What Can I Do for Normal Life with PKD

Polycystic Kidney Disease (also known as PKD) is a genetic disease in which numerous cysts grow in the kidneys. Without good control of PKD, your life will be affected a lot. What can I do for normal life with PKD?

The main problem for PKD patients is those growing cysts. In most countries, the unique treatment for PKD is just to do physical examination regularly to see how is the PKD evolution. As long as you have any symptoms, your doctor prescribe medicines to control it. For example, when you have high blood pressure, ACEI or ARBs are used. Though those medicines can help you relieve body malaise, they can not stop the growth of cysts. At the end, kidney failure occurs and then you have to do dialysis or kidney transplant to maintain your life.

If you want to lead a normal life with PKD, you should stop the growth of cysts. After years of research and clinical practice, we develop Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Interventional treatment.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy for PKD

It is to infiltrate the micronized herbs into the polycystic kidneys with the help of osmosis devices. When the active ingredients of herbs reach the nidus, they can inhibit the abnormal proliferation of renal tubule epithelial cells and block the secretion of lining cells so as to stop the growth of cysts. They can also increase the permeability of cyst wall and speed up blood circulation so that cyst fluid can be taken away from the sacs. As a result, cysts become small.

Interventional treatment for PKD

Interventional treatment is a breakthrough in treating PKD. Compared with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, it is a little invasive, but it takes effect quickly. It is to use some devices to drain the cyst fluid and then inject alcohol to prevent additional cysts from forming. However, Interventional treatment can only be used when your cysts are bigger than 2-3 cm.
