Symptoms of Renal Cyst

Renal Cyst is a common kidney disease. Many patients think that renal cyst is tumor. In fact, although they have many similarities, they belong to two different diseases. So the experts remind all patients that they should diagnose their disease seriously.

The following article lists the main symptoms of Renal Cyst. It will be helpful for patient to diagnose their disease.

In the early time, the patients with Renal Cyst do not have symptoms. Some patients begin to have the following symptoms due to cyst enlargement, increased intravascular pressure, infection and so on.

1. Back pain

Some patients have back pain.The reason is that the enlarged kidney makes renal capsule tension to increase. As a result, the renal pedicles are pulled by the cysts .Another reason is that the adjacent organs are pressed by the cysts. Moreover, as the renal cysts grow, the fluid in the cysts will increase persistently. Therefore, the kidney becomes heavy thus dropping.

2. Hematuria

It includes microscopic and gross hematuria. The hematuria appears cyclically. When the hematuria appears, the patients will fell more painful. Moreover, daily factors such as strenuous exercise, wound and infection also can aggravate it. The reason of the haemorrhage is that there are many arteries under the cyst wall. Due to oppression to cyst wall, the cysts will burst thus causing bleeding.

3. The lump in abdomen

Sometimes the lump in abdomen is the main reason for patients go for treatment. The lump in abdomen is caused by the enlarged cysts.

4. Proteinuria

Usually, the protein in the urine is less than 2 grams per day.

5. Hypertension

The cysts press the kidney thus causing renal ischemia and anoxia. As a result, kidney will secrete more renin thus causing hypertension.

6 Declined renal function

The enlarged cysts cause much oppression to the kidney so the normal renal tissues reduce thus the renal function decreasing.

If the patients have the above symptoms, they should go to see a doctor at once so as to stop the further damage to their renal function and prevent the disease from developing into Renal Failure.

Several Symptoms will Present When One Gets Polycystic Kidney Disease

There are no obvious manifestations at the early stage of Polycystic Kidney Disease, which does not mean the illness condition is not progressing. Once obvious manifestations present, the enlarging cysts have caused great damage to the kidneys. From the above, we can see how important it is to have a clear knowledge of the symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Experts from Kidney Disease Hospital will give you the description of the symptoms in detail.
Abnormality in urine

It is mainly showing up as hematuria (blood in urine) or proteinuria( protein in urine), which is one of the early symptoms. The proteinuria(protein in urine) is very common for patients of Polycystic Kidney Disease and it is caused by the damage of the filtration function of glomeruli. While, the reason why hematuria presents is the increasing cysts press each other and finally rupture, leading to bleeding of kidneys. Generally, patients will present gross hematuria without pain and it is intermittent and light. What is more, frequent urination, excessive urination at night will present, which might be closely related with the kidneys’ concentration function.

Abdominal mass

When the kidneys are large to a certain extent, patients can feel numerous mass of different sizes on one side or both sides of abdomen. They will move when patients are breathing and pressing pain may occur when the masses are accompanied with infection.

Anemia

Most patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease will suffer from anemia from light to severe, which is often accompanied with excessive urination at night. This is related with the reduction of erythrogenins(EPO) in the kidneys.

High blood pressure

High blood pressure is one of the most frequent symptoms, and 50%-60% patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease will present it. High blood pressure usually occurs when the kidneys function normally, which is often accompanied with headache, dizziness. It is closely related with the resistance of renin-angiotensin system (RAS).

Discomfort in back or sides

This symptom usually occurs at the early stage of Polycystic Kidney Disease, which shows up as pressing pain in the back or abdomen. This is caused by the enlargement of the kidneys pulling the renal capsule.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract System

This symptoms can be shown up as anuria, frequent urine, urgent urine, pain when urination, hematuria, excessive urine at night and less urine.

Those above are the main symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Experts from Kidney Disease Hospital suggest patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease receive treatment as early as possible.

The earlier the treatment, the better the result.

Polycystic Kidney Disease: Symptoms and Treatment

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of inherited diseases which will pass through the family. The children have a 50% chance to get it if one of their parents carries the faulty gene of Polycystic Kidney Disease. When people get Polycystic Kidney Disease, numerous cysts will form in their kidneys

Symptoms

In the early stage of Polycystic Kidney Disease, Patients do not present symptoms until half of their kidney functions are damaged. When the following symptoms occur, patients should be alert.

