Daily care for Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a hereditary disease which is a very tough job to deal with. Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease should not only cooperate with the doctors to receive treatment positively, they also should take special care of them in their daily life. The illness condition is affected by many factors. The following are the aspects patients should pay attention to in their daily life.

1. Have a good rest

Polycystic Kidney Disease patients should have a rest according to the change of their blood pressure.

2. Diet properly

Generally speaking, the intake of salt should be controlled in 3-5g per day. They should avoid consuming food which is too hot or too cold. What is more, they should diet regularly, neither be too hungry nor too full. However, patients with high blood pressure should consume adequate low fat and low purine foods.

3. Take care of your mouth

Keep your mouth clean after meal and get rid of hiltosis for fear of the growth of germs.

4. Strengthen the care of skin

Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD):Why Do Patients with Renal Failure Have Renal Anemia

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a common genetic disease. If the patients do not treat the disease in early time, it will do much harm to patients’ kidney thus causing Renal Failure gradually. With patients’ renal function declining, the patients will have a series of complications. Renal Anemia as one of its complications can do much harm to patients, which is the main cause of fatigue. Then, why do patients with Renal Failure have Renal Anemia?

Renal Anemia is a common complication of Renal Failure. As patients’ renal function declines, their Renal Anemia will also aggravate. There are several causes of Renal Anemia.

1. As patients’ renal function declines, much toxins and wastes will accumulate in their body, which can shorten the life of red blood cells greatly and cause marrow hematopoietic function disturbance.

2. As patients’ kidney is damaged seriously, their kidney can not produce enough hemopoietin thus the concentration of hemopoietin declining. It is also an important cause of Renal Anemia.

3. Usually, patients with Renal Failure have various certain blood coagulation disorders. As a result, the patients often have bleeding such as bleeding in gums, gastrointestinal tract and so on.

4. Many patients are often accompanied with intestines problems. Therefore, they often have vomit, nausea, diarrhea and so on, which can cause malnutrition to them. As a result, the raw material of blood is insufficient thus causing Renal Anemia.


Compared with PKD itself, its complications can do more harm than the disease itself. Therefore, the patients with PKD should receive treatment as early as possible so as to prevent their disease from developing into Renal Failure.

Four Damages of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of genetic disorder in the kidneys where a lot of cysts in different sizes are formed. When one carries the faulty genes, he/she may have some forms of this disease in a lifetime. The children from a family who have Polycystic Kidney Disease might have different symptoms and manifestations.

If Polycystic Kidney Disease not treated early, it might probably lead to Urmia (End-Stage Renal Failure). Experts from china will introduce the four main damages of Polycystic Kidney Disease.

1. Pass their faulty genes to his/her children

If one carries the faulty gene, his/ here children have a 50% chance to get Polycystic Kidney Disease. The autosomal recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease can affect infants, which can cause death in the first month of life. Men and women have an equal chance to get it.

2. Enlargement

As time goes by, the continuous growth of the cysts will cause pressure on the renal parenchyma, which will cause the enlargement of the kidneys and cause damage to the kidneys. Finally, the kidneys will be filled with cysts.

3. The horrible complications Polycystic Kidney Disease brings

The cystic damages of Polycystic Kidney Disease are not just limited in kidneys; it can spread into liver, pancreas, spleen and ovary etc. Some patients might have disorders of brain blood vessels and cardiovascular diseases which are characterized by mitral valve prolapse and inadequacy. Therefore, Polycystic Kidney Disease is not only a main cause of kidney failure, it is also a systemic disease.

4. The cysts are very easy to relapse

For small cysts, many patients are not recommended to receive treatment by their doctors. They may think the small cysts do not cause much harm on the kidneys and there are no symptoms occurring. While, the western surgery Top Decompression can get rid of the big cysts, but the small ones will get larger not long after the surgery. The removal of cysts through surgery can not clear the cysts in the kidneys. The relapse of the cysts can cause great damage to the kidneys.


However, although it has so many damages, Polycystic Kidney Disease can also be controlled and treated. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy can shrink the cysts effectively. The earlier to receive treatment, the better efficacy it will produce. If you are interested in out therapies, please contact our online experts.

