“Bleeding” Caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease

Many patients with the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have the symptom of “bleeding”. In fact, the “bleeding” symptom is that there is blood in the urine, which is called “hematuria” in clinical. Usually, hematuria is caused by the burst of the cysts.

With the enlargement of the cysts, there will be the risk of the burst of the cysts when the cysts are larger than 4cm. once the cysts ruptured, this may cause infections and even may cause ichorrhemia. Besides, massive haemorrhage may cause the hemorrhagic shock. The size of the kidney will enlarge with the growth of the cysts, which will gradually compress the normal renal tissues and cause the discomfort of the back and abdomen. With the progression of the disease, the long-time compression of the renal tissue may damage the renal function. The early symptoms may be hypertension, and then there will be abnormal symptoms of urine test, such as proteinuria and hematuria. At this time, these symptoms will make it difficult to treat the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Therefore, it is very important for patients to find and treat this disease as early as possible.

For the treatment of the symptom of hematuria caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease, it is more difficult because of its relapse. To treat hematuria effectively, we must proceed from the multi-aspects: first, prevent from infections after the hematuria. Because hematuria can easily cause the renal infections, if we can prevent from the infections well, it may cause sustained fever, systemic edema, renal swelling and even the sharp decline of renal function. All of these may lead to the aggravation of the disease. Second, during the treatment of hematuria, we should pay attention to the degree of anemia. If the patients have the symptom of anemia originally, they should enrich the blood supply early. Third, oral Chinese medicine has a good effect on the repeated hematuria.
