kidneys are as below:

▪ Remove waste products from the body;

▪ Balance the body's fluid and electrolytes;

▪ Release hormones (renin) to regulate blood pressure;

▪ Control the production of red blood cells (erythropoietin);

▪ Produce an active form of vitamin D to promote strong and healthy bones.

An enlarged kidney is symptomatic of PKD due to a large number of cysts grow within the kidney. These cysts destroy normal kidney tissue, leading to enlarged kidneys. Complications of PKD include high blood pressure and kidney failure due to progressive loss of function.

Some of the symptoms of kidney failure are fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, dry, itchy skin, metallic taste in the mouth, swelling in feet and ankles, and mild to moderate depression, etc.

Generally, about 50 percent of PKD patients progress to kidney failure or end-stage renal disease by the age of 50, as there is no effective therapy in western medicine which can prevent the development of the disease.

In China, a herbal remedy has been created known as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy is developed by our kidney experts based on more than 20 years' research and expertise in PKD treatment.

Clinical practices have shown that Micro-Chinese Medicine has surprising effects on shrinking the cysts, block further decline of kidney function, impair the damaged kidneys, and help patients to avoid the kidney dialysis and kidney transplant in the future.

Are you still seeking for a natural treatment for your enlarged kidneys caused by PKD? Micro-Chinese Medicine is a good choice.
