Nine Killers impair Your Kidney Function

To prevent senilism, modern people need to do more exercises and nourish our body in time to improve renal insufficient and senile symptoms. Excluding those feeble patients, people should tonify kidney with a mild measure according to seasons, body condition and climate. And it is better to follow doctor’s instruction.
According to western medicine, kidney is an important organ to secrete urine, discharge waste and toxin. It can regulate electrolytic concentration in human body, and sustain acid-base equilibrium. With the aggravation of renal injure, Renal Secretion and regulation function will decline. When kidneys are damaged seriously, Uremia occurs, which threaten patient’s life.

With age growing, kidney function declines gradually. While in daily life, some bad habits or behaviors also can injure renal function.

For protect people kidney, people should be cautious about following points:

1. Abusing Chinese herbal medicine.

In recent years, it is found in Clinical practices that some Chinese herbal medicine, including Chinese patent medicine, can cause renal damage. Such medicines include caulis aristolochiae manshuriensis, thunder god vine, semen pharbitidis, cocklebur, poppy capsule, birthwort root, aristolochia fangchi etc. Among them, thunder god vine damage kidney most seriously, and caulis aristolochiae manshuriensis follows. The reason why caulis aristolochiae manshuriensis damage kidney is a kind of nephrotoxic material, aristolochic acid.

2. Abusing analgesic

Long term application or large dosage of anti-inflammation and analgesic medicine, like painkiller, indomethacin, paracetamol and aspirin etc, easily damage kidney. Renal damage manifested by fatigue, inappetence, frequent micturition, urgent urination, odyuria and even blood urine and sterile pyuria, accompanying with symptoms like arthralgia etc. Some times, it can directly cause Acute Nephritis or Glomerulus Necrosis and other kidney syndromes, Even Renal Failure, which threaten patient’s life .

3. Holding back urine frequently.

People usually hold back urine when they are busy for work. Bacteria are prone to propagate if urine stays in bladder for long. Bacteria can back to bladder through ureters, which causes urinary tract infection and Pyelonephritis. Once the repetition occurs, Chronic infection will happen and can not be cured easily. Patients have pain on back, frequent urination and urgent urination etc, or even Acute Uremia.

4. Drinking less water

Urine volume will decrease if people drink less water, and concentration of waste and toxin carried in blood will increase. Kidney Stone and Hydronephrosis and other common clinical symptoms have close relations with drinking less water. Drinking more water can dilute urine, protect kidney and is helpful to discharge waste and toxins.

5. Engorgement

Nowadays, people have more chance to dine together and take excessive delicious food which will be finally metabolized into wastes, like uric-acid and urea nitrogen etc. And these wastes are excreted out of body by kidney, so excessive diet will burden kidney.

6. Drinking beverage excessively

Excessive intake of soft drink and sport beverage can damage kidney indirectly. Because Ph value in human body is 7.2, however, these drinks are usually acid and Ph value in human body changes dramatically after drinking beverages. Kidney is the main organ to regulate acid-base equilibrium in human body. Excessive drinking soft and sport beverages for long can add kidney’s burden and increase the probability of kidney damage.

7. Eating floppy bread

There is an additive of potassium bromate in bread and cookie, and this additive can provide toasted food with necessary gluten intensity and flexibility which smell a mellow flavor. However, excessive intake of this additive can damage central nervous system, blood and kidney. Potassium bromate, as a food additive, has been listed as a carcinogen by international cancer research institute.

8. Too salty diet

Some snacks contain high salt, for example, fried chips, instant noodles, people will intake excess salt unconsciously by eating them, which can cause blood pressure increase, blood flow volume in kidney can not be sustained then kidney disease occurs.

9. Drink strong tea after liquoring


Some people think drinking strong tea after liquoring can relieve alcohol, actually, this is not effective and can damage kidney. Theophylline in tea can affect kidney rapidly, and exploit its diuresis function. At that moment, Alcohol has not been decomposed yet when they are secreted from kidney, which makes kidney stimulated by massive ethanol and renal function gets damaged.

Characteristic Treatment of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a kind of hereditary Kidney Disease. Cysts with various size form in unilateral or bilateral kidneys, growing with age. When these cysts grow and increase to a certain degree, they begin to compress kidneys, which can start the process of renal fibrosis and lead to renal injury.

Due to the strong compensatory ability, kidney can operate normally in the early stage of Kidney Disease. For this reason, many Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients seldom have obvious symptoms in early stage, which is also the reason why the disease is always neglected by most patients. Therefore, when patients are tested out this disease, most of their kidneys have been already injured seriously.

China Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital has developed a distinctive treatment, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy combined with Immunotherapy, to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). It has been proved by clinical practice that this treatment has an excellent effect on treating Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) indeed.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is developed on the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has solved the problems of less effective absorption and low effect process in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Micronized Chinese Medicine is so tiny that it can permeate into renal lesions by an external application on kidney region on patients’ back. After entering into patients’ body, Micro-Chinese Medicine can shrink existing cysts, reduce cyst fluid secretion and block Renal Fibrosis by improving kidney blood circulation and inhibiting activity of epithelial cells on cyst wall, which can repair injured kidney radically. Though Micro-Chinese Medicine can repair kidney effectively, it can not create new healthy nephron. Therefore, our hospital adopts Immunotherapy to cover this shortage.

