How To Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease In Stage 3



For the PKD patients, many cysts on the kidneys can give huge burden to the kidneys and severely influence kidney function. If you are in stage 3-4 of PKD, your creatinien level must higher than normal, which is the sign of kidney function damaging. Chinese herbal medicine can dilate blood vessels, restrain the hyperplasia of cystic cells, and increase the permeability of cystic cells. With the increasing of permeability of cystic cells he liquid in the cyst can discharge with the blood. By taking this treatment, cysts can stop enlargement and begin to shrink gradually, which can effectively reduce cysts’ pressure on kidneys.
For the existing cysts, we cannot let them stay here, so we will use medicine to increase the permeability of the cyst walls and the microcirculation. The cyst liquid will be reabsorbed and discharged out through the urine. If the size of the cysts are reduced, the pressure on the around renal tissues will be lower, and the renal function will be better.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a conservative therapy without pumping fluid or relieving pressure. It is a kind of external application on the back. The Chinese medicine are micronized into one thousandths of its original size. With the action of the microwave, the medicine will permeate into the renal lesions directly through the skin and channels. We use Micro-Chinese Medicine to expand blood vessels, speed up blood circulation on cysts walls, and improve the permeability of the cysts thus making the cysts shrink and decrease. It will restrain the proliferation of the epithelial cells, so the secretion of cyst liquid will be reduced. When the internal pressure of the cyst declined, the size of the cyst will gradually become smaller, thus relieving the compression of the tissues around, improving microcirculation, and blocking the progressing of renal fibrosis. Besides, the cysts are not easy to recur after disappearance, and the symptoms will thoroughly disappear. The kidney function will also be better.

Creatinine Level 3.2 And Have PKD 10 Years


I have bee diagnosed with PKD about 10 years now. My treatment was mainly to treat my blood pressure, and to have a low sodium low protein diet.
Recently my blood pressure when really high and some test was done, this is how I know my creatinine is 3.2. However I am being treated for my hight blood pressure and I have to be tested once per month to see if the creatinine level will go down.
My doctor said if this does not happen I will have to consider dialysis or maybe a transplant. I have heard that the cyst can be reduce but was told that it can be painful and it does not make sense because the cyst can grow back.
However I was wondering if there are any alternative treatment this is why I was researching your sight. I do not know the size of the cysts but from a renal ultrasound done in 2005, it indicated that - and I quote-" simple cortical systs of varying sizes on both kidneys ranging in size from 1cm to 3cm. It also stated that both kidneys are enlarged, the right measuring 14.5 cm long X 7.2 cm AP and left kidneys measuring 14.2 com long X 6.4cm AP. Two curvi-linear foci of clacification are noted in the left lower ple measuring 1.0cm and 0.9cm long.
These may represent dystrophic parenchymal calcification byt can also be non-obstructing lower pole renal calculi.
Now your creatinine level 3.2 reflects your more than 50% kidney tissues have been damaged. And now you only have 30% kidney function left, this means the cysts' growth have caused the damage to your surrounding renal tissues. So timely treatment to repair your damaged renal tissues and protect your remaining kidney function is suggested for you.
At present, in most western countries, the PKD's end results are the endless dialysis or kidney transplant. However, in China, we use the conservative treatment to shrink the cysts and improve the kidney function. We apply mainly the Immunotherapy and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Besides, we also apply the traditional Chinese medical sciences, like the medicated bath, massage, acupuncture and moxibustion, pedicure, scraping therapy, Taichi etc. These are a systemic treatment to treat your disease from all aspects.
Though PKD is an inherited disease, no one can change the gene, but we can help PKD patients live a normal ife, they can attend the social party, doing their jobs, give birth to babies, live a normal life without dialysis or transplant. We can achieve this.
Here I attach the introduction of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Please find the attachment. Believe this will give you more confidence to avoid the dialysis or transplant.

