Can PKD Patients Eat Pineapples

Summer is coming, and various fruits appear on the market and they are so attractive. But Polycystic Kidney Disease( PKD) patients must pay attention to them. For many kinds of fruits are not suitable for them or even could aggravate the patients' condition. So PKD patients should not just eat what they like. Recently, many patients asked whether they can eat pineapples?

On one hand, pineapple is mild-natured and it contains the sugar and enzyme, which has the function of promoting urination. And pineapple contains a kind of substance naming pineapple proteinase, which has the function of resolving protein and those blood clots and hemaleucin blocked in the tissues. Besides, pineapple proteinase can improve the focal blood circulation of human body and it has the function of eliminating edema and inflammation. So eating proper amount of pineapple is good for PKD patients.

On the other hand, pineapple contains a large amount of protein and phosphorus, if the patients are in the middle or end stage of uremia, they had better not eat pineapple. If they want to eat fruit to supply nutrition, they can choose banana, grapes, hami melon, muskmelon and orange and etc.

As for the diets of PKD patients, they should be light and mild. Patients should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables and food that contains much vitamin C, such as orange, date, carrot and kiwi fruit. They can enhance the immunity of patients. In addition, patients should take in proper high quality protein.


Experts remind that diets are only one aspect of daily life of patients. And diets just have the function of health-care and it can not treat disease. The fundamental method is adopting therapies to treat the disease. As present, a brand new method to treat PKD, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, combines traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine. It makes new breakthroughs on both treatment method and medical methods. Its medical method, differing from traditional Chinese medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy permeates the medicine directly to kidney by external permeation and its medicine utilization is rather high. The medicine permeated into kidney can effectively relieve the condition of ischemia and anoxia, accelerate the the resorption of cysts liquid, restrain the secretion of cyst liquid and at last achieve the goals of contracting cysts and preventing its recurring. Meanwhile Micro-Chinese Medicine cooperates with Western medicine in order to block the inflammation, which can make a good environment for the effects of Chinese medicine. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy brings no harm to patients and the disease seldom recurs.

The Disadvantages of Operations for PKD

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a type of genetic kidney disease. At the early stage when the cysts are relatively small, there is no obvious symptoms. The symptoms will appear until when the cysts enlarge and they begin to compress the surrounding renal tissues. To treat PKD, Western medicine usually adopts operations when the cysts grow bigger. The methods include renipuncture, laparoscopic renal cyst decorbicatiou (LRCD), pumping fluid hardening operation and kidney transplant.

One of the advantages of operations for treating PKD is that they can relieve the pressure of cysts to the renal tissues and improve the ischemia and anoxic condition of kidney rapidly. To some extent, operations can reduce the damage to renal function. However, operations have some disadvantages: operations do not eliminate the fundamental cause of cysts-the secretion of cysts liquid, and they will bring new damage to kidney,which will cause the cicatrix or shrink of kidney.

In addition, PKD means there are many cysts in the kidney. But operations just can eliminate the larger ones or make the larger ones stop growing. After the elimination of larger cysts, the smaller ones will grow rapidly for the decrease of pressure. Then they will form new threaten to kidney. What's more, the illness condition will aggravate with the repeated recur of disease and PKD may gradually develop to the end stage of renal failure. As for the kidney transplant, on one hand, sometimes it is hard to find matched kidney and the expense is relatively high. The most important point is that kidney transplant is not so omnipotent as patients think. According to researches, the first year's survival rate of patients who adopt kidney transplant is above 90 percent, while the five years' survival rate is below 60 percent.

Therefore, though operations have their effects, patient should adopt operations prudently. For the treatment of PKD should aim at contracting cysts and reducing the pressure of cysts to renal tissues. And the fundamental method is stop the secretion of cysts liquid instead of getting the existing liquid in the cysts out. Because the liquid will be secreted continuously.


To conquer the limits of operations and reduce the suffering of patients, we have developed out a brand new therapy-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It takes advantage of the thought of curing inner disease by outer therapy of our traditional Chinese medicine and uses 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 polycystic kidney disease, 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 cysts pressure, accelerate the vessel sresoption 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.

How to Treat PKD

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a type of genetic kidney disorder, the manifestation of which is that there are various cysts in the renal cortex and renal medulla. 90-95 percent of PKD patients have the family medical history. Only 5-10 percent of patients have no family medical history and belong to genetic mutation. The most common PKD is autosomal dominant inheritance PKD, and this disease usually attack at 30-50 years old. The morbidity of their children is about 50 percent. In addition, PKD is a kind of system disease, and it always is complicated by polycystic liver disease, encephalic aneurysma, abnormal heart valve and other non-renal abnormal. Sometimes, the non-renal abnormal may be the only clinical symptom.

