PKD: How to Minimize the Cysts in My Kidneys

I am a PKD patient. The cysts keep growing in my kidneys. They make me feel hurt. How to minimize them? I think this is a very common question among PKD patients. In this article, let’s have a quick look.

In western countries, surgery is often used to minimize the cysts.

There are two kinds of surgeries. One kind of surgery is to use a long thin needle to insert through the skin to drain the cyst. And then an alcohol solution is filled into the cysts to prevent it recurring. The other surgery is to access the cyst through several small abdominal incisions, drain the cyst and then cut or burn away the walls of the cyst. Surgery may be helpful for you to relieve back pain and reduce blood pressure in early stage. But as long as the big ones are removed, the small one will grow up quickly. And in the advanced stage, surgery is not helpful at all.

In Chinese medicine, to minimize the cysts, you should do the following two points:

-To inhibit the proliferation of renal epithelial cells and secretion of lining cells. In such way, you can stop the growth of cysts.

-To increase the permeability of cyst wall and promote pressure difference inside and outside of the renal cells. In such a way, you can draw fluid out of renal cyst to soften them and shrink them gradually.

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we use Chinese medicine to help you achieve the above two goals. The commonly used Chinese medicine is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy is to infiltrate the micronized herbs into damaged kidneys with osmosis devices. After several days’ treatment, symptoms such as back pain, high blood pressure and so on will become relieved. After about one month’s treatment, cysts begin to shrink. To achieve a better effect, you should keep on treatment for a long period of treatment.

For PKD patients, surgery removal is not a good choice to remove the cysts in kidneys. If you want to try some conservative treatment, Chinese medicine is recommended.