Immunotherapy can differentiate into necessary cells that injured tissue needs and repair injured kidney at the same time, so as to get maximum effect with minimum injury. This is in accordance with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Besides the advantages of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy mentioned above, another important point should be mentioned is that some compositions of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can play a guiding role after Immunotherapy are transfused into patients’ body, which can lay a good foundation for Immunotherapy.

From the above, it can be found that the treatment of Micro-Chinese Medicine combined with Immunotherapy has incomparable advantages of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Abdominal Masses of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Patients

Why abdominal masses can be tested out among Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients? Generally speaking, Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease which is autosomal dominant inheritance is mainly caused by various sized cysts formed in renal parenchyma. When cysts are still few and small, kidney volume can be normal. With cysts growing and increasing, kidney volume increases at the same time. The largest sick kidney may be more than 40cm and heavier than 8kg. Bilateral kidneys can enlarge to asymmetrical sizes. With kidney enlarging, related symptoms and functions aggravate gradually. The symptom of abdominal masses of Polycystic Kidney Disease is mainly caused by enlarged kidneys. When kidney enlarges to certain degree, masses can be touched on abdomen. 50% to 80% Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients can be touched abdominal masses on bilateral abdomen, and 15% to 30% patients can have unilateral abdominal masses. When touched, kidney shows close texture with nodular shape, moving with breath. Pressing pain can be felt if there is complicated infection.

When Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients get abdominal masses, they should go to hospital for a whole body check with the purpose of observing illness condition. Active and timely treatment is the best choice for Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients.


Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is an effective treatment of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is suggested to PKD patients. This treatment can treat Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) starting with shrinking cysts and reduce cyst fluid secretion by improving kidney blood circulation and inhibiting cyst growing. After many years of practice, this treatment has gained excellent effect in clinical treatment process.

New Treatment of Renal Fibrosis

After many years of scientific and clinical research, China Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital has developed Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is a great breakthrough of blocking Renal Fibrosis. Based on prescriptions of Traditional Chinese Medicine, special effect of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy was found in application process of micronized Chinese Medicine. Though clinical observation, it is found that Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has several disadvantages of quick recovery, long-lasting effect and less recurrence in the process of treating poisoning symptoms of Kidney Disease patients. In further observation, micronized Chinese Medicine contains massive active substances which have the following characteristics and functions:

Firstly, function of eliminating activity of nephrotoxic factors: after entering into patients’ body, active substances of Chinese Medicine can eliminate activities of factors that can cause Renal Fibrosis. These substances can also promote phenotype reversion of injured renal cells. Besides, active substances can block Renal Fibrosis caused by nephrotoxic factors and other pathogenic factors, preventing kidney being injured further.

Secondly, function of speeding up Myofibroblast apoptosis: Active substances can combined with immune complex and Myofibroblast closely and eliminate them in order to prevent them synthesizing collagen which is difficult to be degraded.
Thirdly, function of degrading Extracellular Matrix: active substances can improve secretion of degrading enzymes of body connective tissue and active the function of these degrading enzymes. Finally, it can reduce formation of Extracellular Matrix.


Fourthly, function of improving injured kidney recovery: active substances of Chinese Medicine can provide beneficial environment for kidney recovery through methods of dilating renal arteries at all levels, improving kidney local microcirculation and relieve the condition of renal ischemia. Micronized Chinese Medicine contains rich vitamins, amino acids and trace elements, all of which are necessary for kidney recovery and improve the process of kidney recovery. Besides, active substances can promote synthesis of sulfate heparin on glomerular basement membrane and inhibit sulfate heparin degradation. Meanwhile, these active substances can repair charge barrier of glomerulus and recover renal function gradually.

What Should Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease Care About

It is rare to happen for Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) in the clinical, and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a hereditary disease which may occur in any ages, usually this disease has a family history. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients must do thoughtful jobs to prevent its occurrence usually. Then what should Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients do to prevent this disease? What is helpful for its treatment and recovery? The below are some instructions:

1. Controlling the blood pressure

Most of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients have Hypertension before renal function damage, it is regarded that Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) has attacked already. The occurrence of Hypertension can accelerate the damage of renal function. Meanwhile, Hypertension can cause cardiovascular lesion, and severe complications like stoke caused by Cerebral Hemangioma. Therefore, to manage blood pressure controlling is vital to prevent complications and defer the aggravation of renal function.

2. Controlling the diet

Reasonable diet for Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients is very important to control the aggravation of renal function damage. It is advisable to take diet with low salt, 2-3 g every day, patients should eat little food with Potassium and Phosphor and eat more food with low fat, low protein and take food rich in vitamins and crude fiber, keep defecation unobstructed.

3. Preventing cold

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients are painful really because this disease has some differences with other Kidney Diseases. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a hereditary disease in life, that is, this disease will haunt patients in his whole life. The objective reality that swollen cysts grow increasingly can not be evaded, even though you give much attention to it and family members provide you so much care. At this time, if patients suffer from cold, especially repetitive cold, the damage of renal function can be aggravated. That can speed up the damage of renal function.

4. Preventing trauma


With cysts swelling increasingly, cyst internal pressure will be enforced constantly, which impels the kidneys enlarge and adds enterocoelia internal pressure. Any slight trauma like sprain, bumping, falls etc can add enterocoelia internal pressure. External forces and wounds shock swelling cysts directly so as to make the cysts with high internal pressure rupture and bleed, which is readily to induce infection.

