Polycystic Kidney Disease with Hemodialysis Treatment

Nearly half of persons with Polycystic Kidney Disease will have to undergo a lifetime of dialysis, as kidney mass is replaced with cysts and the organs cease to function. How about hemodialysis treatment for PKD?

When should patient start dialysis?

When the kidneys fail to work adequately, the body cannot filter the toxins from the body. Over time, the toxins will build up in the various cells and tissues, resulting in a severe condition- Uremia. And, there is excess fluid in the tissues of the body as well as anemia and electrolyte imbalances. Untreated, it can be potentially fatal. Dialysis such as hemodialysis is the basic treatment. Generally, patients are recommended to start dialysis when the kidney function falls to 15% of less.

What is hemodialysis treatment?

Hemodialysis uses an artificial kidney machine to filter and cleanse a person's blood. A permanent tube, or port, may be placed in patient's leg or arm which enables them to be connected to the machine. The blood is pumped out of the body and through the machine, where it is filtered and cleansed; then returned back into the body via specialized tubing. In most cases, patients receive this procedure 2 to 3 times per week and observe a strict diet, fluid intake, and exercise program.

Once patients are on hemodialysis, will their Polycystic Kidneys get better?

The kidney damage in people with PKD is continuous and progressive over a number of years, and the kidneys usually do not get better. The treatment do nothing to prevent the cyst enlargement and restore the damaged renal function. Actually, patients have other better treatment option in China.