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): Complications of Chronic Renal Failure (CRF)

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disease. At present, in the western medicine, there is no cure and effective treatment for the disease. Therefore, as the cysts enlarge persistently, they will oppress the kidney tissues thus making kidney fail. With the occurrence of Chronic Renal Failure(CRF), the patients will have a series of complications.

1. Skin disease

As patients’ renal function declines, amount of toxins and wastes will accumulate in patients’ body thus affecting other organs and skin. The patients often have skin itch, dry skin and some patients even have brown chromatosis in their skin. Skin itch makes patients extremely uncomfortable and painful. If they scratch their skin with their hands frequently, it will make their skin thicken, keratinize and have lichenification. Skin itch is closely related to hyperthyroidism.

2. Respiratory disease

Some patients with CFR may have Uremic Pneumonia. There are two main causes of Uremic Pneumonia. First, uremic toxins cause the permeability of pulmonary alveoli to increase; second, the retention of water and sodium makes circulatory volume rise. In addition, about 15~20% of patients with CFR also have Uremic Pleuritis.

3. Blood systemic diseases

Many patients with CRF often have Renal Anemia. After their disease develops into End Stage Renal Failure, nearly 100% of patients will have Renal Anemia. The main causes of Renal Anemia are as follows:

(1) The patients often have vomit, nausea and poor appetite. Therefore, the patients can not get sufficient raw material of blood.

(2) Uremic toxins inhibit the bone marrow thus declining the production of red blood cells.

(3) Some patients often have bleeding in such as bleeding in digestive tract and so on.

(4) The most important cause is that kidney can not secrete enough hemopoietin thus causing the number of red blood cells to decline.

4. Electrolyte disturbance

As kidney can not discharge the excessive potassium in their body, they are very likely to have Hyperkalemia (potassium level in serum >5.5 mmol/L. There are several causes of Hyperkalemia.

(1) Eat too much food with high potassium

(2) Take medicines that contain high potassium

(3) Take medicines that can inhibit the potassium discharge from body


If the patients with PKD can not receive treatment as early as possible, it will cause a series of complications that can accelerate the disease development and cause more difficulties for treatment. Therefore, the patients should choose an effective therapy once they are diagnosed with the disease so as to prevent their disease from developing into Renal Failure.

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): Patients on Dialysis Should Keep a Healthy Diet

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disease and can run in the family. At present, there is no effective treatment for the disease. Once patients are diagnosed with the disease, it means that they have to live with the disease in the rest of their life. In most cases, the patients with PKD just receive some treatments to alleviate their symptoms not the disease itself. As a result, their renal function will decline gradually thus causing Renal Failure. At last, nearly all patients with PKD have to depend on dialysis to maintain their life. However, dialysis can cause lots of complications to patients. Among its complications, malnutrition can make patients’ resistibility decline, have infection and loss of stamina thus influencing patients’ normal life. Therefore, it is very important for patients with Renal Failure to keep a healthy diet to make up for nutrition lose when taking dialysis.

The patients on Dialysis should have higher protein intake than the normal. The patients on hemodialysis should keep their protein intake within 1~1.2grams/ kg per day and 1.2~1.5 grams for patients on peritoneal dialysis per day. Moreover, the patients should be very careful in selecting protein and should increase the quality protein intake such as lean meat, fish and other animal protein. However, the patients should decline the vegetable protein intake and even avoid eating food that contains vegetable protein for they contain too much non-essential amino acid and high phosphorus that can cause much burden to their kidney. In addition, the patients should also avoid eating animal offal that contains too high phosphorus. If the patients do not limit its intake, it is very likely to cause hyperkalemia.

Moreover, the patients on dialysis should not have too limitation on fruit, especially the patients on peritoneal dialysis. Dialysis can clear up potassium in body thus increasing the risk of hypokalemia. Therefore, some patients should eat more fruit that contain abundant potassium such as oranges. However, if the patients do not have urine, they should limit the intake of food that contains high potassium.

In addition, if the patients on hemodialysis do not have urine output, they should limit their water and salt intake strictly. For patients on peritoneal dialysis, if their urine output volume is normal, they do not need to limit their water or salt intake seriously.