Treatment of Complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease

A series of complications may occur, if no immediate or no proper treatment conducted during the attack of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). In this case, complications should be treated immediately and the chief methods of treatment Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) compose of following kinds:

Firstly, Cysts Decortication

This treatment can reduce cysts pressure to renal parenchyma, and protect most of the remaining nephrons from being squeezed and further damage, which improve the renal ischemia and recover part of the renal function so as to defer the progression of disease. The crux to succeed in operation is to conduct operation as early as possible, eliminate cysts’ pressure thoroughly, and not to leave alone those small and in-depth cysts’ eradication. Bilateral kidneys should be operated and the interval time between two operations is over half a year. It is meaningless to take this approach, if Renal Failure has occurred to patients, say, Azotemia and Uremia, because operation trauma can aggravate the disease.

Secondly, Treatment of Hematuria

In case of Hematuria, patients should decrease activities or stay in bed, in addition to ascertaining the etiology and treatment. Patients who have taken dialysis or are to get dialysis can adopt operation of renal arterial embolism, if Hematuria reoccurs severely and can not be controlled

Thirdly, General Treatment

Most patients need not to change their life style and restrict their activities. However, patients with obvious swollen cysts should pay attention to preventing abdominal trauma, so as to avoid cyst rupture. Corresponding treatment should be conducted once Renal Failure and Uremia occurs to Patients.

Fourthly, Treatment of Hypertension

The activation of Renal ischemia and renin-angiotension-aldosterone system is the main reason to cause Hypertension, in this case, hypotensive agents can be applied.

Fifthly, Dialysis and Transplant

Dialysis can be conducted immediately if patients developed into End Stage Renal Failure. And hemoialysis is their first choice. The survival rate of cysts’ transplant is similar to other transplant, but the transplant effect can be affected with other complications, which increases the difficulty to handle after the transplant.

Sixthly, Treatment of Urinary Tract Stones

It can be handled as per the position and size of urinary tract stones.

Seventhly, Treatment of Infection

Infection of renal parenchyma and cysts internal infection are the main types. Usually combined antibiotics are adopted to treat them usually.

Eighthly, Chinese medicine


Reportedly, Chinese medicine with effect to spleen and improve urine can defer the progression of disease.

Hypertension and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

What is the sophisticated relationship between Hypertension and Polycystic Kidney Disease? Everybody knows that Hypertension is easy to cause cerebrovascular disease and cardiovascular disease. Actually, Hypertension is also closely related with Kidney Disease. Well then, what is the relationship between Hypertension and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?

Medical research has shown that Hypertension usually causes renal injury, and contrarily, renal injury can also cause Hypertension. Both of them affect each other, resulting in vicious circulation easily. Most patients pay less attention on treating Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) after they were told that this disease is a kind of genetic disease. Usually for this reason, this disease always develops into the most serious stage of Kidney Disease, Uremia stage, unconsciously.

Polycystic Kidney Disease has a progressive development and usually occurs among adult people, with abnormal proliferation of renal tubular epithelial cells as its dominant characteristic. When renal tubular epithelial cells turn into cystic epithelial cells, they begin to have secreting ability and keep secreting fluid more and more, but there is no normal way to excrete increasing fluid. For this reason, cysts grow bigger and bigger with time passing. When cysts grow to some certain degree, they will replace healthy renal tissue. Then renal function declines gradually. At this moment, Hypertension and routine urine test abnormality appear in clinical observation.

The medicine that Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients take may even cause damage to injured kidney due to nephrotoxicity. Besides, most patients who suffer from Hypertension usually go to hospital for cardiovascular tests directly instead of kidney routine tests. Therefore, kidney injury can not be found in time, which is one of main causes of Uremia.

If blood pressure can not be controlled effective, it can damage kidney. Meanwhile, Hypertension may develop into Hypertensive Nephropathy. Kidney is an internal organ consisting of countless micro blood vessels, and kidney internal mini arteries may be hardened if Hypertension can not be controlled in a long term. This is also the reason why most Hypertension patients have kidney injury. If such injury can not be treated in time, it will cause glomerular sclerosis, renal interstitial fibrosis, or even Renal Insufficiency and Uremia finally.


Contrarily, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) can also cause Hypertension. The more serious kidney injury is, the high blood pressure is. In late stage of Renal Failure, 80% patients get obvious Hypertension.

How Does Chinese Medicine Doctor Make A Diagnosis

“Four methods of diagnosis” of Chinese Medicine was known as looking, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking. Human body is an organic integration, and local pathological change can affect the whole body. For example, pathological changes of internal organs can be reflected by face as well as arms and legs. Therefore, through the four diagnosing methods of looking, listening and smelling, questioning, and pulse-taking, doctors can find symptoms of each aspect, knowing the causes, nature and internal connection of the disease, which make contribution to choose treatment based on syndrome differentiation in next step.

Method of looking: this means doctors use eyes to observe patients whole body and local change of appearance and figure. Through massive medical practices, Chinese Medicine realized that the outside part of body, especially face and tongue, is related with internal organs closely. Once internal organs are sick, there must be related reflection appeared in body surface. Therefore, through the method of looking, doctors can know the internal pathological change of internal organs. For example, though some patients are looked like to have more serious illness condition, they still have exuberated Qi if they have good spirit. Such patients can have a better therapeutic effect than those who have gloomy spirit condition. Colors of face can also show pathological changes of different internal organs. Green, red, yellow, white, and black correspond to liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney. If face color looks green, it may refer to liver pathological change, while yellow may refer to pathological change of spleen.