1. Abdominal pain

Abdominal pain is a very common symptom of Polycystic Kidney Disease. About 60% of patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease are suffering from it. The continuous growth of the cysts will enlarge the kidneys, pulling the renal capsules. Thus, the abdominal pain presents.

2. Hematuria ( Blood in the urine)

About half of patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease present microscopic hematuria, some of them having gross hematuria. The enlarging cysts will press the small vessels and when the vessels are ruptured, hematuria will occur. Hematuria is always accompanied with white blood cells and small amount of proteinuria.

3. Excessive urine at night

The press on the kidneys can cause damage of the tubules, losing its normal function of urine concentration and reabsorption of water. So, the normal procedure of urination function will be prolonged. Thus, the urine is discharged at night which should be in the day.

What is more, high blood pressure, flank pain on one or both sides, renal insufficiency can also present for patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Treatment

The goal of treatment is control the symptoms and the occurrence of symptoms from the root, which is to shrink the cysts. Polycystic Kidney Disease should be treated as early as possible. The western therapies of treatment mainly include top decompression, paracentesis and even the removal of the cysts. Nevertheless, these therapies all can cause severe damage to the already damaged kidneys. Is there a natural way to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease?

The Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy are recommended by experts from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. The combination of these two therapies can reach their best efficacies to shrink the cysts and control the illness condition for fear of the occurrence of Kidney Failure.

Causes and Treatment for Hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Hematuria is one of the main symptoms for Polycystic Kidney Disease and is also what most patients are concerned about. Then how does hematuria appear? How to treat hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease? In the following passage,we will focus on the causes and treatment for hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Causes for Hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease

For patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, usually there exist multiple cysts of various sizes in the kidneys; Over time, the cysts increase in number and augment in size, leading the kidneys to getting increased in size and heavy in weight. As a result of the pressure of the cysts on the kidneys, renal hypoxia and anoxia develops, which may lead to high blood pressure and increase the possibility of cyst rupture. Caused by the augmented cysts or other factors such as combined kidney stones, infections and crashes, the cyst get ruptured, leading to hematuria. Generally hematuria may last for one to several days, and there may be microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria with urine pink, red or brown-red colors.

In case hematuria appears, patients should take a positive treatment and necessary nursing measures which may include prevention of infections, diet controlling, avoid strenuous exercise and so on.

Treatment for hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Hematuria is a result of the pressure of continuously growing cysts on the kidneys, therefore, the proper treatment should be aimed at preventing the cysts from growing and shrinking the cysts. More than surgeries, we recommend a conservative therapy which requires no surgeries and can treat the cysts without bring side effects. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is just such a therapy. The functioning mechanism of this osmosis therapy in treating Polycystic Kidney Disease can be summarized from two aspects:

1. Soften cyst wall, improve circulatory disturbance between blood vessels and the cyst, increase permeability on cyst wall, prevent cyst epithelial cells from secreting; therefore, the cyst can be controlled from growing.

2. Accelerate blood circulation by expanding blood vessels so as to improve renal anoxia and hypoxia, decrease blood pressure in the cysts and lead cyst liquid to being excreted out with urine.Consequently the cysts can be shrinked.

As long as the cysts can be well controlled and shrinked, hematuria and pains related to cyst rupture can also be well controlled.

Cause of Increased Serum Creatinine for PKD Patients

Serum Creatinine is an important index in reflecting renal function. Creatinine is the metabolic product of creatine in muscle. Every 20 grams muscle can produce 1 gram creatinine. In normal condition, creatinine can be released into blood and then will be discharged out of body by kidney. Therefore, the creatinine level can keep its normal range within 0.6 to 1.2mg/dL (50-110mmol/L), but some reference value may vary with different hospitals.

However, for PKD patients, if they do not receive effective prevention and treatment, their cyst will enlarge kidney tissues persistently. As a result, the enlarged cysts will oppress the kidney tissues thus causing renal ischemia and anoxia. As kidneys can not get sufficient oxgen and blood supplement, it can initiate fibrosis of kidney thus causing glomerulosclerosis. As a result, the kidneys will lose it normal filtration function so the creatinine will accumulate in body. Therefore, the patients’ creatinine level will increase.

