Polycystic Kidney Disease patients should accept effective treatment actively
in order to prevent illness condition aggravating. But only medicinal treatment
is not enough. In daily life, patients should prevent cold and infection
actively with the purpose of preventing Polycystic Kidney Disease developing
into Renal Failure and Uremia. Generally, Polycystic Kidney Disease patients can
start with the following aspects.
Firstly, preventing cold: Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of whole life
hereditary disease. No matter how much care family members give to patients, the
fact that cysts keep growing can not be changed. If patients catch colds in this
period, their renal injury will be worsened, which can speed up the developing
of renal function injury.
Secondly, prevent trauma: with cysts of Polycystic Kidney Disease growing,
these cysts can increase cyst internal pressure continuously, enlarging
patients’ bilateral kidneys. At this moment, any tiny trauma like sprain, injury
or fall wound may increase abdomen internal pressure or these trauma may act on
cysts directly, which may cause cyst rupture and bleeding, inducing infection
easily.
Thirdly, control blood pressure: most PKD patients get Hypertension before
renal function is damaged. Hypertension can speed up renal injury. Besides,
Hypertension can also damage heart blood vessel and cerebral blood vessel,
causing encephalic dngioma and other complications. For this reason, controlling
blood pressure effectively has a significant role in delaying renal function
aggravation and preventing complications.
Fourthly, scientific diet: proper daily diet is very important to control
renal function aggravation. Diet with low salt, 2 to 3g per day, is suitable.
Patients should eat less food with potassium, phosphor and low protein and low
fat. Foods with more vegetable coarse fiber should be taken more.
The key of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease is to block Renal Fibrosis,
repair injured renal inherent cells and control cyst growing, which can prevent
Polycystic Kidney Disease developing into Renal Failure and Uremia