Method of listening and smelling: this means that doctors listen to patients’ voice and breathe by ears and smell patients’ body or patients’ excrement. All these are valuable to distinguish patients’ illness condition.

Method of questioning: it is very important in clinical practice of Chinese Medicine. When the disease happens? What are the causes and process of this disease? Do patients have any other disease before? Where is the painful position? How about patients’ living diet habit? All these factors related with disease can be get through asking patients or their relatives.

Method of pulse-taking: this means touching patients’ body with hands. Doctors touch or press some certain parts of patients in order to know more about illness condition. It can be divided into pulse-taking and palpation.


These four methods are an integrated whole, and they must be combined organically in clinical prognosis. Besides, disease usually has complex manifestations and the disease and its related manifestations are different. At this moment, doctors’ experience is important to make a correct diagnosis.

What Is the Characteristic of Cysts’ Growth in Polycystic Kidney Disease

For Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease,cysts’ growth features as below aspects:

I. Different disease time

Different individuals of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) get attacked at different time, because of different environment, constitution and genes. Even though patients from the same family in which family members usually have the same assignment of genes, they are attacked at different time. It is also reported that the attacking age of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) tends to be younger in each subsequent generation, that is, children get disease at earier time than their parents.

II. The Number of cysts increases gradually

According to the evaluation, about 1%-5% of nephrons produce cysts under the function of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) genes. Each kidney has 100-200 million of nephrons, so we could calculate how many cysts will occur. But all the potential cysts occur successively other than at the same time under various conditions. The number of cysts grows rapidly once the appearance of cyst.

III. Grown cysts enlarge continuously

Hyperplasia occurs as cystic genes affect epithelial cell of kidney tubule, and it can block the lumen of kidney tubule. Besides, cystic genes can change the status of basement membrane of kidney tubule. There are two reasons which arouse formed cyst to enlarge increasingly. On one hand, primary urine filtrated by glomerulus can enter into cysts, on the other, epithelial cell of cysts secrete liquid continuously.

IV. Cysts grow at an unbalanced speed


Due to infection, bad diet, sentimental disorder, toxic touchment, improper activity, fatigue and other factors, two stages of cyst development, active phase and stable phase, appears. This means that cyst can grow fast sometimes, but stably and slowly in some other period.

Clinical Care of Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease in Different Stages

For patientts with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), they need different cares in different stages. And the care to them is directly related with the progression of treatment. Regard with the clinical care for PKD patients, we give you instructions as below.

I. Cares to PKD patients who have no renal function damage:

When PKD is figured out in the hospital check-up, doctors is obligatory to let patients know this disease is a hereditary disease and other related knowledge. As for PKD patients who are pregnant, they need to take an antenatal check after pregnancy; patients who have no renal function damage or other obvious symptoms need to take regular follow-up visit and learn the progression of renal function; patients should avoid collision and squeeze and do not take part in severe activities, and they should also prevent Hematuria and urinary tract infection, take reasonable diet and have a regular life. Besides, it is also helpful to take proper exercises, combine rest and work, quit smoking and liquor and handle life and body correctly.

II. Cares to patients who is in renal function compensatory stage accompanying with Hypertension.

When the disease develops into compensatory stage, accompanying with Hypertension, patients can take hypotensive agents. Meanwhile, they should take diet with low salt and low fat, qualified protein. Patients should have more rest and prevent fatigue, cold, urinary and intestinal tract infection. Besides, patients should take renal function test and urine routine test regularly. Due to cysts growth, nephrons decrease gradually and renal function declines correspondingly. Cysts rupture and renal stone can cause bleeding within kidney, presenting as gross Hematuria which is usually fresh red or soy color. Blood is a nutritious fostering agent for inflammation, which may cause severe urinary tract infection. Therefore, patients should stay in bed and take antibotic to treat inflammation and stanch blood in early stage of bleeding.

III. Cares to patients who is in early or middle stage of Chronic Renal Failure
Patients should avoid taking nephrotoxic medicine, like Gentamycin, Kanamyci, Cefradine, Vancomycin and Indomethacin etc, These medicines can directely damage renal parenchyma and aggravate renal function because primary elements in most of these medicines are discharged through kidney. Renal excretion becomes slow as renal insufficiency happens. In other words, the dosage of medicine increases virtually. Therefore, it is advisable to reduce dosage or extend the interval time between drug administrations according to the extent of Renal Insufficiency.

IV. Cares to patients who is in End Stage Uremia


Due to the big volume of cysts, it is difficult for patients to take peritonial dialysis, so hemodialysis is mainly applied in patients with End Stage Uremia at present.

Consultation from Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Patient

Patient: I have suffered from Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) for about ten years and the largest cyst is 4cm. Now I have got more serious pain on waist and higher creatinine than before. Doctors told me that if I do not accept operation, this disease can develop into Uremia. However, my doctor also said that operation can not treat my disease completely. Is it real? I am so scared. Please give me some suggestions.

