There is no cure for PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) by far, so the current
treatment focuses on preventing stopping progression and the complications of
PKD. If the patients can get a correct and reasonable treatment, the clinical
symptoms and renal functions would be controlled
Find the Disease as soon as possible:
It is estimated that PKD has a tendency for heredity with the rate of 60%~70%
and the roughly equal chance of being affected by men and women. So, there is a
possibility that many people are being affected at the same time in a family
that has the medical history of PKD. Since the attacking of the PKD is not
appearing until the age of 25-35, even until the symptoms of renal failure, so
to the people who have the family history of PKD, we should do the general
investigation and regular follow-up visit so as to find and treat their disease
ASAP.
Early Prevention and Treatment for Complications:
The common complications for PKD are hypertension, urinary tract infection
and ruptured cysts, which are also the important factors that induce and
aggravate the damage of renal function. So, promptly treatment and control
should be adopted. Yet, in the process of medications, pay attention to the
renal toxicity effect of the medicines. If there are cases of constant blood
urine, or severe lumbago, or stomachache etc, they are probably caused by blood
infection or ruptured cysts. In such circumstances, the patients should see a
doctor in a hospital so as not to delay the condition of illness and worsen the
renal failure.
Centesis of Kidney Cysts:
Centesis of kidney cysts is widely used in recent years, which is applied
into various kinds of pathosis of kidney cysts. The aim of this treatment is, by
the paracentesis toward cysts, to eliminate and alleviate the stress from around
nephridial tissues, restore the renal plasma flow(RPF) and lessen the damage to
the kidney.
Traditional Chinese Medicines:
The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a considerable effect in the
treatment for the chronic kidney failure, especially to the patients in their
early and medium stages, which could improve obviously the clinical symptoms,
control the development of illness and lower the level of blood creatinine and
urea nitrogen. Considering the renal failure evoked by PKD, such medicines could
be selected and used, for example, dangshen, astragalus, angelica, rheum
officinal, danshen, trigone, zedoary, radix achyranthis bidentatae, herba
epimedii, hedyotidis herba etc, which have a favourable effect in treatment.
Years of clinical practice suggest that, the TCM has an effective rate of over
86% in the treatment for chronic renal failure.
Home Nursing and Nourishing:
The renal failure of PKD is a kind of disease with chronic development, which
could be aggravated frequently by mood swing, excessive fatigues, inordinate
dieting or tumble in trauma etc. Hence, the patients with PKD should keep an
open and cheerful mind, make a balance between work and rest, build the
confidence in conquering the disease and cooperate with the treatment. In the
diet, it is ought to be a delicate and fresh flavour and rich in nutrition.
Meanwhile, eat more fruits and regulate appropriately the intake of the protein.
When it is obvious in hypertension dropsy, the intake of sodium salt should be
restricted. Moreover, the patients could participate into some proper
recreational activities yet to avoid the squeezing and crash in the part of
their waist and belly lest the fracture and bleeding of the cysts. More
