Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease, ADPKD as its short name, is a
typical genetic kidney disease in which the kidneys are covered with numerous
cysts. Medicines for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease are used to
alleviate the symptoms and control the renal cysts, as well as improve kidney
conditions.
Anti-hypertensive Medicine
Anti-hypertensive medicines are very common for patients with ADPKD,
especially for 40s-year-old patients when renal cysts cause high blood pressure
dramatically. ACEI, ARB, Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and diuretics
are common in drug store. If high blood pressure is left untreated, it narrows
kidney arteries, worsening the kidney functions.
Pain Killer
Back pain, flank pain, side pain, stomach pain and even headache are symptoms
of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease. If you suffer the extreme pain,
your doctors may prescript some common pain killers. However, the pain killer is
used properly under a medical doctor’s supervision, which is safe and effective.
Abuse of this medicine can cause side effects. Or you can try the natural pain
killer, acupuncture, which also helps shrink renal cysts in your kidneys.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine was established more than 2500 years ago, which
is used to treat the ADPKD in Ancient China. This medicine is mainly utilized to
control the underlying renal cysts, but it also alleviates the symptoms
spontaneously. This natural therapy can shrink the renal cysts naturally.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
This plays the same functions of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The difference
is that this therapy is designed as an external application which avoids the
disadvantages of Traditional Chinese Medicine, including bitter taste, slow
effect and harm to digestive organs.
Immunotherapy
This treatment is not a surgery, which leads to no pain, no trauma.
Immunotherapy are implanted by intravenous drip. This therapy is not necessary
for all patients for it is used to improve kidney functions. If your kidney
functions are less than 30%, you need take a consideration.
Medicines for ADPKD are more than these ones. However, different conditions
ask for different choices. Not every medicine is suitable for your conditions.
You can have a talk with your doctors or ask free help from our online service
with your individual condition.
