Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease has an estimated prevalence of one case in
every 500 people, affecting approximately 600,000 Americans and as many as four
to six million people worldwide. The newest treatment for Adult Polycystic
Kidney Disease is Immunotherapy, which makes a new breakthrough in Adult
Polycystic Kidney disease treatment.
What’s immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy refers to the treatment which reverses the disease by
regulating and improving the immune system.
Does Adult Polycystic Kidney disease relate to immune system disorder?
Adult Polycystic Kidney disease is not a kind of immune disease, but its
progression relates closely to the immune system.
Not everyone who carries the Adult Polycystic Kidney disease genes will
develop into Adult Polycystic Kidney disease. However, once the people with
Adult Polycystic Kidney disease genes get the harm to their immune system, such
as cold, flu, infections or bleeding etc. The lining cells associated with the
cysts will escape the monitor of immune system, which will proliferate greatly
and fast. The lining cells is the birthplace of renal cysts where generate the
cyst fluids constantly.
As long as we can control lining cells, the renal cysts will stop to
grow.
How does immunotherapy affect the Polycystic Kidney Disease?
There are four steps for the immunotherapy in treating Polycystic Kidney
Disease.
● Control the symptoms of the Adult Polycystic Kidney disease to earn more
time for the rest steps.
● Stop the growth of renal cysts. Immunotherapy can improve the immune system
and strengthen its monitor to lining cells. In this way, lining cells will stop
proliferation, thus the cysts will discontinue to enlarge.
● Shrink the renal cysts naturally. Immunotherapy can change the structure of
lining cells and make these cells to absorb instead of secreting the cyst
fluids. Speechless to say, renal cysts will shrink little by little. As
immunotherapy takes effects on all sized cysts, it rarely leads to relapse of
renal cysts.
● Improve kidney functions. Besides, shrinking renal cysts, immunotherapy
also can eliminate inflammation, cleanse away harmful substances and widen blood
vessels, thereby, it can provide a favorable environment for damaged kidney
tissues to self-cure, so as to improve kidney functions.
In fact, as long as the renal cysts keep within a small size and the kidney
function can be improved. Surely people with Adult Polycystic Kidney disease can
live a normal life.
