Can Polycystic Kidney Disease be Cured by Immunotherapy? The common treatment
for Polycystic Kidney Disease is always surgery to remove the renal cysts and
wait for the relapse. As the disease is known as genetic kidney disease, nobody
is confirmed that the disease can be cured.
Recently, researchers find that the Polycystic Kidney Disease is triggered by
faulty immune system. They find that not everyone who carrys PKD genes will
develop this disease, so there is must other trigger for this. Research said
that all PKD patients have experience the faulty immune system before their
renal cysts develop.
Researchers find that when the immune system is attacked by flu, infection,
bleeding or others, the cysts will develop in kidneys and enlarge day by day.
Once people with PKD suffer from the “strike” to immune system, such as cold,
the renal cysts will grow faster again.
In fact, there is a layer of epithelial lining cells which secrets cyst
fluids constantly. When the immune system fail to work effectively, these cells
will escape the monitor the immunity and generate massively, which generate
large number of cyst fluids, enlarging cysts.
They think that immunotherapy can improve immunity and monitor the lining
cells again to stop the secretion of cyst fluids. As long as the cyst fluids are
controlled, the disease will stop progress.
Meantime, for the existed cysts, they also find method to shrink them
naturally. Why not they just remove the large cysts directly? They said that all
surgical forms cause trauma to the damaged polycystic kidneys. This trauma may
be another trigger to affect the immune system and causes a new generation of
lining cells.
In immunotherapy, they choose some specific herbs which can take effects on
lining cells and change these cells’ structure. As a result, these cells don’t
secret the cyst fluids, in the contrary, they absorb the cyst fluids back to
blood and carry it from the urine.
Immunotherapy can stop the cysts to grow and shrink the existed cysts. Over
time, Polycystic Kidney Disease patient can live a normal life. This is why some
researchers speak highly of the immunotherapy and regard it as the cure for
Polycystic Kidney Disease.
