When you have a back pain and your blood pressure elevates at the same time,
you need take ultrasound test to figure out whether it is a PKD. Then some
people would feel confused why PKD can cause high blood pressure and back pain?
Cysts can enlarge over time and it can press renal tissues and stretch nerves
around kidneys, so it can make people feel dull back pain and this pain can even
radiate to your thign. Enlarged cysts can cause bad blood circulation in kidneys
so as to activate RAAS which can elevate blood pressure. Over time, various
complications resulting renal problems will haunt you. Therefore, it is quite
necessary to treat PKD timely.
What is PKD and what kind of people may suffer PKD?
PKD is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease and usually have a family
history. And its incidence rate is 50% and the abnormal gene can be passed from
generation to generation. Is there any other people have this disease in your
family? With the enlargement of cysts, patient's kidney will become big so your
belly will enlarge correspondingly. Patients usually have some common symptoms
like high blood pressure, discontinuous hematuria, back pain, fatigue and so on.
What symptoms or discomforts do you have now?
What risks does PKD bring and How to alleviate these risk?
Actually, the most dangerous factor for PKD is the enlarged cyst can press
normal renal tissue, causing ischemia and anoxia in kidneys. Kidney can fail to
work gradually. There is no effective treatment which can remove genetic disease
at present. But that is not to say we can do nothing about this disease.
Cllinical experience show that as long as we can control the enlargement of
cysts, renal function can be protected and patient can lead a normal life in
that case. It is proven that the smaller cysts are, the fewer discomforts there
is. So early treatment is quite necessary to reduce the discomforts and halt the
aggravation of renal function.
What conservative treatment can be available and how does it work?
Conservative treatment is termed compared to conventional treatment.
Conventional treatment mainly refers to surgery in western medicine. Doctors use
a needle to drain out the cystic liquid. Big cysts can be shrunk rapidly by this
invasive treatment. However, small cysts can not be dealt with by this method so
patients have to take surgery successively. Conservative treatment can be also
called natural treatment, that is, patients can solve their discomforts by
traditional Chinese medicine rather than surgery. This treatment can restrain
hyperplasia of cystic cells and the secretion of cystic liquid, meanwhile, it
can increase the permeability of cystic wall so that cysts can be halted from
further enlargement. And then kidney can avoid pressures from cysts so renal
function can be protected.
