Q: My Grandpa is quite ill because of PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease). He has
undergone 3 dialysis but his condition worsens after dialysis. Can you tell me
why?
A: PKD is known as a common genetic kidney disease. As renal cysts grow up,
they will take up more space in abdominal cavity. Thereby, kidney tissue will be
oppressed by enlarged renal cysts. Overtime, kidney loses its normal functions
and many toxins build up in the body. When PKD develops into Renal Failure,
doctors may recommend dialysis to patients.
Dialysis can help remove the wastes and toxins from body which can release
patient’s poison condition in a short time. In emergency condition or in severe
cases, dialysis is a necessary treatment for PKD patients.
As for why patients become weaker after dialysis, this is because dialysis is
not the real kidneys, after all, so it can not distinguish the waste and
nutrition substance. As a result, many necessary materials, such as mineral
matter, will be filtered out together with toxins.
Besides, dialysis takes no effects in renal functions. In other words, it
replaces the discharge function of kidneys, but doesn’t help kidneys to all its
functions back. Impaired kidneys get no remedy during the duration of dialysis,
there is no wander they will keep lose its functions.
Nephrologists say, when patients depend on dialysis, their kidneys do not
work which make the two organs “rotten”, thereby, kidneys worsen faster than
before. This is way, many patients become weaker after dialysis treatment.
As for PKD patients, their declined kidney functions result from the enlarged
renal cysts. So the key of treatment is to control the enlargement of renal
cysts instead of kidney replacement remedy only. The scientific stages for PKD
should include as follows:
● Control the growth of kidney cysts. As long as kidney cysts stop to grow,
no further damages will happen to kidneys.
● Remove kidney cysts naturally. As kidneys are damaged by kidney cysts, any
trauma to kidneys will surely worse kidney functions, thereby, renal cysts
should be shrinked naturally.
● Improve kidney functions. After polycystic kidneys are tackled, kidney
functions should get an improvement. In this way, kidneys can filter out toxins
and regulate blood volume by their own. Needless to say, you will get rid of
dialysis in this condition. Let alone becoming weaker, after dialysis. If you