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.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy For PKD With Gfr 80


As you said your GFR is 80ml/min at present, so I think the Chinese medicine must have a very good effect on your kidney, and your renal cysts have be controlled well. But it is a long time for taking the medicine and your renal function has not improved that much, so I think the alternative treatment I mentioned will have a better effect for your case.
You know when our kidney is damaged; the blood flow volume in kidneys will reduce, so our hospital will use Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to increase the blood flow volume in kidneys. You may have a certain understanding of Chinese medicine (Chinese herbs) as you are using the medicine at present. Here only a simple affix "Micro-" is added before it, but it means a lot improvement in treating kidney disease. Traditional Chinese herbs are oral medicine. Firstly, they burden the kidneys, because the kidney is the organ responsible for filtrating fluid. Secondly, most of Chinese herbs decoction have bitter taste. Many patients cannot bear them. Lastly, the rate of sorption by kidneys is very low, for it arrives at renal lesions through many tracts, such as digestive tract and gastrointestinal tract, which is why your GFR has not improved that much even you have taking so long time Chinese medicine.
However, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is different from traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Here, Chinese herbs are superfinely shattered into powder and packaged in a sack. When used for you, the sack should be soaked in the special penetrant for around two hours and then be heated for one hour or so. After all is ready, you just need to lie in a bed with two sacks attached to renal regions. What’s more, the sacks are connected with an osmosis device, the mechanism of which is to promote permeation of medicine by vibration indirectly controlled by electron pulse. In this way, the ingredients of Chinese medicine can efficiently permeate into the renal lesions, realizing the goal of treating kidney disease effectively. You would feel massaged during the treatment, very comfortable. And I mentioned earlier, for your case, this treatment will be given 2-3times every day and 45mins each time. Specifically speaking, Micro-Chinese Medicine can increase the permeability of cyst wall, make more cystic liquid filtered out and stop the lining cells from secreting cyst liquid and at the same time in order to be alive the lining cells will absorb the cyst liquid which both factors will make they cysts shrunk. But continued Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, there is no cyst liquid at all the lining cells will be under controlled as there is no cyst liquid for them to be lively, and then the renal cysts will not be bigger again once they are shrunk. And Micro-Chinese Medicine can dilate blood vessels and decrease blood coagulation, thus improving blood circulation of kidneys. In addition, it can also decrease inflammatory reaction and degrade extracellular matrixes (ECM) both of which contribute to fibrosis of renal functional cells. In this way, Micro-Chinese Medicine can effectively prevent your kidneys from fibrosis and thereby stop kidney disease from progressing and have the renal function improved by repairing the damaged renal cells.

Kidney Cyst Control By Chinese Medicine Treatment


Kidney cysts are round pouches of fluid that form in the kidneys. Kidney cysts can be associated with serious disorders that may impair kidney function. But more commonly, kidney cysts are a type called simple kidney cysts — noncancerous cysts that rarely cause complications.
Simple kidney cysts are very common, especially in people over age 50. The Mayo Clinic says that up to 50 percent of people in that age range have at least one cyst. These kidney cysts are almost always benign and harmless. They only require treatment if they get large enough to interfere with other organs. If this happens, treatment consists of surgical removal of the cyst.
Treatment is usually not necessary if imaging tests depict a simple cyst and the patient exhibits no symptoms. Instead of treatment, the doctor will advise a computed tomography scan or ultrasound to periodically examine if the kidney cyst enlarges or develops into a complex cyst, according to the Kidney Cancer Institute. Treatment may be suggested at a later date if the kidney enlarges or if symptoms occur.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a natural herbal therapy applied externally on acupoint of lower back (kidney area). Herbal bags containing dozens of herbal medicines are soaked previously in penetrants, and then placed on the lower back part. With the help of osmosis device, effective ingredients of herbal medicines will infiltrate into kidneys through the main and channels. There is no pain, and it is kind of like a massage.
The main curative effect of this herbal therapy is to promote whole body blood circulation, and especially the blood circulation within the kidneys. If analyzed from cytology, when kidney function decline occurs, there are three types of cells in the kidneys. There are healthy cells that are overburdened: damaged but still reversible cells: and completely necrotic cells that have no function left. The necrosis is an absolute loss, but this herbal therapy helps removing blood stasis or thrombus, degrading extracellular matrixes, and dilating each level blood vessel to promote blood flowing into the kidneys. In this way, sufficient blood supply creates a great environment for the self-repairing of these damaged but still reversible cells, and prevents kidney function from further declining.

