Symptoms of Kidney Cysts

Many patients are familiar with Kidney Cyst which means the cystic mass in kidneys. There are no obvious symptoms in early stage. Only when patients take examinations can they know that they have cysts in kidneys. Patients need to know the symptoms of Kidney Cyst so that early treatments can be taken.

1. Pains or discomfort in waist and abdominal
With the enlargement and expansion of kidney, tension of renal capsule increases or adjacent organs are squeezed. Besides, Kidney polycystin lead to more water existing in kidneys. Thus, kidneys become heavy and pull down causing pains. The pains can be dull pain fixed in one side or both sides and extending to waist and back. Pains can increase suddenly if intracystic bleeding or secondary infection occurs. If this disease is combined with stones or blood clots block urinary tract, renal colic also occurs.

2. Hematuria
It can show microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria. Its attack presents cyclicity. Strenuous exercise, trauma and infections can induce or aggravate hematuria. Because of increasing pressure or infections, vascular wall rupture or bleed due to excessive traction.

3. Abdominal mass
Abdominal mass is the main cause for patients to see doctors. 60% to 80% patients can reach the enlarged kidneys. Generally, the larger the kidneys are, the poor the kidney function is.

4. Proteinuria
Proteinuria is less than 2g in 24-hour urine. Nephrotic Syndrome does not occur in most of the cases.

5. Hypertension
Kidneys are oppressed by cysts causing renal ischemia, more renin is secreted resulting in high blood pressure. When kidney function is normal, more than 50% patients have high blood pressure. When renal dysfunction occurs, incidence rate of high blood pressure will be higher.

6. Renal dysfunction
Cysts press the tissues around them so that there is a significantly reduction of normal kidney tissues, thus causing progressive decline of kidney function.
Hope what mentioned above is helpful. Patients of Kidney Cysts should know the symptoms early so that they can take effective treatment. Besides, they should also pay attention to the daily care.

Treatment for Bilateral Polycystic Kidney with High Blood Pressure

Bilateral Polycystic Kidney refers to multiple cysts developing within both kidneys. High blood pressure is commonly seen in this medical condition.
How does high blood pressure occur in Bilateral Polycystic Kidney?

In Bilateral Polycystic Kidney, the cysts increase in both size and number with age. The growing cysts can compress the adjacent kidney tissues and/or renal arteries, thus activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. As a result, the blood vessels contract and blood volume increases, thus resulting in high blood pressure.
How to lower high blood pressure in Bilateral Bilateral Polycystic Kidney?

* Kidney friendly diet
As mentioned above, increased blood volume is a major factor of elevating blood pressure. Therefore, it is very important for people with Bilateral Polycystic Kidney to reduce the intake of fluid and sodium. If the patients have kidney damage, they are recommended to reduce salt intake to to 0.3 grams each day. In early stage of Bilateral Polycystic Kidney, if the patients do not have kidney damage, they are suggested to drink plenty of fluid to reduce the formation of stone and reduce the incidence of infection. However, if their kidney function has declined obviously, reducing salt intake is a very important part in treating the disease.

* Medications for high blood pressure
ACEI and ARB are two kinds of classic medications to control blood pressure. Meanwhile, they also have certain effect in preserving residual renal function. If these drugs do not work well, more medications may be required.

* Shrink the large cysts
As large cysts are underlying causes of high blood pressure in Bilateral Polycystic Kidney, the primary treatment goal should aim at shrinking the cysts and stopping their further enlargement. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been adopted for years in treating Bilateral Polycystic Kidney. It is a natural therapy free of invasive effects completely.

Once the cysts become small and the compression to kidneys are eliminated, the blood pressure will reduce gradually.

Side Effects of Dialysis

Currently, dialysis is the common method to treat kidney disease. Most patients with kidney disease have taken dialysis and known about this treatment. But what are the side effects of dialysis?

1. Hypophosphatemia
There is no phosphorus in dialysate, so hypophosphatemia will occur in patients who take dialysis. If the condition is serious, respiratory insufficiency may occur. Therefore, phosphorus should be added in dialysate to make the phosphorus content be 1.3mmol/L so as to prevent hypophosphatemia.

2. Alkalosis
Quantities of basic groups can be found in dialysis to correct metabolic acidosis. Therefore, patients may have alkalosis and feel nausea, headache and weakness. The serious ones may have cardiac disorders and even die suddenly.

3. Imbalance syndrome
Generally, detoxification therapy chooses conventional dialyzer. If efficient dialyzer is used, imbalance syndrome will occur.
In addition, when patients choose to take dialysis, they should think about the future because of the long-term of dialysis. Firstly, long-term dialysis increases the difficulties and costs. Secondly, systemic organs are damaged obviously. Third, severe complications increase after dialysis. Fourth, patients have poor quality of life and live a short time. The original kidney functions are exhausted and patients can’t choose dialysis method which is suitable for their own conditions. Fifth, Dialysis in late period increases the costs.

Dialysis is not the only way to treat kidney disease. There has its characteristic therapy to treat kidney disease---Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy can control the occurrence of complications. Characteristic and pure Chinese medicine can act on kidney lesion directly by penetration therapy in vitro. The active substances in Chinese medicine can expand blood vessels and provide blood and oxygen for the damaged cells by increasing effective systemic perfusion. Therefore, it can relieve the state of ischemia and hypoxia and reduce the continuous damage to renal cells.

Kidney disease itself is not terrible, what terrible are complications it causes. Patients need to choose the correct treatment. Hope what mentioned above is helpful.
