High blood pressure is quite common among patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD). In most cases, patients take antihypertensive medicines to deal
with the problem, only to find the medicines seem to be not effective enough.
Actually, the extent of high blood pressure is closely linked to the
progressively developing cysts in kidneys. Patients with Polycystic Kidney
Disease need to pay attention to high blood pressure by understanding what
hypertension indicates and bad results accompanied or caused by high blood
pressure.
For patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD), cyst epithelial cells are
activated and are qualified with secreting abilities, for which cysts grow
without stop. Initial small cysts can cause slight or no elevated high blood
pressure and other symptoms. Over time, grown up severe cysts oppress kidney
functional tissues, leading to insufficient oxygen and blood supply of kidney.
The result is severe: kidneys get damaged, which is accompanied by high blood
pressure, waist or back pain, hematuria, increased chances of cyst rupture and
infections.
High blood pressure can aggravate the overall condition for patients with
Polycystic Kidney Disease from several aspects: firstly, high blood pressure can
deteriorate kidney damage and speed up progression of kidney function decline;
secondly, high blood pressure would impair the blood vessels of heart and brain,
causing severe complications such as stroke.
Besides, high blood pressure develops and aggravates together with cyst
growth. Caused by increased cyst internal pressure, chances of cyst rupture
greatly climbs: even what seemingly a small tension or crash may possibly lead
the cyst to rupture and hemorrhage. In this condition, patients can experience
aggravated waist or back pains, blood in urine. More severely, ruptured
hemorrhagic cyst is often combined with infections, which can not be easily
treated through traditional symptom-targeted medicines.
High blood pressure is an external symptom of unremitting cyst augment,
therefore, a fundamental way to relieve high blood pressure and kidney damage is
to shrink and control the cyst by reabsorption of cyst liquid and inactivation
of cystic epithelial cells, which, if can be done successfully, kidney function
can be effectively recovered and symptoms such as high blood pressure, pains,
cyst rupture and cyst relapse can all be effectively controlled.
The answer can be found here in this hospital. By extracting essence of
traditional Chinese herbs of kidney disease, Micro-Chinese Osmotherapy can
achieve goals of shrinking and controlling the cysts by inactivation of cyst
epithelial cells and reabsorption of cyst fluid. With cysts effectively
controlled, symptoms including high blood pressure can gradually remit and renal
tissues can be repaired.