Expert Answer: 4cm is not small among cysts. Generally, your disease has already developed into Renal Insufficiency which is mainly caused by too much cystic pressure on renal tissue. You mentioned your creatinine is increasing. This always means your half of your kidneys is injured by cysts. The key of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease is to prevent it developing. Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of congenital genetic disease. It is usually found at the end stage and renal function decline is more common 10 years after this disease was found.

Well then, how to prevent this disease happening? Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has its distinctive effect on block the process of this disease developing. This treatment can shrink cysts, which can reduce cystic pressure on renal parenchyma. Only by this way, glomerular ischemia and anoxia can be relived radically. Then Renal Fibrosis can be blocked, preventing this disease developing into Uremia Stage.

Renal Tissue Infection in Polycystic Kidney Disease

What are the damages of renal tissue infection to Polycystic Kidney Disease patients? Such infections usually refer to inflammation and infection caused by cyst rupture or cyst fluid that permeates into renal tissue.

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of genetic disease. According to the genetic features, it can be divided into Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease and Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease, and the former one is more common.
Cysts exist when patients were born. With time passing, it may occur and develop when patients become adults. Most patients are expressed by bilateral kidneys abnormality, with unequal pathological change.

Cysts with various sizes spread over the whole kidney. There are urinelike liquid in cysts. When there is bleeding or infection, cysts will show different shapes. When cysts grow into some certain degree, cyst rupture may happen, which can induce inflammation and infection.

Polycystic Kidney Disease patients should take anti-infection treatment in order to control inflammation. One point should be noted that inflammation in Polycystic Kidney Disease is related with cysts. Therefore, patients should accept treatment to control cyst growth and shrink cysts in order to prevent cyst rupture, which can avoid inflammation and infection effectively.

Combination of Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine is suggested to control cyst growth. Our hospital adopts Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease. This treatment can repair injured renal inherent cells, block renal fibrosis and degrade Extracellular Matrix through methods of dilating blood vessel, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation and degradation. It has gained good effect in clinical practice.

Should PKD Patients Abstain from Alcohol

Is it necessary for PKD patients to abstain from alcohol? Most PKD patients who are fund of alcohol usually ask this question. As for this question, specialists on Kidney Disease warn that PKD patients must get away from alcohol in order to protect their healthy. Drinking can cause many adverse impacts on PKD patients’ health.

After research, scientists found that liquor, especially white wine, should be forbidden firstly for patients who suffer from Polycystic Kidney Disease due to strong stimulation of liquor to kidneys. Alcohol can stimulate the activity of Polycystin directly, which can increase cyst fluid secretion and speed up cysts growth.

A favorable internal environment is necessary to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease. However, frequent drink can increase blood pressure and remove bound water of cells. Besides, frequent drink can cause hyperfunction of creatinine metabolism, which can increase serum creatinine content. When alcohol is degraded, it can release acid substances which can lead to metabolic acidosis, expressed by nausea, low appetite, gloomy spirit as well as headache and other symptoms. Long-term drink can also lead to Anemia, function disorder of platelet and various bleedings. What’s more, excessive drink can result in malabsorption and nutrition deficiency which make organic body utilize vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 as well as folic acid in a low efficiency and increase vitamin B6 excretion. Hyperlipidemia and Atherosclerosis can also be caused by alcohol intake. All these are damaged that drink can bring to body, which is really harmful to PKD patients’ recovery.

In addition, alcohol can also injure kidneys. It can affect nitrogen balance of organic body, increase proteolysis and increase urea nitrogen content in blood, all of which can burden kidney heavily. As for healthy people, this problem is not so serious. But as for PKD patients, this is a severe problem to recovery.
However, besides abstaining from alcohol, PKD patients should also accept active treatment which is the key of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can treat Polycystic Kidney Disease effectively.

Polycystic Kidney Disease Complicated with Polycystic Liver Disease

Patient: Liu Mingcheng, male, 50 years old
Province: Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China
Diagnosis: Polycystic Kidney Disease, Polycystic Liver Disease, Renal Insufficiency, Azotemia Stage.

Main Cause: one month ago, gross Haematuria, complicated with fever, occurs after overwork. In local hospital, patient did not gain obvious therapeutic effect. Then patient went to our hospital for treatment.

Test result before hospitalization: blood pressure, 110/75mmHg; no pathological murmur was found in heart and lung; bumps with various sizes can be found on abdominal wall; serious edema occurs to both lower limbs. Hemoglobin, 95g/L; serum urea nitrogen, 17.4mmol/L; serum creatinine, 338.9umol/L.

Treatment: experts give Micro-Chinese Medicine as the main treatment to block Renal Fibrosis while Western Medicine is taken as an assistant method to deal with symptoms. After one week treatment, gross Hematuria is relived and patient had more sweat as well as better appetite. All these means that active substances of micronized Chinese Medicine has entered into kidney lesion and began to play their function of activating blood and dredging channels.

Ten days later, patient felt better mental condition and much stronger than before. Sleepy quality and appetite are also good.

Test result before patient went home: serum creatinine, 312umol/L; serum urea nitrogen, 13.1mmol/L; hemoglobin, 121g/L. Through body check, patient abdomen is soft and plain.

Patient took medicine home for consolidation treatment. Presently, patient has a good body condition.

