Dialysis for Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD): Right or Wrong

Many patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD) are put on dialysis out of helplessness and advice from doctors. Then is dialysis right or wrong for Polycystic Kidney Disease patients? Is there a better way available?

Dialysis, a kidney substitute therapy, is usually applied when the kidneys are severely damaged and can not fulfill their normal filtrating and excreting functions. Although dialysis can help temporarily excrete accumulated metabolic wastes, the kidneys can not be repaired through dialysis.

As our body produces metabolic wastes continuously, patients will have to rely on dialysis to excrete the wastes. On the one hand, after dialysis, patients feel temporarily relieved; one the other hand, however, besides the cost, each time after dialysis, patients may feel rather fatigued. In addition, chances of complications and infections will increase with time.

Polycystic Kidney Disease, characterized by growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys, develops gradually and continuously. The cysts develop both in number and in size with time, gradually causing kidney augment in size and in shape. The augmented cysts put pressure on the kidneys, pressing kidney nephrons and renal tissues. Consequently kidney function declines gradually. In case kidneys are so severely damaged that they can not fulfill their normal filtrating functions of metabolic wastes. At this time, dialysis is taken into consideration, which, is not a fundamental way and can not prevent the cysts from growing.

Dialysis, right or wrong? The advantage of dialysis lies in that it can temporarily help to get rid of metabolic products, which creates a stable internal environment for another therapy to take on effect. Such a therapy should have the function of controlling and shrinking the cysts. We may seek the answer from traditional Chinese medicine which has thousands of years' history and can treat disease from root causes.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, more than simple Chinese medicine, is the super-finely shattered Chinese medicine of kidney disease. With external application, the effective medicine is penetrated to kidney lesions, for which the medicine can be made full use of. Compared with dialysis, they are easy to perform and brings no side effects.

More exactly, Micro-Chinese Medicine can function to shrink and control the cysts from two aspects;

Firstly, expand blood vessels around the cysts, accelerate blood circulation on cyst walls, promote permeability on cyst walls, reverse the pressure difference between the internal of the cysts and blood vessels; eventually cystic fluid can be reabsorbed and excreted with urine.

Secondly, soften cyst walls and prevent the cyst from swelling by inhibiting secretion of cyst epithelial cells, for which the cysts can be withdrawn gradually.

With the above two measures, the cysts can be withdrawn and well controlled. And relapse can also be avoided.
