PKD with High Blood Pressure And GFR 41

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder.It is a progressive disorder and a host of signs will appear as renal function declines.A treatment for PKD with high blood pressure and GFR 41 will be recommended in the following content.

High blood pressure and GFR 41 in PKD

PKD is featured with a number of numerous cysts in kidneys. With age,the cysts will increase in both size and number.As a result,the enlarged cysts will cause pressure against kidneys and replace more and more healthy nephrons.As a result,the kidneys will not be able to get enough blood supply.

When renal ischemia and anoxia occurs, the kidneys will produce more renin,a hormone which can contract blood vessels.Thereby, high blood pressure will occur.

GFR measures how much blood is filtered by glomeruli in nephrons.When the nephrons are impaired or reduce in number, less blood will be filtered by kidneys,thus resulting in low GFR. The normal result of GFR ranges between 90~125ml/min.So GFR 41 is associated with very serious kidney damage in PKD.

Treatment for PKD with high blood pressure and GFR 41

Generally,some medications are prescribed to the patients to lower high blood pressure. However, medications alone are not enough.

As high blood pressure in PKD results from inadequate blood supply to kidneys,increasing blood supply to kidneys is an important treatment part.To elevate GFR 41,one step is to increase blood supply to kidneys and another treatment goal is to restore the impaired nephrons in kidneys.

Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy is recommended to PKD patients with high blood pressure and GFR 41.It is a plant-based therapy developing from traditional Chinese herbal medicine. This therapy can activate the self-healing system in body to regenerate the impaired nephrons,thus improving renal function remarkably.
