Hematuria is one of the main symptoms for Polycystic Kidney Disease and is
also what most patients are concerned about. Then how does hematuria appear? How
to treat hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease? In the following passage,we
will focus on the causes and treatment for hematuria of Polycystic Kidney
Disease.
Causes for Hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease
For patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, usually there exist multiple
cysts of various sizes in the kidneys; Over time, the cysts increase in number
and augment in size, leading the kidneys to getting increased in size and heavy
in weight. As a result of the pressure of the cysts on the kidneys, renal
hypoxia and anoxia develops, which may lead to high blood pressure and increase
the possibility of cyst rupture. Caused by the augmented cysts or other factors
such as combined kidney stones, infections and crashes, the cyst get ruptured,
leading to hematuria. Generally hematuria may last for one to several days, and
there may be microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria with urine pink, red or
brown-red colors.
In case hematuria appears, patients should take a positive treatment and
necessary nursing measures which may include prevention of infections, diet
controlling, avoid strenuous exercise and so on.
Treatment for hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease
Hematuria is a result of the pressure of continuously growing cysts on the
kidneys, therefore, the proper treatment should be aimed at preventing the cysts
from growing and shrinking the cysts. More than surgeries, we recommend a
conservative therapy which requires no surgeries and can treat the cysts without
bring side effects. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is just such a therapy.
The functioning mechanism of this osmosis therapy in treating Polycystic Kidney
Disease can be summarized from two aspects:
1. Soften cyst wall, improve circulatory disturbance between blood vessels
and the cyst, increase permeability on cyst wall, prevent cyst epithelial cells
from secreting; therefore, the cyst can be controlled from growing.
2. Accelerate blood circulation by expanding blood vessels so as to improve
renal anoxia and hypoxia, decrease blood pressure in the cysts and lead cyst
liquid to being excreted out with urine.Consequently the cysts can be
shrinked.
As long as the cysts can be well controlled and shrinked, hematuria and pains
related to cyst rupture can also be well controlled.