As for the genetic disease, the abnormal hyperplasia of kidney tubules epithelial cells is its outstanding feature. When the kidney tubules epithelial cells turn into cysts epithelial cells, they begin to have the function of secretion. The liquid they secreted become more and more but there is no normal approach to eliminate. So with the increase of age and the accumulation of liquid, the cysts will gradually enlarge and the cysts pressure will increase, then the cysts will press the surrounding renal tissues and the tension of cysts wall will increase. So patients will have the symptoms of discomfort of back and waist.

When there are focal infections of cysts, there will be symptoms of pain. With the continuous enlargement of cysts,the normal renal structure will be replaced by the cysts and the normal renal function will decline gradually. Then in clinical, there will be symptoms of hypertension or the abnormal manifestations of urine routine test and renal function. Therefore, when the size of cysts is large than 3 centimetres, there are obvious symptoms and patients need to adopt some treatment.

Then how can we treat PKD? Since we can do nothing change the genes, the therapies in clinical all proceed from the cysts. At present, the most effective method is combining the Chinese medicine with Western medicine. During the treatment, the Western medicine aims at and eliminates symptoms, and its effects are relatively rapid. Meanwhile the Chinese medicine treat cysts from their source by stop the secretion of cysts liquid and contracting the cysts.

More specifically, Chinese medicine can inactivate the cysts epithelial cells and make them lose parts secretion activity. Then they won't secrete liquid any more and the cysts won't grow any more. However, the cysts are still there, the large cysts still can affect the health of patients.

The good news is that the Chinese medicine can improve the blood circulation and permeability of cysts wall and adsorption the cysts liquid. Then the liquid can be eliminated out of human body with urine. By this, this disease can be treated fundamentally.


On the basis of combining Chinese medicine with western medicine, we developed out Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It takes advantage the most advanced technology in the world to make the Chinese medicine superfinely shattered, by which the active substance can be activated. Then with the assist of effective osmosis devices, the medicine powder can be permeated to renal lesions directly by external applications. By this therapy, patients don't have to suffer the pain of oral medicine and operations. And after superfinely shattered, the medicine effects are greatly improved and the effects are more rapid. So it is a brand new method in treating PKD and clinical practice has proven it is a effective therapy with promising future.

How to Take Medicine When PKD Patients Have a Cold

The weather is coming more and more hot and it is so unstable that many people have a cold. As for health people, they can choose medicine even by themselves, while the patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) can not take the cold easily. For almost medicine has it own side-effects, once the PKD patients adopt the wrong medicine or the medicine have bad effects on kidney, it just will aggravate the patients' conditions instead of curing it. Then we have some information for you to help you to learn more about the cold cure.

Why patients of PKD must not choose cold cure themselves? In the cold cure, the antipyretic and analgesia ingredients are the main factors to damage the kidney. So long-time taking such kind of medicine may cause the acute nephritis, glomerulus necrosis and nephritic syndrome, and sometimes it may lead to renal failure.

1, as for the medicines containing gluconic acid, patients had better not take them together with tetracycline, boric acid, carbonate and ocyhydrate. Besides, patients should take them after meals to reduce the stimulation to the stomach.
2, if the medicines don't contain the antipyretic and analgesia ingredient, they can not relieve the condition of fever and headache. But they can remiss the symptoms of nasal obstruction and stream and etc.

3, if patients need to take renitidine and Cimetidin and etc, they have better take them 1 hour after the taking of cold cure.

4, if patients need to take both cold cure and insulin or pills for diabetes, they had better make sure that the taking time interval is above 4 hours. Or they can increase the dose of insulin and pills for diabetes. Besides, cold cure can not be taken together with cardiac glycoside, quinindium and antidepressant in order to prevent the danger of arrhythmia.

To turn around, the best method is to prevent from cold effectively in the daily life. Once patients of PKD caught a cold, they had better go to see a doctor and take specific examinations, then take proper medicines which are suitable for them under the directions of doctor.


In addition, experts remind that PKD patients should pay attention to the change of their illness condition and prevent the external factors that may aggravate PKD, such as cold, infections, injuries, over working and hypertension and etc.
Besides, as for the treatment of PKD, we can not just wait and let the cysts grow freely, we should control the enlargement of cysts positively at the early stage, which is very important for the treatment of PKD.

What is Polycystic Kidney Disease

According to researches, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) has become the most common life-threatening genetic disease, affecting an estimated 12.5 million people worldwide.

