For Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is one type of genetic kidney disease, it
is hard to treat it completely. What we can do is to control the patients'
condition and to prevent it from aggravating. Except the regular treatment, the
mental condition is also very important for the health of patients. Because the
emotional activities have great influence on the occurrence, development and
treatment PKD. Different changes of emotion may lead to the disturbance of organ
function or caused the aggravation of the disease.
Traditional Chinese medicine regards the emotional factor as one of the
pathogenic factors. Because human body is an entirety of organic connections,
the fluctuation of emotion has close relation with the organ activities. The
development of kidney disease also is related to the mental conditions of
patients. This is the reason why some patients' disease develops slowly while
other patients' disease aggravates rapidly. Good emotional condition is helpful
for the regulation and circulation of blood and qi in human body, which will
promote the normal activity of the organs in the body, promote the normal
metabolic of water and the normal excretory function of human body. All of these
are good for the recover of the PKD patients. On the contrary, if patients are
always accompanied with bad emotion, it will lead to the disorder of the
circulation of blood and qi, which will aggravate the condition of patients.
Then how to keep good emotion to promote the recover of disease? On one hand,
patients should set up confidence to conquer this disease. The confidence relies
on an effective and scientific treatment. At present, the most effective
treatment is combining Chinese medicine with western medicine. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, developed by Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital
independently, has the functions of expanding blood vessels and increasing the
blood perfusion of kidney, by which it can improve the systematic
microcirculation, increase the oxygen supply and enhance the metabolism. Thus
this method can enhance the activity of cysts cells and the permeability of
cysts wall and eliminate cysts liquid. At the same time, it can restrain the
cysts wall cells secreting cysts liquid and contract the cysts fundamentally. On
the other hand, patients should do some exercise according to the directions of
doctors.
Some patients think that exercise will do harm to their disease. So
they just keep still everyday. But it is not true. Strenuous exercise is harmful
for the patients, but proper exercise will do good to the patients'
condition.
