Fatigue And Tried In Polycystic Kidney Disease


Q :
1. PKD means you have many cysts grow on your kidneys. With age become old, the kidney cysts will become bigger, and then press the kidney tissues and damage the kidney function. At that time, patients will present the symptoms like foam in urine, hematuria, dizziness, swelling, backpain, fatigue etc. With the kidney cysts become big enough, the patients will secrete the cystic liquid which is very easy to get infection in the kidneys. The final result of PKD is kidney failure.
Now, you are very young, only 49 years old, and the most important thing is that you still have the urine output, which means your kidneys still working, so you have more chance to enhance your kidney function and delay the development of kidney disease.
2. The root of your disease is the kidney cysts, therefore, you should reduce the size of kidneys. Normally, according to our medical technology, Chinese acupuncture has very good function for dredging the channel, but it can't reduce the size of your kidney cysts. And You said you take some Chinese Medicine, it is a kind of oral-taking medicines? After taking these medicines, dose your kidney cysts reduce? Do you know the size of your biggest kidney cysts?
3. Now you feel tried is because the kidney cysts begin to press your kidney tissues, the kidneys can't secrete enough EPO to produce the red blood, so your body lack of enough nutrition and red blood, so the muscle lack of strength, you always feel fatigue, tried.
A: 
1. Yes, I have many cysts on my left kidney's exit. When they have detected this ilness with the CT scan in 2008, they did not see cysts in the right kidney, but the right kidney was very swollen, perhaps because of the extra work it is doing to compensate the left kidney. The back pain has started right after my second operation to cure endometriosi. I think anesthesia has done a very bad effect on my kidneys, and on my hormonal system
2. I don't think the size of the cysts have been reduced with acupuncture, I am not sure they are reduced, since lately i observe more symptoms. As for the herbal medicine, it is taken orally, and i think it has delayed the development of the disease because i am treated with herbs, chinese and other since 2008, and because the first blood tests after discovering the cysts was desastrous: high levels of creatinine, uric acid and the percentage of filtration was only 54. The latest blood tests i took, three months ago, the filtration level was about 70 and the uric acid and creatinine has decreased below the highest accepted level. The herbs are oral taken. I feel lately that i need more than this.
The size of the cysts altogether, according to what i remember from the CT scan are about the third of my kidney, and as i said they block the total exit to the tube, perhaps the biggest one is about two or three centimeters. The right kidney, as it is swollen, looks a third time bigger than the left one.
3. Yes, i think you are right. Actually, I have anemia since i was very young, and my red blood cells are smaller than what they should be.
4. I don't know if i have cysts in my pancreas or liver, but from the symptoms, i have pains in the liver from time to time, and i am also on herbal treatment and essential oils to enhance my liver function, as it seems to be feeble as well.
