It can’t be denied that dialysis is an important technique in treating kidney
disease. Can dialysis treat the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)? In
many counties, it is believed that Polycystic Kidney Disease patients have no
other choice but dialysis and kidney transplant because this is a kind of
genetic disease, while how much do you know about dialysis?
Dialysis is a process for removing waste and excess water from the blood, and
is primarily used to provide an artificial replacementfor lost kidney function
in people with renal failure. Dialysis may be used for those with an acute
disturbance in kidney function (acute kidney injury, previously acute renal
failure) or for those with progressive but chronically worsening kidney
function–a state known as chronic kidney disease stage 5 (previously chronic
renal failure or end-stage kidney disease). The latter form may develop over
months or years, but in contrast to acute kidney injury is not usually
reversible, and dialysis is regarded as a "holding measure" until a renal
transplant can be performed, or sometimes as the only supportive measure in
those for whom a transplant would be inappropriate.
Therefore, dialysis is also called “artificial kidney”. But patients should
know that their kidney function won’t be improved during the dialysis and the
kidney diseases are still developing. This is why the dialysis frequency of many
kidney disease patients increases from once a week to three times a week
gradually.
So, to treat the disease of polycystic kidney disease, we must proceed from
the enlargement of the cysts. Although we can’t eliminate the root cause-gene-
this disease, we can control the enlargement of the cysts and reduce the damage
to the kidney. Before you have to take dialysis, the patients should not give up
and they should treat this disease positively and control the development as
much as possible.
And the good news is that there are Micro-Chinese Medicine and Immunotherapy
as the new choice for the patient to treat this disease without operations you
