ESRD in PKD

PKD is featured with numerous cysts on kidneys.With age,the cysts will increase progressively in both size and number.Afterwards,the enlarged cysts will cause pressure against the nephrons.If the nephrons can not get adequate oxygen supply,they will become scarred and necrotic.In addition, the large cysts will replace more and more nephrons, thus resulting in decline of healthy nephrons.When the majority of the nephrons become necrotic,ESRD will be the result.As a result, high levels of waste products will build up in body and a host of complications and discomforts will result.

Treatment for ESRD in PKD

To treat ESRD in PKD effectively,Blood Purification and Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy will be applied.Blood purification is not a specific treatment.Based on the type of waste products in blood,different types of blood purification methods will be prescribed.It can remove the waste products and toxins from body,thus reducing creatinine and BUN levels effectively.Also,it can create a favorable internal environment for repairing the kidney structure.

As for Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy,it can improve renal function by restoring the impaired nephrons.The osmotherapy is an externally applied therapy in which a variety of Chinese herbs are used.The effective medicine ingredients can stimulate the self-healing system of the body. When the kidney tissues and cells can be repaired,the kidneys will function better.More waste products will be eliminated from body by kidneys and the associated complications will be relieved remarkably. If so, no replacement treatment will be required.
