My name is Jenna, and I am 42 years old. Fifteen years ago, Polycystic Kidney Disease claimed my mother’s life when she was just 50. My local doctor told us
Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of hereditary disease and we sisters have a
50% chance to get it. So, he suggested us to perform a check in hospital.
Actually, I am a bit shocked because I was only 28 years old. At the best
time of my life, I saw my mother agony fighting against the disease. I am very
scared because I have a daughter and I do not want die so young. I was to scared
to perform a check.
Two days later, I was told that my sister is diagnosed with PKD (Polycystic
Kidney Disease). I was deeply desperated. Finally, I was forced to perform a
check in my local hospital. Unfortunatly, I couldn’t escape from PKD which is
really a disater for me.
Therefore, I was on my way of seeking medical help here and there and I still
could not find a satisfactory one. For six years' time, the illness did not pose
any symptoms and I did not receive any treatment. However, in the seventh year
after I was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease. I began to experience high
blood pressure and back pain. What was worse, in March of 2009, the cysts break
and my serum creatinine reached up 201.0umol/L (the normal reference range
40-97umol/L) with anemia. The biggest cyst was up to 7cm. This seemed as a bolt
from the blue for me.
Finally, I saw Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, China on the Internet. I
went there just to have a try because I had no where to go.
I can never imagine everyone here is so friendly and enthusiastic. The nurses
take me just like their members. They helped me wash my clothes and cook Chinese
food for me. I can see hope from their smiling face and eyes. I was deeply moved
and I really appreciate.
Three days later, I got my examination results: Serum Creatinine 215umol/L,
Urea Nitrogen: 12mmol/L (the normal range 2-6.9mmol/L). My hemachrome decreases
to 90g/L (the normal range 110-160g/L) because of bleeding. Additionally, I also
had Urinary Tract Infection. Doctors and nurses gave me a lot of encouragement
at that time.
In the following 30 days, I stayed in Shijiazhuang Kidney Hospital to receive
their therapies: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy. The
doctor told me that Micro-Chinese Medicines are made from natural plants, so
they do not cause side effects. Many patients’ illness condition had go better
through Immunotherapy. This combined therapy can shrink the cysts effectively.
Doctors here made three standards for me according to my specific condition
(rest standard, diet standard, environment standard). It was really new for
me.
One month later, the doctor ordered a series of examinations for me. The
result really gave me a surprise: the biggest cysts was just 4cm. After that, I
took Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy for about three months in my home for
consolidation.
Now, I am living a happy life without any pain from my illness. What I really
want to say is “Thank you so much” to everyone in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease
Hospital.