Expert comment: through Cyst Decortication and other operations, Western Medicine can only deal with single cyst instead of the whole kidney, which is the main cause of cyst recurrence. Compared with Western Medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine treats Polycystic Kidney Disease starting with reducing cyst fluid secretion and shrinking cysts through methods of activating blood circulation and dredging channels. Once cysts are shrunk, pressure on healthy kidney can be removed, which can protect kidney nephron and repair renal function. Then physical indexes can be normal.

Analysis of PKD Hypertension

As for PKD patients, cysts with various sizes spread over the whole renal cortex and renal medulla. Cysts space is much larger than renal parenchyma. Kidneys enlarge obviously with grapelike outline. There are light yellow liquid on cut surface of kidney. With cysts growing and increasing, they will compress healthy renal tissue, causing renal ischemia and anoxia as well as low renal perfusion. Then PKD patients may get Hypertension.

Hypertension caused by PKD is different from Primary Hypertension which can be controlled by dilating blood vessel or preventing blood vessel shrinking. Hypotensor has some certain effect on controlling Hypertension caused by early stage PKD. However, during the process of taking hypotensor, the dosage will be increased gradually, and finally blood pressure will be difficult to be controlled.

If Nephrotic Hypertension happening to PKD patients can not be controlled effectively, kidney injury and renal fibrosis can aggravate and serum creatinine increases. Meanwhile, aggravated illness condition can increase blood pressure continuously, which can lead to heart enlargement and Heart Failure. Some patients may have rapidly developing illness condition. With renal functional injury, Chronic Renal Insufficiency, or even Uremia occurs finally.

Once PKD patients get Hypertension, they should accept active treatment in time instead of self-medication. Due to individual illness condition, patients’ condition can aggravate seriously, or even death can be caused, if patients take nephrotoxic medicine unconsciously. So patients should take medicine under doctor’s advice in order to control blood pressure and repair injured kidney scientifically.

The key of treating Hypertension caused by PKD is to treat the disease of PKD in order to reduce cystic pressure on kidney and decrease cyst internal pressure, which can remove the pressure on surrounding nephron caused by cysts and relieve the condition of renal ischemia and anoxia, delaying the process of Renal Fibrosis.

Is It Easy to Treat PKD

PKD conforms to the discipline of autosomal dominant inheritance, that is, there is an equal incidence for male and female; if one of the parents gets this disease, children have 50% of rate to get cystic gene and suffer from PKD; if parents get this disease, children’s incidence of PKD can rise up to 75%; children without PKD do not carry cystic gene and their children will not get this disease, if he or she get matched to an opposite sex who do not have this disease, reversion can also not occur. Compared with parents’ inheritance, patients who get Polycystic Kidney Disease resulting from genetic mutation is really few.

The development of any disease has an order of importance and emergency, no exception for PKD. What’s more, kidney has a powerful compensatory ability. At the early time when kidney is disturbed by cysts or inflammations, patients usually have no apparent clinical signs and they can still live, work and learn normally.

What is the course for PKD developing into Uremia?

Polycystic kidney means the kidneys are full of cysts with different sizes, and these cysts can grow with age. They can compress kidney parenchyma and damage renal structure so that decrease the quantity of nephrons which can produce urine. Gradually, kidney is so damaged that it can not sustain a person’s normal living and Uremia occurs at this moment. Accurately speaking, the occurrence of Renal Failure and Uremia is the product of Renal Fibrosis. Moreover, they occur only when 50% of nephrons, or above, is damaged.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can block the progression of Renal Fibrosis. Then what is the function of Micro-Chinese Medicine in the course of treatment?
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can block the course of Renal Fibrosis effectively, which is an important measure to control the aggravation of disease. Blocking Renal Fibrosis means damaged renal inherent cells can be reversed so that renal function attains recovery and pathological agents are eliminated.
It can shrink cysts so that cysts’ pressure to tissue around can be reduced rapidly. Micro-Chinese Medicine can restore damaged renal tissues, with the minimum lesion to kidney. The occurrence of Renal Insufficiency and Uremia can be avoided if cysts are eliminated or its progression is controlled in the early stages.

How to Nurse PKD Patients with Complications

I, Hematuria

Nearly 60～80% of PKD patients has different extent of Microscopic Hematuria, and some patients may present gross Hematuria. To eliminate small amount of bleeding through kidney rapidly, patients are advised to drink much water, in addition to staying in bed. The variation of urine color needs figuring out so as to judge that Hematuria aggravates or reduces. If PKD patients have obvious Hematuria, they should stay in bed for a long time. Moreover, hemostatic styptic should be injected into human body through vein promptly, and blood transfusion can be conducted if necessary.

II, Perirenal Hematoma

Patients need to stay in bed absolutely after taking Renal Biopsy within 24hrs. To get patients’ cooperation, doctors can inform them of the importance of staying in bed absolutely and potential complications of severe activities, in case that patients cannot endure staying in bed. If patients have no gross Hematuria and stay in bed for 24hrs, they can do some moderate activities gradually but not increase activities abruptly so as to avoid the secondary bleeding when the wound does not heal completely. At this moment, patients should be prohibited to do more exercises and get adequate cares in daily life. If Perirenal Hematoma is found by Type-B Ultrasound Examination, patients need to extend the time of staying in bed.

III, Lumbago and waist discomfort

Most of patients have slight ipsilateral lumbago and waist discomfort which lasts nearly one week usually. In most cases, ordinary painkiller can be given to moderate the symptoms. PKD patients with Perirenal Hematoma usually suffer from severe lumbago, in this case, patients can take narcotic analgesic agent to relieve the pain.

