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.
Certainly, if you have other confusions about Polycystic Kidney Disease and
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, you can email me at kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.
