Best Treatment And Food For PKD

PKD is a common hereditary renal disorder which often affect bilateral kidneys. Often both kidneys are full of clusters of renal cysts which will squeeze normal renal tissues and surrounding organs. Renal structures will be altered and renal functions will be gradually lost.

Different from simple kidney cyst, PKD patients have countless cysts in both kidneys with various sizes, therefore surgery removal may not be the best treatment because some small cysts and those that are deep in renal tissues is not easy to be removed and surgery can not cure the disease from the root. The removal of large renal cysts often provide more chance for the smaller ones to experience rapid growth and the surgery has certain risk and it will definitely cause injuries and harms to the kidneys.

The best treatment at present for PKD is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It is an innovation of traditional Chinese medicines and it has been proved to be effective to have overall shrinking effects on all the renal cysts in the kidneys. Usually after about one week treatment, patients can have obvious improvements. With one month treatment, the cyst wall will be softened, the permeability will be increased and the cyst fluid begin to be re-absorbed into surrounding blood vessels. Since Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can eliminate blood clots and promote blood circulation, the cyst fluids will be discharged out of the body with blood circulation.

The re-filling of the cysts and formation of new cysts are also prevented because active ingredients in the medicines can kill the epithelial cells on the cyst wall which is the source of cyst fluid.

Though there are some diet restrictions for PKD patients for slowing down illness progression an delaying the need for dialysis and kidney transplant, there are many other beneficial foods for PKD patients.

Flaxseed oil is one good choice for PKD. It can significantly relieve the symptoms, lower high blood pressure and high blood lipid, prevent renal inflammation and infections so as to ease symptoms and delay illness progression. Other foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids are also good for PKD.
