Causes and Symptoms of Cystic Disease In The Kidneys

Cystic disease in the kidneys means that there is one or multiple fluid-filled round pouches in one or both kidneys and these cysts will experience progressive enlargement and impair kidney functions.
What are the causes of renal cystic diseases ?
As to the cause of renal cysts, there is no unified view. Both congenital cause and acquired cause have their basis.
One view holds that the cause of kidney cysts is the same as that of Polycystic Kidney Disease---that is the congenital factors, only if their degrees are not the same. And this view is more popular at present, that is to say most people think that the renal cysts are caused by congenital developmental defects.
In the process of development, the defects in the renal collecting tubules, renal tubules and their joints will cause the excretory duct to connect with the functioning glomeruli. This will cause the cyst in the kidney to enlarge and oppress the surrounding renal parenchyma which will obstruct the normal renal tubules, resulting in the lack of blood and oxygen supply to the renal cells and tissues and the kidney functions will be damaged progressively. One of the typical symptoms is progressive hydronephrosis.
Other scholars hold that the cystic disease is caused by acquired factors after birth. In animal experiments, we found that if the experimental specimens’ renal tubules are obstructed, they will suffer from ischemia and then the simple kidney cysts. This experiment indicates that the cystic disease in the kidneys might be caused by acquired factors.
Actually the exact causes (Causes for Kidney Cyst)of kidney cysts are remain unclear at present and the above are just the current speculation of its causes and the real causes have not been confirmed.
Symptoms and treatments for renal cysts in the kidneys
Though the root cause is unclear, we know that some factors will worsen the illness condition and when the cyst is larger than 3cm, it requires timely and effective treatments or the cysts will continue to enlarge and stretch the renal capsule and cause pains and other symptoms to the patients such as hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria and cystic masses in the kidneys. If this condition is left untreated, the enlarged cystic mass will oppress normal kidney structure and start renal fibrosis and in the end affect the kidney’ functions and there will be a series of clinical manifestations such as increase of creatinine level, uric acid and urea nitrogen, etc.
Therefore once diagnosed with cystic diseases in the kidneys, patients should seek proper treatments (The Best and Most Natural Treatment for Kidney Cysts)as soon as possible to protect their kidneys from loss of functions.
