Kidney Cyst is a common kidney disease. In the western medicines, there are
not effective treatments except operation and hormonotherapy. However, these two
therapies can only treat the symptoms caused by the disease, but can not treat
the disease from the root. Moreover, hormonotherapy have lots of side effects on
patients. As follows:
1.Infection
Hormone has an effect in restraining immunity so it can treat the diseases
caused by immunity defects fundamentally. However, if patients use hormone for
too long, it can decline their immunity thus causing infections including
bacteria, fungus, tubercle bacillus and other microorganism infections.
2.Hypertension and edema.
Long term using hormone can cause retention of water and sodium thus causing
edema and hypertension. Therefore, during the process of hormonotherapy,
patients should observe closely their body and blood pressure. If necessary, the
patients should use some diuretic and hypotensor.
3.Ulcer
Hormone can increase the secretion of gastric acid and pepsase thus causing
ulcer and even cause ulceration bleeding or perforated ulcer. Therefore,
patients with ulcer should not receive hormonotherapy.
4. Osteoporosis
Hormone can restrain the osteoblast activity and prevent the absorption of
calcium by intestinal tract thus causing osteoporosis. Therefore, if patients
with long term use hormone, especially the elder, they should keep enough
supplement of vitamin D and calcium tablet and electrolyte disturbance.
5. Electrolyte disturbance
Hormone can increase the discharge of potassium thus causing
Hypopotassemia.
6. Hyperlipidaemia
Long term using hormone can cause hyperlipidaemia, which can lead to
atherosclerosis.
7. Hormone makes patients out of shape.
Mass using hormone can do harm to patients’ figure. Many patients will have
skin cracks, moon- shaped face, amyotrophy in their limps and so on,
8. Mental disorder
Patients will have attention-deficit, insomnia and other metal disorders.
9. Steroid glycosuria.
Hormone can affect the utilization rate of sugar by insulin thus causing
neoglycogenesis. As result, it can cause high blood sugar.
The above has introduced the main side affects caused by hormone. In order to
prevent the above harms, patients with Kidney Cyst should choose an appropriate
therapy based on their own disease condition.
