Currently, most people with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) can not find an
effective measure in conventional treatments. Compare with surgery and modern
medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is more effective with its unique
functions. However, many patients know little about Traditional Chinese
Medicine.
What's Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used to remedy patients from
recorded time. Traditional Chinese Medicine mainly comes from herbs and plants,
as well as some insect and animal parts. Ancient Chinese hand down thousands of
prescriptions and most of them still work now. Normally, each prescription
contains many herbs and each herb has its special function in remedying certain
disease.
There are more than twenty kinds of Herbal Medicine which can remedy PKD,
including Szechwan Lovage Rhizome, Tetradium ruticarpum, ganoderma, Cordyceps,
etc.
How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat PKD?
Even Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) shows advantages in treating PKD over
western medicine, it has no functions in changing abnormal genes in patients
with PKD. Traditional Chinese Medicine is superior to conventional therapy,
because it not only can relives symptoms like western medicine, but also can
shrink renal cyst and restore renal functions.
★ Shrink renal cysts. Some herbs medicine can restrict cyst epithelial cell
secreting water-like fluids. Meantime, some herbs take increasing the cyst
membrane permeability as work. In this condition, cyst fluids will permeate
through membrane into blood and will be sent out through blood circulation.
Renal cysts will stop to grow and begin to shrink gradually.
★ Repair damaged kidneys and improve renal functions. Chinese Medicine takes
effects in improving renal functions mainly through remedying renal ischemia and
anemia. Some herb medicines have effects of anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation
as well as preventing blood viscosity, dilating blood vessels and degrading
extra cellular matrixes. Therefore, Chinese herb medicine can improve blood
circulation and thereby improve ischemia and anoxia of renal tissues. Study
shows that ischemia and anoxia are the key factors of renal fibrosis. With
sufficient blood and oxygen, most impaired renal cells and renal tissues will
recover from injury and renal functions will surely improve accordingly.