IV, Stomachache and Abdominal Distension

Some individuals feel stomachache after Renal Biopsy, which lasts 1-7 days usually and small number of patients have pressing pain and rebound tenderness. Life habit changing, abdominal belt pressing and drinking more water cause patients to present abdominal distension which does not need special treatment. Patients with obvious stomachache and abdominal distension can take lactasin or spasmolytic to relieve the symptoms.

V, Pyrexia

Patients with Perirenal Hematoma may present medium Pyrexia due to Hematoma absorption. They should be nursed as per fever patients and given proper medicine for treatment.

Could PKD Patients Drink Milk After Operation

Qualified protein occupies nearly 80% of the total protein in milk. Milk not only contains various and large amount of essential amino-acid of human body, but its protein structure is very approaching to human body, so nutrient component in milk can be absorbed and utilized more readily. In addition to protein, other components in milk are also beneficial to PKD patients. Hence, it is available for PKD patients to drink milk after operation.

Nephrotic patients take small large of protein so they are not limited to take more calories. The content of fat in milk reaches 2%—3.2% and it has a great amount of calories and is easy to be absorbed, so milk is very suitable for nephritic patients to drink. Long-term drinking milk can make skin smooth, and it can moderate dry skin and withered and yellow hair caused by disease. Carbohydrate in milk is lactose which can adjust gastric acid, promote the peristalsis of intestine and stomach, facilitate secretion of digestive gland and boost calcium absorption.

The content of lactose in milk is not very high, nearly 10g. Therefore, even patients with Diabetic Nephropathy can drink a bag of milk without extra sugar which cannot arouse glucose fluctuation. Whereas, patients of End Stage Chronic Renal Failure usually have Edema and Oliguria so they must limit water intake. Milk contains much water and is considered as a kind of water, so patients in this stage need to restrict milk intake.

A Feedback Letter about A PKD Patient

Cysts were examined out on my mother’s bilateral kidneys, how should we do?
In 2004, my mother was checked out Polycystic Kidney Disease (hereinafter called PKD) which is an inherited disease according to my knowledge. But there is no inheritance history in my mother’s family. She was diagnosed as bilateral Polycystic Kidney and her left kidney had a cyst with size of 2.5 X2cm, right kidney had two cysts with size of 2.9*3.7cm. Then how to treat this disease? What should we pay attention to?

Expert Reply：Generally, PKD is inherited. But it can also be a primary disease which your mother’s condition may belongs to. If no proper and prompt treatment, It usually develops into Renal Failure.

Cysts are usually removed by tapping or cyst decortication in Western Medicine Treatment, but both of them are makeshifts. Admittedly, these operations can remove or shrink cysts so big cysts’ pressures to Renal parenchyma lows down. Meanwhile, small cysts also have small pressures so they grow rapidly and compress nephrons again. Therefore patients have to take another operation. Patients not only waste much money but suffer from more pains and mental frustrations.

In China, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy becomes more and more popular, which is characterized by external application. Patients can get treated without operation and injection. This treatment has a bidirectional opsonic action to cysts. That is, it can not only restrain secretion of cyst wall but speed up the reabsorption of sac liquid. With our overseas department developing, more and more foreign patients have come to our hospital for treatment and attained pleasant therapeutic effect.

As a PKD patient, your mother probably has high blood pressure. If so, she can take Lescol and Lotensin. She can take medicines absorbing Serum Creatinine like Coated Aldehyde Oxystarch and Uremic Clearance Granule, if her renal function was damaged.

Because of its inheritance, you, as her immediate children, need to take Type-B Ultrasound Examination regularly. If single cyst occurs, it can be treated with anhydrous alcohol.

With regard to the diet, patients cannot eat beans product, abyssal fishes, shellfish, animal pluck and shell foodstuff. Salt intake cannot be more than 5g each day, if renal function is damaged seriously, they must not take salt over 3g each day.

Patients can eat more freshwater fish, 250g milk, some lean meat and no limit about vegetable each day. Patients are prohibited to take food with high phosphorus. If your mother’s creatinine is over 700μmol/L, she needs to take dialysis which can be hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

Key Points of PKD Assistant Treatment

Many Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients think the project of treatment is finished as long as they take Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy or kidney transplant. Actually, there is still some assistant work patients need to do, according to the clinical experience. These assistant treatment can help patients to recover more rapidly and avoid relapse. Then what is the key point of assistant treatment? Patients can get a explicit idea after reading through below article.

I, Keep an optimistic mental status and have confidence in defeat disease.

PKD can be caused by congenital or postnatal factors. Massive scientific findings show that all these causes can be changed, controlled and even eliminated. So patients do not be disappointed and pessimistic about PKD. Furthermore, keeping a good mental status can improve the immunity of human body which is beneficial to conquer the disease. Certainly, we must not underestimate the disease. We need to cooperate with the doctor actively and take treatment. In a word, it is our guideline to keep a optimistic attitude and take treatment actively.

II, Take medicine in a scientific way.

In the course of PKD treatment, there is a severe discipline to take medicines. Patients should take medicines strictly as per doctor’s prescription, and it is prohibited to take medicine blindly, in case that no unexpected curative effect attained. Besides, nephrotoxic medicine must not be taken.

