Surgical Operation’s Damage to Polycystic Kidney Disease

People with Polycystic Kidney Disease are usually afraid of the enlargement of cysts. Each time when people take check up, they are eager to see whether the cysts grow bigger. Yes, the enlargement of cysts will more serious damage kidney tissues and will influence kidney function. If people don’t take measures timely, Polycystic Kidney Disease can deteriorate into Kidney Failure.

For there is no method which can cure Polycystic Kidney Disease, doctors only can suggest patients cutting off cyst through surgical methods. Actually surgical operation can not treat Polycystic Kidney, and what’s more, will lead to deterioration of disease. You can imagine the cysts as the grass. The grasses under the tree are little and weak while the grasses around the big tree are very strong because they have enough space and nutrition to support them to grow.

The surgery which gets the big cysts cut off will leave more space for the small cysts to grow. It can only relieve the uncomfortable feelings of patients temporarily. Please remember that common methods don’t stand for good methods. We should take more advanced methods to treat Renal Cysts and Polycystic Kidney Disease for the medical science developing fast.

There are many people with Polycystic Kidney Disease who have done several times of surgical methods to cut off the cysts have realized that surgical operation can relieve the pain in a short time but the interval time of surgical operation is shortening. One of the patient who have done three times operation and there is scar covering her whole abdomen. She said to our doctor that she herself didn’t want to see her abdomen.

Therefore, people with Polycystic Kidney Disease should use methods that can decrease the size of cyst and stop the enlargement of cysts. Surgical operation is equal to leave more space to those small cysts. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can promote blood circulation and then lower the pressure inside the cysts so that redundant fluid inside cysts will be absorbed by cyst wall. It also has the function of providing nutrient substances to repair damaged kidney tissues. 

High Creatinine Level and Polycystic Kidney Disease

. The Reason for High Creatinine Level

The occurrence of high creatinine level mainly results from the kidney impairment. Without effective treatment, the kidney impairment will result in the inability of kidneys to remove creatinine produced by muscle and food they take.

In this condition, the creatinine that should have been discharged along with the urine will build up in blood. And then the high creatinine level occurs.

2. What Causes Kidney Impairment?

As above mentioned, it is kidney impairment that causes the elevated creatinine level. Well then, what causes kidney impairment? There are mainly two factors that cause it: the cyst enlargement and the rupture of the cysts.

3. Methods to Reduce Creatinine Level

we can see that patients should control the size of the cysts and prevent the rupture of the cysts, so that the kidney impairment will not occur.

To control the size of the cysts, patients are recommended to receive Chinese herbal medicines treatment. If necessary, patients have to take dialysis to survive. Apart from medical treatment, patients had better keep away from peppery food and alcohol in case of the rapid growth of the cysts.

To prevent the rupture of the cysts, patients should avoid doing strenuous exercise.

It is worth noting that Chinese herbal medicines can also help repair kidney impairment.

In conclusion, patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease had better take relevant tests (B Ultrasound or CT) to examine the size of the cysts. Once they present some discomfort, they should go to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Kidney Cyst Easily Relapses after Surgeries

The surgeries in treating Kidney Cyst

The renal epithelial cells’ proliferation blocks renal tubules, making the wastes can not pass out of body. And the enlarged renal cysts will stress adjacent renal parenchyma, which leads to the ischemia and anoxia of kidneys. After your kidneys suffer this condition for a period, you will feel uncomfortable. Then you may go to hospital.

If your cyst is so big that it reaches the size which can be treated by surgical operation. There are two options for you: laparoscopic kidney cyst ablation as well as percutaneous aspiration and alcohol sclerotherapy. They have the some advantage that they can release the pressure suffering from cysts immediately and simultaneously reduce some endogenous factors by means of eliminating the cyst fluid.

Why kidney Cyst relapse after surgeries

Since surgical operation can not change your constitution and repair the damaged renal tissues, small cysts will grow big, which indicates your Kidney Cyst may relapse. There is no treatment in western medicine developed into advanced level which can radically cure Kidney Cyst.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy in treating Kidney Cyst

Micro-Chinese medicine Osmotherapy as a compensation for the disadvantage of surgical operation can control the progress of Kidney Cyst.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can improve the ischemia and anoxia of your kidneys. Through increasing permeability of the cyst wall and decreasing the pressure in the cyst, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can cause the fluid to flow into the blood vessel, shrinking the cyst. In addition, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is able to restrain the epithelial cells of the cyst secreting fluid and further impede the growth of the cysts.

Does Simple Kidney Cysts Need No Treatment?

The reasons for treatments of Simple Kidney Cyst

It is seldom found in daily life apart from in regular checkups. If you have had discomforts like flank pain or back pain, the cysts probably have been about 5cm and have stressed other renal tissues. At this moment, it needs to be treated. The large kidney cysts will arouse high blood pressure for the growth of cyst have stressed the blood vessels nearby, caused anoxia in kidney and increased rennin. At times, Simple Kidney Cyst will have its complication such as obstruction in kidney calices and abdominal infection if they are broken.

It is important for patients with Simple Kidney Cyst to take regular checkups, because the cysts have the tendency of canceration. B ultrasound can not distinguish benign cysts from the cancerous cysts. In CT, cysts in Simple Kidney Cyst normally have one cavity with smooth wall, but the wall of cancerous cysts has thorns and various thickness.

Treatments in treating Simple Kidney Cyst

As some cysts in Simple Kidney Cysts might not grow, the small cysts without symptoms need not treatments or some or some oral medicines if necessary. Without complications, the cysts can be shrunk by absorbing its fluid insides and injected absolute alcohol. To ease the severe blood pressure, operation can be adopted to removed their top cells, releasing the pressure and fluids. As for the infected kidneys or possible cancerous cysts, kidney removal will be taken into consideration.

