Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) caused by faulty genes, which are divided
into ADPKD and ARPKD. With the increase of renal cysts in number and in size,
PKD will cause many severe effects on kidneys.
Kidney damages. As the growth of kidney cysts, they will squeeze the nearby
renal tissue and absorb nutrition from the kidneys. As a result, renal intrinsic
cells can be damaged and the kidney functions will function abnormally. Common
signs can be blood in urine and proteinuria when renal cysts hurt renal
filtering membrane.
Kidney enlargement. The enlarging cysts will lead to enlarged kidneys and the
large size of kidneys will cause pain in back, in flank, in abdomen etc.
Besides, cyst enlargement makes the cyst wall thinner and thinner, in which way,
cyst rupture may occur at any time.
Complications. PKD usually can take effects in kidney functions and leads a
series of complications and the major ones are high blood pressure and high
creatinine level. Healthy kidneys play a great role in regulating blood volume.
When it gets damages, it will secrete renin, which can contract blood vessels
after break down. Creatinine is the waste products of muscle metabolism which
should be filtered out by kidneys. When renal cysts cause kidney dysfunctions,
creatinine will build up in the body and lead to high creatinine level.
Renal Failure. PKD is a genetic kidney disease. As long as cyst wall keep
secreting fluids, renal cysts will sustain growing up and destroy more and more
kidney function, whose final output is renal failure.
Dialysis and kidney transplant. When patients step into kidney failure step,
too much toxins deposit in the body and create many poisoning phenomena. If your
GFR (Glomerular Filtering Rage) is less than 15, you are the candidate for
dialysis which is hard to get rid of or kidney transplant which hardly to get a
right match.
The growth of kidney cyst causes the whole effects on kidneys, so if we can
stop the enlargement, patients won’t suffer a lot. Surgery surely can remove
some larger cysts right away, but it will make more space for the small one to
grow rapidly. To halt the enlargement, the key is to stop the cyst fluid
secreting.
Natural herbs remedy can take effects on cyst walls and achieve the
goal.
Meantime, it can shrink the renal cysts in size and in number, as well as
improve your kidney functions. By far, herbal medicine is an approbatory
treatment for many PKD families. If you are interested, you can mail to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com for more information.