All Western Medicine just treat the symptoms of kidney, they can't treat the disease from the root as the cysts will come out anytime after they have the surgery. That is why most patients do not want to have that puncture. What’s more, they will put the patients on dialysis or suggest them for kidney transplant when their kidneys fail.
Not sure whether you have ever heard of Chinese medicine for treating PKD? Not the same as western medicine , in China, Micro-Chinese Medicine are used to treat renal cysts which can reduce the size of renal cysts, enhance the renal function, delay the growth of renal cysts. It is not surgery or oral taking medicine, it used as an Osmotherapy. And the medicine is abstracted from the Chinese herbs, without any side-effect for the human body. And the cysts will start to become smaller in 4-5 days after receiving the treatment, and the cysts wall will become softer and softer at that time. And the medicine course depends on our cooperation which needs you to control your diet and pay more attention on your daily life except for the medicine.

Life Span For Patients With Polycystic Kidney Disease



There is a genetic kidney disease which is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), which usually manifests a familial feature for this disease. That is to say, several family members would be haunted by PKD. In the clinical cases, the majority of patients present obvious symptoms over 35 years or older. Back pain, elevated blood pressure, hematuria as well as fatigue would be the prevalent discomforts. USG examination can tell the cysts have enlarged a lot and pressed renal parenchyma when patients have apparent discomforts. Nearly 70% patients with PKD will develop into End Stage Renal Failure over time. So it is quite necessary to find a proper treatment to control the enlargement of cysts and block the aggravation of renal function.
Actually, lifespan for PKD patients would be quite hard to predict. Because it not only decided by cyst size, but also related with patients’ general condition. As well know, PKD patients would complicate with polycystic liver, polycystic pancreas as well as aneurysma etc. Upper respiratory tract diseases, like cold, cough and asthema, might exacerbate the inflammatory reaction in the body. These inflammatory factors can decrease your immunity and your renal function will get damaged as well. Liver, pancreas are very important organs which can secrete bile and insulin respectively. Once these parts get invaded by cysts, their original function would be disrupted and internal systems will face a disorder. In that case, patients can not expect an longer lifespan.
Traditional treatments for cysts are cyst decortications and tapping, These treatments are surgeries, which remove the fluids with a minimally invasive injury. We have to acknowledge these treatments are effective to remove big cysts in a short time. Whereas, they can do nothing to settle small cysts. Over time, small cysts will enlarge rapidly because they have get less pressure caused by big cysts. In this case, patients have to endure many times operation. As we know these operations are invasive, they are probably to injure renal parenchyma. Herewith, invasive surgery may not benefit patients but exacerbate their condition.
Lifespan for Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease should be the most concerning issue, worry and depression can be understandable. However, worry and depression have no any help to control the development. On the contrary, these gloomy mental status can exacerbate the illness condition. Patients should learn more about the pathological reason of cysts, meanwhile, they should realize the treatment mechanism of different methods. Also, patients need to pay attention to some tips in their daily life, avoid conflicting exercises, say play box, play basketball as well as other sports,, because these strenuous activities can make cysts rupture.

Can Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease Drink Wine


Can Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease Drink Wine
In many countries, wine is a kind of necessary in people’s daily life, such as in Russia, The Czech Republic and Rumania, people would like to drink wine no matter they are happy or not. However, can they drink wine if they have Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?
Some experts have proved that patients with PKD are strongly suggested to cut out wine. This is mainly for protecting their kidneys as well as their general health. Wine can stimulate the liveness of protein in the cysts, and speed up the secretion of sac liquid as well as the growth of the cysts, thus damaging the renal function quickly.
In addition, the recovery of PKD needs a fine environment in the body. Frequently drinking will arise many problems in the body:
● Increase the blood pressure
● Reduce the bound water in the cells
● Rise the level of creatinine
● Lead to metabolic acidosis symbolized by vomiting, nausea, poor appetite, blue spirit and headache and so on.
● Anemia and disorder of the functions of soterocyte which can lead to bleeding.
● Poor gastrointestinal absorption ability which is the reason of depressed absorption rate of Vitamin B1 and B2 as well as increased excretion of Vitamin B6.
Apart from the general damage in the body, too much wine is able to change the balance of the elements in the kidneys such as the nitrogen and the protein. These changes make no difference in a normal people, but it will be a big mountain to the patients with PKD or Renal Failure. That’s why the doctors strongly against the opinion that patients with PKD can drink wine as their willing.