The Answers to Some Questions about Renal Cysts

What are these cysts?
Is their growth to be malignant?
Will I get any problems with it in future?
The key points in answering those three questions lie in assuring this cyst belongs to which kind of diseases, simple cysts, multiple cysts or Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). As this patient has had middle renal insufficiency, the cyst might be caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease if he or she has no other kidney diseases, but it still needs some other tests to assure.
Polycystic Kidney Disease
If it belongs to PKD, a kind of hereditary disease, this patient may have one or several relatives with PKD. With genetic flaw, urine is easily blocked in the joint of renal tubules and renal collecting ducts, promoting cells of this part proliferating and causing cysts. As cysts grow, other renal tissues will be squeezed to open renal fibrosis and lose their functions. The person with PKD is destined to have its symptoms on exertion. Without effective treatments, renal insufficiency and the End Stage Kidney Failure will occur sooner or later. Therefore, the cysts of PKD can not be malignant like cancer but their growth will bring Kidney Failure to the patients.
Simple cysts and multiple cysts
Both diseases have no relationship with genes. With unknown pathogenesis, most scholars attribute it to acquired wound, infection or cancer. Generally, they will not arouse severe symptoms. Those cysts are probably cured, for its cysts will not proliferate malignantly. They will not bring serious damages to renal intrinsic cells, so renal insufficiency or Kidney Failure usually can not be found among patients with Simple cysts or multiple cysts. Since the scan proves those cysts are benign, this cyst can not be kidney cancer, for benign cysts can be distinguished from cancer by their appearance in the scan.

Some Causing Factors of Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease

The lack of blood and oxygen

As Kidney Diseases or Kidney Failure develops, renal tissues will be in severe lack of blood and oxygen, which might arouse changes of hemodynamics and promote cysts to grow. It is reported that patients with renalarteriolosclerosis have high risk of Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease, for kidneys seriously demand of blood and oxygen in renalarteriolosclerosis.

Blocking in kidney tubules

Urine usually decreases among patients with Kidney Diseases or Kidney Failure, which weakens the ability of kidney tubules washing away calcium salt and necrotic cells and form cylindruria. Cylindruria will arise blood pressure in kidney tubules, which promote urine to deposit and cause cysts. B2 micro globulin makes microlithiasis block kidney tubules, causing renal cysts.

Dialysis

During dialysis, there might be some waste products not removed like polyamine, depositing in body and causing cysts to form in the kidneys. With carcinogenicity, dimethyl nitrosamine (DMN) and disinfectants in the water used in dialysis might stimulate cysts to grow in kidneys.

Renal function decreasing

At the End Stage Kidney Failure, few normal nephrons are left, making mesangial cells and epithelial cells proliferate to make up for the lost renal function. Decreasing glomeruli filtration rate (GFR) will promote the secretion of growth hormone and parathyroid hormone, which both boost proliferation and transformation of renal tissues. In other words, decreasing renal function plays an important role in forming cysts.

The Diagnosis of Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease

Cystic lesions are found in ultrasound examination or CT

As patients with Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease usually have no obvious symptoms, regular checkups are important for patients with Kidney Failure or on dialysis for over three years. At present, ultrasound examination or CT is enough sensitive and high-resolution that they can found cysts of 3cm. On being found, three cysts, 2cm to 3cm, have existed in kidneys at least.

Excluding Polycystic Kidney Disease

More than 90 percent cases are Polycystic Kidney Disease which is hereditary. Patients with PKD usually have family members with the same disease. However, Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease is not genetic. The patients have no similar history of cysts in their families. What’s more, PKD is associated with enlarged kidneys and cyst formation in other parts of the body. In Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease, the kidneys are normal sized or smaller and cysts do not form in other parts of the body.

The possibly of canceration

Polycystic Kidney Disease will not develop into renal carcinoma, but about 16 percent cases of Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease may deteriorate into canceration. In renipuncture, cystic cells can be distinguished from cancerous cells. Clinically, symptoms in Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease are flank pain, blood in urine and lumps in waist, but the obvious symptoms of Kidney Cancer are fever, anemia and faster ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), etc. which are also often mistaken as Uremia in diagnosis.

Treatments of Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease

Medicines in easing symptoms

If Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease is not causing pain or discomfort, no treatment is required. Infections are treated with a course of antibiotics. If large cysts are causing pain, hematuria, the cysts are treated as Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Surgeries

Unlike Polycystic Kidney Disease, cysts may cause severe bleeding and Wunderlich Syndrome which is fatal. With the possibility of cancer, surgeries will be applied to ease the bleeding. In those cases, surgery is used to stop cysts from bleeding and to remove tumors or suspected tumors. Surgeries are necessary for patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease who are infected persistently by the secondary diseases such as kidney stone and abscess.

Kidney transplantation

After a person receives a transplanted kidney, the cysts usually shrink and even disappear in the diseased kidneys. Without infection or high blood pressure, the diseased kidneys are always left in place in transplantation. However, after transplantation, antiallergic drugs like immunosuppressive agents probably make those cysts become malignant cells. The cancerous cells may spread into other organs, destroying them. So some scholars consider cutting the diseased kidneys before transplantation to avoid possible infections and canceration.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy 

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has great advantage in shrinking renal cysts over other treatments. What’s more, it can enhance immune system and offer necessary substances for self-healing mechanism to repair the damaged renal tissues. With great power of differentiation,  Without severe renal insufficiency, patients possibly need not dialysis or get rid of dialysis, which not only protect and repair renal functions but also remove one cause of Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease.
