Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the
growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. In the United States, about 500,000
people have PKD, and it is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. So,
patients with PKD are seeking for a effective treatment. Most patients with PKD
have family history, so it is necessary for you to take tests if you have the
family history. There are three common clinical tests that can be used to
diagnose a person with PKD: ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). If you have the family history of PKDsome unreasonable
back pain, blood urine or elevated blood pressure, it is necessary for you to
take some tests.
After diagnosed with the disease, the most important thing is to take
treatment as soon as possible. In our hospital, we mainly treat PKD by the
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy. If the cyst is smaller
than 3cm and patients have no obvious symptoms, they can only choose
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. How the two therapies work? How about the
effects? Most patients with PKD want to know the answers.
First of all , Micro-Chinese Medicine can expand the blood vessels on the
face of cysts, accelerate the blood circulation, promote the permeability of
cyst wall, then the sac liquid can flow out through the cyst wall with the blood
circulation. In this way, cysts will be narrowed. However, how to prevent the
appearance of new cysts? Micro-Chinese Medicine has functions in repairing
damaged kidneys, thus recovering kidney functions. After kidney functions have
been improved, the toxins, excessive fluid and sac liquid will be eliminated
with the urine. So, we can prevent the sac liquid flow into cysts, thus
preventing the appearing of new cysts and the enlargement of small cysts as
well.
The main function of the Immunotherapy is improving renal function . You may
know that, the kidneys are mainly made up of glomerulus, if the GFR decreasing,
the kidneys will lose function. Then, even there is no cysts, the kidneys are
dead.
We use Immunotherapy not only to improve the GFR, but also to prevent it
from decreasing. Only there is renal function, there is great hope for we to
improve the shape and size of kidneys.
Immunotherapy can generate active cells to replace the dead cells on the
cysts, thus improving the permeability of cells. Then the fluid can flow out the
cyst and eliminated with the blood circulation. In addition, after improving the
renal function by Immunotherapy, the fluid can be eliminated by the kidneys,
that is, filtrated through glomerulus. So, you see, less fluid enter the cyst as
well as less and less fluid in cysts eliminated. The cysts will be small and
gradually disappear, in this way can we improve the shape and size of
kidneys.
