There are different medical therapies for Polycystic Kidney Disease in this world. In some countries, doctors adopt surgery to remove the big cyst and at the same time leave the small cysts alone. However, as the biggest cyst is removed, there is much more space to allow these small cyst enlarge, so it is not the best medical therapy at all. In some other countries, patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease are told to wait and then adopt dialysis or kidney transplant when most of their kidney functions are damaged. It is hard for patients to accept such a fact.
However, with Immunotherapy, you can be totally free from dialysis, kidney transplant or repeated surgery. As we know, not all the person with parents suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease develop this disease, then why do some people suffer from it; however, others do not? The answer is related with our immune system.
For patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, their abnormal immune system stimulates lining cells which is the major ingredient of wall of cyst. Once lining cell is stimulated, they will differentiate into more and more lining cells. Lining cell has functions of secreting cyst fluid and as the count of lining cyst increases, cyst fluid increases therewith. Thereby, the key point of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease is to adjust immune system and stop the further stimulation to the lining cells. Besides, under the effects of Chinese medicines, cysts also can be shrunk effectively.
Immunotherapy is just such a medical therapy which focuses on adjusting immune system. As long as abnormal immune system returns to normal and kidney functions are recovered, Polycystic Kidney Disease will have great chance to live freely with these cysts.
