Suffering from Polycystic Kindey D.isease


1. PKD is a hereditary disease, patients with this disease when they were born. Normally, it is not easy for people to test the PKD before 20 years old, and Western doctor suggest patients have the regular body check, and observe the growth condition of renal cysts.
2.  When PKD patients at the age of 30-40, the renal cysts begin to grow quickly. Western doctor suggest no treatment for this period, just observe the growth of renal cysts. If some patients present high blood pressure, they just need to treat the high blood pressure.
3.  After the age of 40, patients go into a period which is called 'enlargement period'. The renal cysts become more and more big, and the size of the biggest renal cyst is over than 4 cm, the renal cyst have the chance to burst. Patients begin to present some symptoms like backpain,hematuresis,proteinuria,high blood pressure etc.
Normally, Western medicine will follow these steps to treat polycystic kidney:
    1) wait the cysts become enough big.
    2.) 95% anhydrous alcohol is inputed into renal cysts for solidifying capillary, then liquid can't go into renal cysts.
4.  abstract the cystic liquid from renal cyst-----this operation may be called puncture. Please notice that these measures will damage the kidney, especially for the nephron which is the basic part of kidney. At present, all Western Medicine just treat the symptoms of kidney, they can't treat the disease from the root.
This period is the most important for PKD period, if they can get the proper treatment as soon as possible, the growth speed of renal cysts can be delayed, the remaining kidney function can be protected, and the renal cysts can become more and more small by self-reabsorption.
5. Renal cysts will bust under effection of some external factors, if the renal cysts are big enough. It is very easy to get infection in this period, patients should prevent the occurrence of Ichorrhemia and Renal Failure.
6. Uremia(end stage renal failure) Period. This is the end stage of kidney disease.
