Treatment for PKD with Stage 3 Kidney Disease

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a progressive kidney disorder with gradual loss of renal function.What is the treatment for PKD with stage 3 kidney disease?

PKD with stage 3 kidney disease

A person with stage 3 kidney disease has kidney damage in moderation with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 30-59ml/min.

Nephrons are the basic functional units in kidneys.Every kidney is composed of around one million nephrons.In PKD,as the cysts enlarge,they will replace more and more nephrons,resulting in renal function decline.Less blood is filtered by kidneys so GFR will decrease. In stage 3 kidney disease, a host of early signs of kidney problem will appear like high early bone disease, anemia, edema, and so on.

Treatment for PKD with stage 3 kidney disease

Stage 3 kidney disease is a critical phase for seeking a treatment.Once it develops into stage 4,renal function will deteriorate very rapidly.To treat PKD with stage 3 kidney disease, the patients should have a treatment to control PKD and reverse kidney damage.

Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy and Stem Cell Therapy are recommended to treat the disease.These two treatments perform different roles in treating PKD with stage 3 kidney disease.

Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy can kill the epithelial cells on cyst wall and stop the secretion of cystic fluid.Hence, the cysts will stop growing.In addition,by improving the permeability of cyst wall,the cystic fluid will be eliminated from the cysts through systemic circulation in body. So the cysts will be shrunk effectively.

Stem cell therapy aims at restoring the impaired kidney structure and enhancing renal function.Stem cells can differentiate into new cells to replace the impaired and necrotic renal functional cells. In this way, the impaired kidney tissues will be repaired so renal function will be enhanced remarkably.