III, Precautions in diets

As to diets, patients should take diet with low-salt, low-protein and low potassium. In detail, patients should not eat spicy and excitant food including pepper, alcohol, prawn and crab etc; Excessively salt food, like pickled food should be prohibited; contaminated foodstuff such as rotten and degenerative food, leftover and ort should not be eaten, so do broiled dishes. Other aspects deserved to emphasize are that patients with Renal Insufficiency or Uremia do not eat beans product, and also they are not allowed to eat animal food with high protein and greasy products.

IV, PKD patients should have more rest.

Excessive fatigue is a main incentive of PKD. When PKD attacks, lumps usually occurs in patients’ abdominal area. When cysts becomes big obviously, patients should avoid severe physical activities and abdominal trauma and use hanging strip to replace belt to avoid cysts’rupture.

V, Take regular check-up to prevent PKD

Generally, patients should take reexamination every half a year, including blood pressure, urine routine test, renal function and Type-B Ultrasound Examination, patients’ relatives including parents, brothers and sisters and children, need to take Type-B Ultrasound Examination regularly.

VI, Prevent infection actively.

Infections usually occur in urinary tract and cysts, and it is common in female. The specific precautions are as follows:

1. Take a shower for bath.

2. Do not suppress urine.

3. Wipe anus backward after defecation.

4. Keep outer privates clean.

5. Take two pills of norflocation before sexual life, and urinate and clean outer privates immediately after that.

6. Avoid urethral catheterization and other urinary tract apparatus checks.

VII, Control Hypertension to prevent Renal Insufficiency.

It is shown that the progression of Renal Failure can be postponed 15 years if blood pressure gets controlled reasonably.

Cyst Decortication of Treating Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Cyst Decortication is a treatment of treating PKD in recent ten years. Compared with other surgical operations, Cyst Decortication has smaller trauma and faster recovery as well as other advantages. It has been a common treatment of treating PKD.

In the process of Cyst Decortication, general anesthesia is required. All the process of this operation is operated through back abdominal cavity. Three routine tests are required before operation, including time of bleeding and cruor, liver and renal function tests, cardiogram, sternum, Type-B Ultrasonic examination, IVP examination, as well as CT examination. No food intake is allowed in 12 hours before operation and water intake is also not allowed in 6 hours before operation. Patients need a high-quality sleep before operation. As for nervous patients, proper sedative or sleeping pills can be taken if necessary.

Though Cyst Decortication is easy to operate, it can cause some complications such as bleeding hypercarbia, peritoneum injury, intestinal tube injury, perirenal hematoma and bleeding at punter hole. Observation to aerodermectasia, pneumothorax and prevention to post operation infection are necessary.

As for patients suffering from large number of cysts or cysts in deep kidney, Cyst Decortication can play limited role in dealing with these cysts. Besides, if such patients accept Cyst Decortication, easy infection and recurrence can happen. Even frequent observation can not delay renal function aggravation. What’s more, using operation to remove cysts is also not easy. Though cysts on kidney surface can be removed, it is rather difficult to remove cysts in deep kidney.


Conventional treatment is an effective method in early stage of PKD. Though it may not cure Polycystic Kidney Disease completely and it needs a long term, it can control cyst growth radically, which can reduce kidney damage and avoid or delay the process of Renal Insufficiency, or even Uremia.

Development of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Generally very few obvious symptoms can be found in early stage of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Besides this reason, due to poor knowledge about PKD, this disease is usually neglected by most patients. Therefore, when this disease is found, it usually develops into more serious degree.

In the early stage of PKD, the number and size of cysts are still tiny and they may not affect patients’ normal life in this period. But with time passing, cysts will grow and increase continuously, and these cysts begin to compress surrounding renal tissue, causing renal ischemia and anoxia. This can start the process of Renal Fibrosis which is the root cause of kidney injury and renal function decline. Once the process of Renal Fibrosis starts, it means that kidney is injured and renal function is impaired.

If this disease can not be controlled in time, Renal Fibrosis keeps developing further. If there are less than 50% kidneys are fibrous, kidney can still operate well enough to maintain patients’ normal life. Once Renal Fibrosis involves more than 80% kidneys, it usually means that PKD has developed into Renal Failure. In this period, toxins and metabolic wastes begin to accumulate in body but kidneys can not excrete them out of human body as before. When more than 90% kidneys are fibrous, it means that this disease has already developed into End Stage Renal Failure which also refers to Uremia Stage. During this stage, patients have to accept replacing treatment, Dialysis, to maintain their life. Dialysis is only a replacement of kidney, but it can not repair kidney. Besides, the more Dialysis patients accept, the worse their kidney condition is. And finally, PKD patients have to wait for Kidney Transplant.

From the above, it can be found that the key of preventing PKD developing into Renal Failure or Uremia is to block Renal Fibrosis. As long as Renal Fibrosis can be blocked in time, Renal Failure or Uremia can be prevented effectively.

Based on the theory mentioned above, our hospital has developed a new treatment called combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy.
Besides blocking Renal Fibrosis, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can repair injured kidney and protect remained renal function effectively while Immunotherapy is adopted to create new cells that kidney needs. By this way, PKD can be controlled radically with very few recurrences. Even for patients who are suffering Renal Failure or accepting Dialysis, this treatment can relieve their illness condition and reduce Dialysis frequency. For patients with light illness condition, this treatment may also help them get rid of Dialysis.
