Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a progressive and debilitating kidney
disease. This disease is characterized by numerous cysts formed in the kidneys.
The common symptoms of PKD contain:
● Occult blood in urine (Hematuria, cola-colored urine)
● High blood pressure
● Cysts in other organs
● Urinary tract infections
The major cause of PKD is hereditary factors, although it has also been
linked to other factors, such as gene mutation. PKD will run in the families.
PKD is a progressive disease that develops slowly in the early stage often over
the course of decades. However, it can develop very fast when symptoms occurred.
Most patients will advance into kidney failure if no effective treatment is
received to control the growth of kidney cysts. In the following articles, I
will mainly introduce the symptom of occult blood in urine for PKD patients.
Most patients do not feel their disease is a concern until they find occult
blood in urine, which makes them to go for medical help. There are mainly two
reasons which can lead to occult blood in urine.
1. Cysts bleeding: with the continuous growth of kidney cysts, when they are
4cm larger in diameter, there is high possibility that they are going to
rupture.
Most patients have cysts rupture even without provocation. When cysts
break, the red blood cells from the blood vessel will go out of body with urine.
Cyst bleeding is the main reason of occult blood in urine occurs.
2. The damage of kidney units: the continuous growth of kidney cysts will
damage kidney units. Gradually, kidneys will lose its function and the
glomerular filtration membrane and the renal tubules will be damaged. When the
filtration membrane and the renal tubules are damaged, the red blood cells will
filter out, while the renal tubules can not also reabsorb them. Thus, these red
blood cells will go out of body with urine.
To deal with occult blood in urine, patients should not only take
hemostatics, which is temporary. To deal with the problem, a natural therapy is
needed.
Surgeries are not proper because so many cysts are involved, experts
have found a natural therapy-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. If you need