Then what is PKD? And why there are so many people have this disease, and why there is no effective therapy to help those patients?

PKD is a type of cystic genetic disorder of the kidneys. There are two types of PKD: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) and the less-common Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD).This kind of disease occurs in humans and some other animals. PKD is characterized by the presence of multiple cysts in both kidneys. The cysts are numerous and are fluid-filled, resulting in massive enlargement of the kidneys. This disease can also damage the liver, pancreas and, in some rare cases, the heart and brain. The two major forms of polycystic kidney disease are distinguished by their patterns of inheritance.


In half of the people with PKD, there is no family history of the disease and they belong to ARPKD. In these cases, the gene coding for the disease occurs out of a spontaneous genetic mutation without either parent being a carrier of the gene. This kind of PKD attack after the birth of babies and usually those babies won't live long. And this type of PKD is rather rare. While ADPKD is a late-onset disorder characterized by progressive cyst development and bilaterally enlarged kidneys with multiple cysts. ADPKD occurs in 1:400–1:1,000 individuals worldwide and accounts for 4% of end-stage renal disease. Over 90% of cases are inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, with the remainder likely representing spontaneous mutations. Cyst formation begins in utero from any point along the nephron, although fewer than 5% of nephrons are thought to be involved. As the cysts accumulate fluid with the increase of age, they enlarge, separate entirely from the nephron, compress the neighboring renal parenchyma, and progressively compromise renal function. And with the continuous enlargement of cysts, they may even affect other organs, such as liver, spleen and so on. So it is a type of very dangerous disease.

Can PKD Patients Get Rid of Dialysis

In the early stage of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), very few symptoms can be found so patients usually do not pay enough attention on it. Besides, due to its genetic feature, most patients feel hopeless about treating PKD. Most patients have said that their doctors told them there is no way to treat this disease and they have to wait for Dialysis or Kidney Transplant. Patients usually feel so helpless about this. Well then, whether PKD patients have to accept Dialysis or not and whether they can avoid Dialysis indeed? The answer is that if PKD patients can accept proper treatment to control illness condition aggravation, they can avoid Dialysis.

But which kind of treatment can be considered as proper one and how to make PKD patients avoid Dialysis? Surgical operations or Conventional treatments? As for surgical operations, PKD patients can feel rather better after accepting operation. However, most people also believe that surgical operation is another kind of trauma to kidney. What’s worse, fast effect of operations is always accompanied with frequent reoccurrence. For this reason, most patients begin to search a new treatment of PKD.

Among conventional treatments, Chinese Medicine Treatment is most suggested. As we all know, except for gene problem, the main cause of PKD aggravation is cysts growing and increasing. Therefore, the key of treatment is to control cysts growing and increasing. In recent more than 20 years, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has shown its excellent effect on controlling and treating Polycystic Kidney Disease. Different from surgical operations, this treatment starts with dilating blood vessels and activating blood circulation, increasing permeability of cysts wall and inhibiting activity of epithelial cells as well as increasing reabsorption of cysts fluid. Through these methods, cysts can be controlled and shrunk. Then a series of symptoms caused by cysts can be relieved gradually. Once cysts are under control, PKD aggravation can be blocked or at least delayed. Then PKD patients can avoid Dialysis if the illness condition of PKD patients stops aggravating.


As for PKD patients who have already accepted Dialysis, Immunotherapy is adopted when using Chinese Medicine Treatment in order to repair injured nephrons and create new nephrons. Then patients will have great possibility of getting rid of Dialysis or at least have less Dialysis.

Why PKD Patients Have the Symptom of Hematuria

If you are a Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patient, or your friends or relatives are PKD patients, may be you will know that hematuria is one of the most common symptoms of PKD. Then what is the cause of hematuria?

Humaturia usually won’t appear during the very early stage of PKD. While with the enlargement of cysts and the increase of cysts pressure, the cysts may burst, causing the bleeding and hematuria. The amount of bleeding varies very much according to different patients. There are more than 60 percent of PKD patients who have once or more than once hematuria.

When the hematuria occurs, there may be no obvious symptoms or there is just the symptom of abdominal pain. In the cases when the burst cysts are not connected with urinary tract, there will be serious pain.

The enlargement of cysts and hypertension are the most dangerous factors for the hematuria. Besides, infections and stress reaction may easily cause the large area of heatureia.


Therefore, as for the treatment of hematuria, it is very important to prevent the enlargement and burst of cysts. Besides, patients should pay attention to the controlling of blood pressure and avoid infections, injuries, high-pressure of the abdomen.
