Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a disorder in which clusters of cysts develop primarily within your kidneys. Cysts are noncancerous round sacs containing water-like fluid.
Dialysis for Polycystic Kidney Disease
Kidney dialysis is a necessary treatment for people with end-stage kidney disease or permanent kidney failure. You need dialysis if you've lost about 85% to 90% of your kidney function. Temporary dialysis may be needed in some cases.
Hemodialysis is most commonly used to treat people with end-stage kidney disease. However, children who need dialysis usually receive peritoneal dialysis.
Kidney Transplant For Polycystic Kidney Disease
PKD can cause the kidneys to fail. Because kidneys are essential for life, people with ESRD must seek one of two options for replacing kidney functions: kidney transplantation. In hemodialysis, blood is circulated into an external filter, where it is cleaned before re-entering the body; in peritoneal dialysis, a fluid is introduced into the abdomen, where it absorbs wastes and is then removed. Transplantation of healthy kidneys into ESRD patients has become a common and successful procedure. Healthy-non-PKD-kidneys transplanted into PKD patients do not develop cysts.
Ayurveda For Polycystic Kidney Disease
Ayurveda has several medicines which can act on cysts and reduce both the number and size of cysts. In addition, there are several Ayurvedic medicines which act on abdominal cysts, benign tumours, and fluid filled pockets such that the size can either be reduced, or the growth can be dissolved completely. Ayurvedic medicines work effectively for polycystic ovaries, polycystic kidneys, as well as within the liver. Most such medicines are simple herbs which are completely safe for prolonged use and also have multiple benefits like improving the digestion, and improving the function of the affected organ such as ovary, kidneys and the liver. The proper use of such medicines therefore helps in conception in women having polycystic ovaries. Individuals who have polycystic kidneys can be treated so as to reduce the size and number of the cysts, in order to prevent complications like hypertension and chronic kidney failure.
Chinese Medicine For Polycystic Kidney disease
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has two goals: one is to shrink kidney cysts and the other is to improve kidney function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is created on the basis of TCM and it has overcome its disadvantages through the combination of advanced western medicine and traditional herbal medicine. This treatment, compared with oral herbal medicine, is externally applied on lower back skin so the pesticide effects can reach to the kidney lesion directly.
