Causes and Treatment for Hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Hematuria is one of the main symptoms for Polycystic Kidney Disease and is also what most patients are concerned about. Then how does hematuria appear? How to treat hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease? In the following passage,we will focus on the causes and treatment for hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Causes for Hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease

For patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, usually there exist multiple cysts of various sizes in the kidneys; Over time, the cysts increase in number and augment in size, leading the kidneys to getting increased in size and heavy in weight. As a result of the pressure of the cysts on the kidneys, renal hypoxia and anoxia develops, which may lead to high blood pressure and increase the possibility of cyst rupture. Caused by the augmented cysts or other factors such as combined kidney stones, infections and crashes, the cyst get ruptured, leading to hematuria. Generally hematuria may last for one to several days, and there may be microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria with urine pink, red or brown-red colors.

In case hematuria appears, patients should take a positive treatment and necessary nursing measures which may include prevention of infections, diet controlling, avoid strenuous exercise and so on.

Treatment for hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Hematuria is a result of the pressure of continuously growing cysts on the kidneys, therefore, the proper treatment should be aimed at preventing the cysts from growing and shrinking the cysts. More than surgeries, we recommend a conservative therapy which requires no surgeries and can treat the cysts without bring side effects. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is just such a therapy. The functioning mechanism of this osmosis therapy in treating Polycystic Kidney Disease can be summarized from two aspects:

1. Soften cyst wall, improve circulatory disturbance between blood vessels and the cyst, increase permeability on cyst wall, prevent cyst epithelial cells from secreting; therefore, the cyst can be controlled from growing.

2. Accelerate blood circulation by expanding blood vessels so as to improve renal anoxia and hypoxia, decrease blood pressure in the cysts and lead cyst liquid to being excreted out with urine.Consequently the cysts can be shrinked.

As long as the cysts can be well controlled and shrinked, hematuria and pains related to cyst rupture can also be well controlled.
