Q: My mother is 65 years old and was just diagnosed with PKD. She just had a
CT scan and an ultrasound. She also had her creatinine tested and it was 0.7.
She has a fist size cyst on her liver approximately 5cm. We live in the states
but I am interested in the Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy
for her. Is it affordable?
PKD is a kind of genetic kidney disease, so is there anyone in your family
having this disease? It has various complications, like back pain, abdominal
mass (enlarged kidney), hematuresis, hypertension, cyst infection, in the end
stage, patients may have hard breathing, nausea, vomit etc. In addition, many
organs will be involved, like liver, pancreas. Patients may also some
cardiovascular disease.
The traditional treatment method for PKD is operation, like laparoscopic
renal cyst decortications and pumping fluid hardening operation. But these
operations just aim at the big cysts and leave the small ones alone. Although
the elimination of big cysts can ease the pressure on kidney, it also offers
space for the small ones which will grow quite fast.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can promote the blood circulation of the
cysts wall, then the liquid will be absorbed and decreased. As the pressure
inside the cyst decreases, the size of cyst also can become small. Once the
pressure to the kidney is eliminated, the renal function will recover gradually
and some discomforts will disappear.
You told me your mother’s creatinine is 0.7, that suggest your mother’s renal
function is damaged not serious and then Immunotherapy transplant will not be
needed and this will also ease your financial burden.
You told me she also has cyst on liver. This is common for PKD patients, and
once cysts on kidney are eased, the cysts on other organs will become small and
even disappear naturally.
I suggest your mom take the treatment timely. Now she is in the early stage
of disease, this also makes the treatment easier. If her cyst continue to grow
and damage her renal function, besides the high cost, it will become harder to
stop the further aggravation of her disease. If you have other questions, please
feel free to ask me. My contact mail is kidney-treatment@hotmail.com
