Q: I was diagnosed with Multiple Kidney Cyst last year and my 14.6 inches
right / left 15.4 cm, Serum creatinine 1.45 mg / dl, 20% kidney function in each
kidney. Am I in a serious condition? In addition, my doctor says that I had
ascites (3000ml).
A: be honest, your condition is not good. The following are our
suggestions.
Firstly, your kidney function is low. The normal kidney function should be
about 100, however, each of your kidneys only has 20% kidney functions. PKD
seldom leads to symptoms or we can say it is a chronic disease, however, once
kidney function decreases, the GFR (GFR 13 and Creatinine 400, What Should I Do)
will decrease at the speed of 4.5 to 5.5. PKD will aggravate into Renal Failure
in 6 to 8 years. Seeing from clinical experience, the disease will aggravate
much more rapidly on children.
Secondly, the size of kidneys is big.The size of kidney is about 8 to 10 cm.
Yours Kidney size: 14.6 inches right / left 15.4 cm. Though we have not seen the
cysts on your kidneys, we can imagine there many water balloons in your
body.
Finally, your creatinine is also high, but there are no professional
medicines for lowering creatinine in western medicine area. If we don't lower
it, toxins will do more harm on kidneys. In our hospital, we apply Chinese
herbal medicine to lower it and the effects are good.
I still want to say something about ascites. If there is more than 3000ml
fluid in your stomach, your may have many symptoms, such as breathless, edema
lower limbs, nausea and even heart failure. So it is danagerous. Patients
usually are suggested to take diuretics, but long-term or large dose diuretics
do more harm than benefits. So what should we do? According to the
nephrologists, the cause of ascites is the kidney disease, so we must treat it
from the root. Control your renal cysts enlargement and improve your kidney
function is very important for you now.
If you are suffering from kidney cysts, you can send your medical report to
us. We will offer a health care plan for you.
