Q: I am suffering from PKD and now I am on dialysis three times per week. My
renal functions are 10%. What the benefit if I try Chinese herbal Medicine and
how much renal functions can get back?
A: In your condition that PKD is severe, fully recovery is not possible even
after Chinese herbal medicine. You have already in the end stage of kidney
disease (ESRD) and what Chinese herbs can achieve is to prolong the interval
even to get rid of it.
As for how much renal function can come back after treatment, it is hard to
predict for the final result get various factors involved. However, 10%~20%
improvements is a better output.
You know the renal function losing results from the numerous renal cysts,
thereby the first step is to control the growth of kidney cysts. Chinese herbs
medicine usually are the mixture of many kinds of herbs and some of them can
control the cyst wall to release less liquid or stop it to secrete watery
fluids, thus achieves the goal of stop further renal function reduction.
With the respect of existed renal cysts in PKD which have already form
damages to kidneys, we can not leave it alone for it will keep aggravate kidney
functions.
Chinese herbal medicine can help make a pressure difference between
blood vessels and cyst pocket and thus let cyst fluids flow into blood vessels
which will be carried out through urination eventually. As long as existed renal
cysts shrink to small enough, they won’t hurt kidney functions any more.
When renal cysts are cleared way, Chinese herbal medicine can work better in
increasing renal functions. Through dilating blood vessels, Chinese Herb
medicine can let more oxygen and blood refresh impaired renal tissues. No
wonder, these herbs will bring an improvement of kidneys.
For the dead renal parts which Chinese medicine can not take effects,
Immunotherapy are suggested for PKD, because they can generate into new renal
intrinsic cells to replace their renal functions. Usually the conjunction of
Chinese herbal Medicine and Immunotherapy can improve renal functions of PKD
patients highly. If anyone who wants to know how much renal functions you can
achieve after treatment of the two therapies, you can send your physical test
report to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com for further consultation.