In fact, creatinine level is not a very sensitive index in assessing renal function. In most cases, the PKD patients’ creatinine level does not increase until they lose more than half of their renal function. Therefore, the patients should quit their wrong opinion that if their creatinine level does not increase, their kidneys do not have damage at all. Once patients notice their creatinine level increase, they should not delay their treatment any longer.

In order to decrease creatinine level, the PKD patients should receive proper treatment to prevent the enlargement of cysts. Then on this base, they can further repair the damaged renal function so as to recover their normal kidney filtration function. If so, their kidneys will be able to dischrge the toxins and wastes in body normally so the creatinine level will recover the normal level.

In a word, if patients can get a proper treatment, they will certainly be able to decrease their creatinine level. If you are confused about how to decrease your high creatinine, please consult us on line or email to kidneyfailurecn@hotmail.com.

What Is Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome in Children

Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) in children is related to genetic risk factors in most cases. It refers that children have the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome within 3 month. How to treat congenital nephrotic syndrome is the most concerned question for their parents.

What is congenital nephrotic syndrome in children exactly?

The infants with CNS always have the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome which is characterized in severe swelling, hypoproteinemia, proteinuria and hyperlipidaemia.

Most of them are premature infant with big placenta and their placenta is heavier than 25% of the infant weight. Almost every infant has swelling only 2 month after their birth. A part of them have abdominal distension or ascites when they were born. The protein in blood is very low and their plasma cholesterol is normal or higher than the normal range. Some of infants have iron-deficiency anemia, growth disorder, delay of ossification and hypothyroidism.

Except for these symptoms above, they often have some special symptoms which are different from the signs of nephrotic syndrome. The infants with congenital nephrotic syndrome always have malnutrition, so they would not grow well. They may have smaller heads, lower position ear, low bridge of the nose and other special complexion. Almost 50% of children with CNS may die of infection and others may have kidney dysfunction at about 2 years old.

How to treat congenital nephrotic syndrome in children?

Immunotherapy has been used for congenital nephrotic syndrome for more than three years. Only using immune blocker or hormone therapy cannot control their condition very well and infants cannot bear the bad side effects. However, Immunotherapy can provide a better method to repair kidney tissues and remove all the symptoms from the root.

Immunotherapys are immature cells which can differentiate into various cells they need. They can repair kidney tissues, so the protein in blood would not be leaked through urine. Accordingly, their swelling and cholesterol level would be remitted.

Furthermore, Immunotherapy can rebuild the immune system, so they would not be easily infected. The respiratory tract infection in fact is the main cause of CNS for the children. Immunotherapy can reduce the chance of infection.

Immunotherapy is one of effective method to treat congenital nephrotic syndrome. You can consult our experts online for detailed information about the new therapy.

The Most Obvious Sign of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), as a hereditary disease, has long been paid attention to. As for the most obvious sign, different patients might have different answers.

1. Back pain: although the pain can be severe, it is the most common symptom of PKD, which patients will be neglected. The back pain can be persistent and continuous.

2. High blood pressure: usually, it is the primary symptom of PKD. The blood pressure can be elevated obviously if the cysts in the kidneys are big and in a large number. To control the high blood pressure is very necessary for PKD patients. It can not only aggravate the PKD condition, but also trigger a lot of other cardiovascular diseases.

3. Hematuria: often, blood in urine is not the first symptom of PKD. However, it is the first sign that make people worried and make them realize there is severe kidney problem.

The above symptoms are the most obvious sign of PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) in most cases. Patients should be alerted with these signs and symptoms. Besides the above symptoms, it is also very common for patients to experience: cysts in other organs, urinary tract infections and kidney stone etc. These symptoms are not easy to be noticed for patients.

When patients realize they have PKD, they should find effective treatments to eliminate these symptoms by controlling the cysts. At present, because surgeries can bring so many side effects, most people are not recommended to perform surgeries. In China, we use Chinese medicine to shrink the cysts, which involves no cut and trauma. More and more patients are choosing this method to fight against PKD.

In conclusion, if you experience the following signs and symptoms, you had better perform a check in hospital. Timely treatment can give you a full and healthy life. Please contact our online experts to get more information.
