Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is characterized by the pockets of cyst
liquid which locate on kidneys. Due to genetic fault, constant cyst liquid leads
to larger and larger renal cysts which interfere with kidney function.
What does 30% renal functions indicate?
Doctors divide all kidney disease into five stages according to the kidney
function which is indicated by GFR (Glomerular Filter Rate). Here is a reference
for you to figure out the stage that 30% renal function should belong to.
Stage1—signs of mild kidney disease but with normal or better renal
function—GFR greater than 90%
Stage2—mild kidney disease with reduced renal function—GFR 60%~89%
Stage3—moderate chronic renal insufficiency—GFR30%~59%
Stage4—severe chronic renal insufficiency—GFR15%~29%
Stage5—end stage of kidney disease—GFR less than 15%
What should I do for my 30% renal functions caused by PKD (Polycystic Kidney
Disease)?
Before the medical measures are established for your polycystic kidneys, you
should know the key to improve your renal functions. As we know that the
abnormal kidney functions result in the renal cysts. Thereby, stopping renal
cysts to enlarge is the basic goal we should achieve.
Removing renal cysts is a common choice. However, removal of larger cysts
does not mean that the small ones won’t grow up. By far, there is no surgery
which can remove all renal cysts together. Besides, repeated surgeries will
cause the kidney functions falling down rapidly.
Alternative treatment is Traditional Chinese Medicine which can shrink renal
cysts naturally, no matter what the size of renal cysts. Unlike surgery,
Traditional Chinese Medicine forces renal liquid moving to blood vessels and
shrink cysts little by little. It may cost longer time to remove your renal
cysts, however, it won’t cause any trauma for your impaired kidneys.
When renal cysts are controlled, the next step should be the improvement of
kidney function. To revive renal functions, Immunotherapy is a newest method for
PKD patients. After Immunotherapy are implanted in the body, they can move to
renal lesion for its special property called “going-home”. When they find their
locations, they will differentiate numerous new renal cells to refresh your
renal functions.
When PKD patients step into severe condition, some kidney functions will not
reversed, thereby, you are suggested to take treatment as soon as possible. If
