■ Have a good control of blood pressure

Most of people with PKD have high blood pressure before renal function occurs damage. The occurrence of high blood pressure may accelerate the decline of kidney function. Besides, it may lead to cerebrovascular damage. Therefore, have a good control of the blood pressure is very important. Generally, you had better control it within 130/80mmHg.

How to Treat Hematuria Caused by PKD

After the centrifugal precipitation of urine, if there exist more than 5 red blood cells in it under each high power field, it is medically called Hematuria. Hematuria is one of the symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).

Hematuria caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is the common symptom among PKD patients. Only few PKD patients have fewer cysts or bleeding in early stage, Cysts can grow increasingly in the majority of PKD patients’ body, which can arouse cysts rupture and bleeding finally. For cysts growing causes pressure which results in cysts’ wall rupture and bleeding. Bleeding volume is not the same, and over 60% of PKD patients have once bleeding in their life.

How to treat PKD hematuria? No matter what types of PKD hematuria, they are all caused by the enlargement of cysts, so the key point of treatment is to contract cysts. Combination of traditional Chinese medicine with the Western medicine is the best way of treating PKD. Western medicine mainly copes with symptoms, while traditional Chinese medicine treats disease from pathogenesis by controlling the enlargement of cysts, which is realized through inactivation of epithelial cells of cysts. Then with reduced cyst liquid secretion, cysts will stop growing.

In addition, experts remind that the key point of treating hematuria is to treat it from its resource-the cysts of kidney. So patients should prevent from the enlargement and burst of cysts positively. The treatment of the cysts is the fundamental method.

Hypertension-One of the Common Symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease

According to clinical researches, there are more than 50 percent of patients of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have the symptom of hypertension when their renal function is still normal. When the renal function decreases, the morbidity of hypertension will be higher. Then how does PKD cause the hypertension?

With the continuous enlargement of the cysts, they will compress the normal renal tissues and renal blood vessels, which will cause the limited blood-supply or even the ischemia and anemia of renal blood vessels and the whole kidney. in this case, the receptor of the kidney will make reactions to the ischemia and anemia by secreting more rennin, which will lead to the increase of the density of angiotension and the contracting of blood vessels. Then the hypertension occurs. While, hypertension is not just the symptom of PKD, it also will aggravate the condition of this disease and accelerate the development of this disease.

Therefore, we must attach great importance to hypertension and adopt effective therapy to treat hypertension. To treat hypertension, we must proceed from the resource. That is to say we must aim at treating the cysts. On the basis of this theory, we take advantage of the thought of curing inner disease by outer therapy of our traditional Chinese medicine and use the effective Chinese medicine which is processed by advanced technique and especially for PKD. After been superfinely flattered, the medicine with extremely strong bioactivity and targeting positioning ability can conduct treatment on the certain cyst lesion. This type of therapy possesses two curative effects, the first one is: expand the vessels on the vascular wall surround the PKD, accelerate the blood circulation of cyst wall, promote the permeability of cyst wall, promote the inner press decrease of cyst wall vessels, reverse the differential pressure caused by intravascular pressure higher than intracapsular pressure, accelerate the vessels adsorption of the cyst liquid. The second one is: the active substance of Micro-Chinese Medicine can restrain the secretion of cyst wall epithelial cell; prevent the continue expanding of bursa wall vessels and cyst.

By this therapy, on one hand we can treat the symptom of hypertension. On the other hand, we can treat the disease of PKD fundamentally. If you have other questions about hypertension or Micro-Chinese Medicine, you can send email us: kidneyfailurecn@hotmail.com or contact us on-line.

“Bleeding” Caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease

Many patients with the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have the symptom of “bleeding”. In fact, the “bleeding” symptom is that there is blood in the urine, which is called “hematuria” in clinical. Usually, hematuria is caused by the burst of the cysts.

With the enlargement of the cysts, there will be the risk of the burst of the cysts when the cysts are larger than 4cm. once the cysts ruptured, this may cause infections and even may cause ichorrhemia. Besides, massive haemorrhage may cause the hemorrhagic shock. The size of the kidney will enlarge with the growth of the cysts, which will gradually compress the normal renal tissues and cause the discomfort of the back and abdomen. With the progression of the disease, the long-time compression of the renal tissue may damage the renal function. The early symptoms may be hypertension, and then there will be abnormal symptoms of urine test, such as proteinuria and hematuria. At this time, these symptoms will make it difficult to treat the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Therefore, it is very important for patients to find and treat this disease as early as possible.

For the treatment of the symptom of hematuria caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease, it is more difficult because of its relapse. To treat hematuria effectively, we must proceed from the multi-aspects: first, prevent from infections after the hematuria. Because hematuria can easily cause the renal infections, if we can prevent from the infections well, it may cause sustained fever, systemic edema, renal swelling and even the sharp decline of renal function. All of these may lead to the aggravation of the disease. Second, during the treatment of hematuria, we should pay attention to the degree of anemia. If the patients have the symptom of anemia originally, they should enrich the blood supply early. Third, oral Chinese medicine has a good effect on the repeated hematuria.

The Diets for Patients with High Creatinine

Many patients of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have high level of creatinine when their kidney function has been damaged seriously. In normal cases, creatinine should be eliminated out of the body after been filtrated by the glomerulus, while when the glomeruluses are damaged, the creatinine will be tetented in the body and damage the kidney and other parts of the body. Then, except for the medical treatment, diets play an important role for the high creatinine.

First, control the intake of salt

Generally speaking, during compensatory stage of renal insufficiency and azotemia stage also have high level of creatinine and are companied with various clinical symptoms, but it is during the moderate damage, patients can adjust the intake of salt according to whether patients have hypertension and edema and adopt low salt diets or non-salt diets respectively.

Besides, if the patients just have high creatinine without oligutia and edema, they should not stop taking in salt and water. If the patients are companied by edema, they should strictly stop taking in salt.

Second, supply enough vitamin

Polycystic Kidney Disease patients with high level creatinine should take more food rich in vitamin A,B2 and C.

Third, the supply of the protein

With the development of the disease and the damage of the renal function, many patients have the azotemia and renal insufficiency. In order to control the further aggravation of the renal function and avoid increasing the burden of the kidney, patients should control the intake of the protein and choose high quality protein.
