Is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Dangerous

Many people become very depressed and even distraught when they are told they have Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). They do not know much about it and want to know whether Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is dangerous or not.

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a disorder in kidneys where multiple clusters of cysts are formed on the kidneys. This disorder will pass down through families and the continuous growth of multiple cysts will enlarge the kidneys.

In the early stage of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), the cysts will cause the kidney to swell, pressing the kidney tissues. If the kidney tissues are oppressed for a long time, kidney function will be out of order, thus leading to a series of symptoms like high blood pressure, kidney infection, backache, hematuria (blood in urine) and proteinuria (protein in urine) etc. Many patients will have cysts on their liver as the illness condition progresses.

Polycystic Kidney Disease develops very slowly, and if the cysts grow continuously and can not be controlled, end-stage renal failure can be developed eventually. At this stage, many patients will have to have dialysis to discharge wastes building up in their bodies. Once Polycystic Kidney Disease develops into this stage, it can be life-threatening.

The traditional western treatment is surgery which can be the removal of cysts or the draining of cysts. It can help to control symptoms and prevent complications temporarily. However, because of the faulty genes in the body, cysts will grow out again, which means that patients have to take recurrent surgeries.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, an external treatment method, in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital can treat Polycystic Kidney Disease well. The micro-medicines are permeated into the cysts to get the result of shrinking cysts. What is more, the micro-Chinese Medicines can repair the damaged kidney cells. In this way, the patient's will go better gradually.

Many patients will feel painful even just saying it since they have dealing with PKD for so many years. However, PKD is not that dangerous if the patients receive effective treatment to control the growth of kidney cysts.
