GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) is an indicator of Kidney Functions. As
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) develops, GFR tends to drops gradually. When GFR
is lower than 15, patients need to prepare for dialysis. Kidney functions can
regain and GFR can be improved, if your Polycystic Kidney Disease gets
repair.
How to repair the polycystic kidneys?
Before this question is answered, we should know what determines the amount
of kidney functions at first. There are three kinds of renal cells in the
polycystic kidneys: dead ones, damaged ones and healthy ones. The amount of the
tree kinds of renal cells determine how many kidney functions you have. In other
words, these cells decide your GFR.
If we can transform the dead renal cells and damaged renal cells into healthy
ones, surely kidney functions will get an improvement.
● how to transform dead cells into healthy ones in PKD patients?
We all know that dead things can not revive. It goes to the dead cells.
However, Immunotherapys can replace the dead cells in the human body. In other
words, we can not make the dead renal cells alive, but we can put into new cells
to replace the dead ones. In this way, Immunotherapy can help improve the kidney
functions greatly.
● how to transform damaged cells into healthy ones in PKD patients?
The reason why cells are damages is because cysts suppress the kidney
tissues, leading to insufficient oxygen and blood for renal cells. Herbs, which
are used to dilating blood vessels since 2500 years ago in Ancient China,
contribute to repair the damaged cells into healthy ones. Herbs only benefit the
damaged cells and don’t affect dead ones. In other words, it only refreshes the
kidney functions of damaged cells.
If the damaged and dead cells can revive, kidney functions will surely get an
improvement and GFR will increase to a higher level.
However, if you want to keep the GFR in a high level, you should take
measures in renal cysts. Otherwise, your GFR will be reduced again as the renal
cysts enlarge.
By far, there is no cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease. However, Chinese
herbal medicine is proved to take effects on lining cells. Lining cells works to
secret cyst fluids constantly, which makes cysts keep enlarging. Through
transforming the structure of lining cells, Chinese herbal medicine can stop the
cysts to grow, meantime, it can shrink renal cysts gradually. As long as renal
cysts are not large enough to affect renal cells, surely, your GFR will not
decrease any more.
