Pain in people with PKD can be both acute and chronic, often being difficult
to manage in patients with more serious symptoms. Here, we mainly talk about the
causes ofchronic pain in PKD.
Chronic pain in patients with ADPKD is often caused due to the size of the
kidneys or liver. The size of the kidney can increase up to 20 pounds in an
affected person. The pain in these people can be caused by many reasons.
One obvious cause is the sheer weight of the kidney. The weight may pull back
muscles out of alignment and alter the normal support patterns that these
muscles provide to the spinal column. As a result, there are changes in the
pathways that nerves take as they come out of the spinal column and result in
compression or aggravation of the nerve root.
Besides, back pain in ADPKD may be musculoskeletal, but the primary cause of
the pain may be kidney size.
Pain related to Polycystic Liver Disease frequently expressed as chronic
abdominal discomfort. The cysts formation in the liver can be problematic and
appears across the spectrum of kidney function.
Generally, if the chronic pain is determined due to enlarged kidneys due to
cyst expansion, the doctor often suggest over-the-counter pain medications. For
most but not all cases of severe pain due to kidney expansion, surgery can be
applied to provide temporary relief.
With the advances of modern medical technology and techniques, pain can be
treated effectively with natural treatment. This is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy in China. Under this treatment, patients can get rid of chronic pain
and other discomforts. Moreover, we can prevent the progression of PKD to kidney
failure.