Dialysis is a common treatment method for patients with Renal Failure. It affects patients’ normal life seriously and brings much pain to their body and mind. Therefore, the patients with PKD should treat their disease as early as possible so as to prevent their disease from developing Renal Failure thus making them live a normal life.

How to Keep Enough Vitamin Supplement Properly for PKD Patients on Dialysis

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is caused by abnormal gene and can run in the family. It brings much pain to thousands of families. In the western medicines, there are no effective treatments for the disease. Many patients just treat the symptoms such as Hypertension, pain and so on simply, but it does not have effect in preventing the renal function from declining. As a result, many patients end with Renal Failure and have to depend on dialysis to prong their life in the end. However, long term filtrating blood with dialysis can cause much vitamin lose, which does not benefit patients’ recovery. Then how to supply vitamins for patients on dialysis?

As dialysis can cause various kinds of vitamin lose, the patients should keep enough supplement in time. Generally speaking, the patients on dialysis do not have vitamin A insufficiency so they do not have need to supply it. If the patients have too much vitamin A supplement, it will cause them headache, nausea and other toxic reactions. As patients often lose much vitamin B in their dialysis, they should guarantee sufficient vitamin B intake. In vitamin B, vitamin B1 can improve digestion and maintain the normal activities of muscle and heart. Vitamin B2 has an effect in promote growth and the regeneration of cells. If the patients have vitamin B2 insufficiency, it will cause loss of hair, mouth ulcer. Moreover, vitamin B6 can improve the cells’ immunity and promote the absorption of protein and fat and prevent nerves system diseases thus can alleviate nocturnal muscle spasm. Generally speaking, the patients on dialysis do not have vitamin12 insufficiency so the patients need not increase the supplement of vitamin 12. In dialysis, the patients often also lose much vitamin C that is a necessary element for improving resistibility. Therefore, the patients should guarantee proper vitamin C intake and keep its intake within 100 mg per day.
However, the patients should avoid excessive vitamin C intake for extra supplement can cause calcium oxalate deposition in blood thus causing blood vessels calcification.


The patients within Renal Failure can lose much nutrition in dialysis so they should guarantee nutrition supplement based on their own disease condition under their doctors’ guidance. They should not just adjust their diet simply according to the general diet principles for the patients with Kidney Disease.

Find Chronic Kidney Diseases Early

Chronic kidney disease endanger people’s health nowadays. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is one of the chronic kidney diseases. We should find and treat this kind of disease as early as we can.

In developed countries, 6.5%-10% of people develop varied degrees of kidney diseases. The majority of people find they have kidney diseases when they catch a cold or get other diseases. Sometimes the disease is found in a physical examination. It is because there are no obvious symptoms at the beginning. Therefore it is easy to miss the best period to be treated. At last, some of them even need long-term dialysis, which will cost a lot of money.

We could find chronic kidney diseases from following methods.

Urinalysis could help us know if there is blood urine, proteinuria (protein in urine), cylindruria etc. Urine micro-albumin could help find kidney damages in early period. Relatively examinations should be done especially people who are accompanied with Diabetes, hypertension, family history of kidney diseases, rheumatism or people who take medications for a long time. It is due to the fact that all those factors could lead to chronic kidney diseases easily. For healthy people, it is better to have urinalysis once in a year. However for high risk group, it is better to check urine once in 3-5 months. Besides, when you catch a cold, both blood routine examination and urinalysis are needed. This is because cold is a factor that could cause many kidney diseases. For example, AGN will easily present two weeks later after one catches a cold. IgA Nephropathy can also be found after a cold because the disease has aggravated.

People who get acute or chronic amygdalitis easily need to pay more attention to urinalysis to see if there is streptococcus infection, which may cause kidney diseases.

Then if you find edema around your eyes or on your legs, hypertension when you are young, foam in urine, dark urine, back and belly pain, frequent urination during night or anemia, you need to see a doctor in time. Most of the time, they are symptoms of chronic kidney diseases.

Women who have married may present frequent micturition, urgent urination, odynuria, white blood cell or bacteria because of urinary tract infections. But if we don’t treat it in time, kidney mesenchyme damages could be caused. Even Renal Failure may present. So early find and early treatment is an important principle.


From above contents, we may find kidney diseases early and treat in time. Then our kidneys could be protected.
