Many patients with the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have the
symptom of "bleeding". In fact, the “bleeding” symptom is that there is blood in
the urine, which is called “hematuria” in clinical. Usually, hematuria is caused
by the burst of the cysts.
With the enlargement of the cysts, there will be the risk of the burst of the
cysts when the cysts are larger than 4cm. once the cysts ruptured, this may
cause infections and even may cause ichorrhemia. Besides, massive haemorrhage
may cause the hemorrhagic shock. The size of the kidney will enlarge with the
growth of the cysts, which will gradually compress the normal renal tissues and
cause the discomfort of the back and abdomen. With the progression of the
disease, the long-time compression of the renal tissue may damage the renal
function. The early symptoms may be hypertension, and then there will be
abnormal symptoms of urine test, such as proteinuria and hematuria. At this
time, these symptoms will make it difficult to treat the disease of Polycystic
Kidney Disease. Therefore, it is very important for patients to find and treat
this disease as early as possible.
For the treatment of the symptom of hematuria caused by Polycystic Kidney
Disease, it is more difficult because of its relapse. To treat hematuria
effectively, we must proceed from the multi-aspects: first, prevent from
infections after the hematuria. Because hematuria can easily cause the renal
infections, if we can prevent from the infections well, it may cause sustained
fever, systemic edema, renal swelling and even the sharp decline of renal
function. All of these may lead to the aggravation of the disease. Second,
during the treatment of hematuria, we should pay attention to the degree of
anemia. If the patients have the symptom of anemia originally, they should
enrich the blood supply early. Third, oral Chinese medicine has a good effect on
the repeated hematuria.
