Polycystic Kidney Disease and Cola Colored Urine

When cola colored urine appears, PKD patients will feel worried. Then, why patients with PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) present cola colored urine and how to deal with it?

The reason of cola colored urine is that there is blood in the urine. The medical name is hematuria or blood in urine. There are mainly two reasons for PKD patients who present cola colored urine.

1. The burst of kidney cysts

With the continuous growth of these cysts, they have the chance to burst. They are very likely to burst even without provocation. Then, the blood will go out of the body with urine. Then, hematuria occurs and patients will see cola colored urine when they urinating.

2. The broken of glomerular filtration membrane

Also, the continuous enlargement of the cysts will oppress the kidney units. When the kidney units can not bear the pressure, they will break. When the blood goes to the kidney filtration membrane, the red blood cells can go out of the membrane and be discharged out of body with urine.

The above two reasons can both lead to the appearance of cola colored urine. But the burst of the cysts is the most common one.

Then, how to deal with cola colored urine?

Your doctors might prescribe you some antibiotics and hemostatic agents to prevent the infection and stop the bleeding. The following measures are necessary with cola colored urine appears.

However, it can only deal with hematuria temporarily. What patients really need to do is shrink the cysts and repair the damaged filtration membrane.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy in China has long been used in shrinking the cysts and repairing the damage filtration membrane for PKD patients. It can deal with the symptoms from root. When the cysts are shrunk and the damaged kidney units are repaired, all the symptoms such as hematuria, flank pain, high blood pressure will be alleviated.

Bilateral Polycystic Kidney Disease Symptoms

Bilateral Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of hereditary diseases that multiple cysts are formed in renal cortex and renal medulla. Bilateral Polycystic Kidney Disease can be divided into Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) which patients will present symptoms when they are adults and Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD), which will show overt symptoms in infants.

Symptoms of Bilateral Polycystic Kidney Disease

In the early stage, the kidneys are in the normal size because the cysts are very tiny. At the age of 40-50, the kidneys will enlarge obviously and patients begin to suffer from a series of symptoms. The main manifestations can be enlarged kidneys, back pain, hematuria and high blood pressure etc.

1. Enlarged kidneys

Usually, the two kidneys are not in the same size because the illness progresses differently in two sides. In the late stage, the cysts can fill with the entire abdominal cavity.

2. Back pain

Patients will feel dull pain or discomforts in the abdomen. Patients can feel the pain after having physical activities, walking for a long time and sitting for a long time. Cyst bleeding, kidney stone or infections can also be a reason of pain in kidneys.

3. Hematuria

Patients can have gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria, which is caused by the cyst bleeding in most cases.

4. Hypertension (High blood pressure)

High blood pressure is the primary symptom in most cases that predates other symptoms. However, this symptom is not easy to be noticed.

5. Polycystic Liver

Half patients who are identified with Bilateral Polycystic Kidney Disease in their middle age are accompanied with Polycystic Liver. Generally, 10 years later you will find Polycystic liver after you are diagnosed with Bilateral Polycystic Kidney Disease.

The above are the common Bilateral Polycystic Kidney Disease symptoms. Most patients with Bilateral Polycystic Kidney Disease ill develop into kidney failure. Hope patients will receive treatment before it is too late.

Five Stages of PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease)

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of hereditary disease that numerous cysts are formed in the kidneys. The onset and progress of this disease also follow some rules. The stages of Polycystic Kidney Disease are as follows.

1. Emergence Stage

This disease is a kind of hereditary disease that patients are born with cysts. At this stage, the cysts are very tiny, which are not easy to be detected. Generally, patients can not find the cysts until they are over 20 years old. So, if there is a member in your family who has PKD, you should perform a check as early as possible.

2. Growth Stage

The cysts will grow very fast when patients are 30-40 years old. In the medical area, this stage is called growth stage. At this stage, patients should have intensive monitor. The western medicines can do nothing in this period and patients just take some tablets to control the symptoms. However, patients should receive active therapy at this stage. In China, the Chinese medicines are mainly adopted to shrink the cysts. If proper treatment is received at this stage, patients can control their condition effectively and prolong their life expectancy.

3. Swelling Stage

When patients enter into 40 years old, the cysts will grow further. When the cysts are over 4cm in diameter, there is high risk that the cysts will break. As the continuous growth of the cysts, a series of symptoms like backache, proteinuria, hematuria, and high blood pressure will present. At this stage, patients should combine Chinese medicine and Western medicine to cope with Polycystic Kidney Disease.

4. Rupture stage

With the continuous growth of kidney cysts, most patients will present cyst rupture even without provocation. If such condition occurs, patients should go to hospital immediately and control their infections for fear of ichorrhemia, and sharp decline of kidney function.

5. End Stage Renal Disease Stage

Most patients at this stage would have started dialysis or they have been put on a waiting list.
Hope patients could receive treatment as early as possible before it is too late. If you have other problems, please consult our online

How to Prevent PKD Leading to Renal Failure

PKD is a genetic disease which is generally born with. Patients with PKD will have obvious symptoms after the middle age that slowly deteriorates. There are a lot of cases in which PKD leads to renal failure. How to prevent PKD leading to renal failure?

1. Take prompt measures to prevent and treat complications of PKD that include cyst rupture, urinary tract infection, and high blood pressure. These complications will speed up the deterioration of kidney function. So it is important to treat these complications. But avoid the kidney-toxic drugs during treatment.

2. Early detection. Since the symptoms of PKD occur after middle age, a part of people don’t notice PKD until the complications happen. It is very dangerous and it is very hard to control the disease. People who have the family history of PKD need to regular do tests.

3. Home remedy. Keep good moods and avoid overwork. Follow the doctor’s advice. Have a light diet and eat more fruits. Control the intake of protein. It is better for your health to give up smoking and alcohol. When high blood pressure is serous and edema happens, restrict the salt intake. Properly exercise but avoid the extensive exercise.

The above is the some methods which help you prevent PKD leading to renal failure. Hope it is useful to you.

Occult Blood in Urine for Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a progressive and debilitating kidney disease. This disease is characterized by numerous cysts formed in the kidneys. The common symptoms of PKD contain:

● Occult blood in urine (Hematuria, cola-colored urine)

● High blood pressure

● Cysts in other organs

● Urinary tract infections

The major cause of PKD is hereditary factors, although it has also been linked to other factors, such as gene mutation. PKD will run in the families. PKD is a progressive disease that develops slowly in the early stage often over the course of decades. However, it can develop very fast when symptoms occurred. Most patients will advance into kidney failure if no effective treatment is received to control the growth of kidney cysts. In the following articles, I will mainly introduce the symptom of occult blood in urine for PKD patients.

Most patients do not feel their disease is a concern until they find occult blood in urine, which makes them to go for medical help. There are mainly two reasons which can lead to occult blood in urine.

1. Cysts bleeding: with the continuous growth of kidney cysts, when they are 4cm larger in diameter, there is high possibility that they are going to rupture. Most patients have cysts rupture even without provocation. When cysts break, the red blood cells from the blood vessel will go out of body with urine. Cyst bleeding is the main reason of occult blood in urine occurs.

2. The damage of kidney units: the continuous growth of kidney cysts will damage kidney units. Gradually, kidneys will lose its function and the glomerular filtration membrane and the renal tubules will be damaged. When the filtration membrane and the renal tubules are damaged, the red blood cells will filter out, while the renal tubules can not also reabsorb them. Thus, these red blood cells will go out of body with urine.

To deal with occult blood in urine, patients should not only take hemostatics, which is temporary.
To deal with the problem, a natural therapy is needed. Surgeries are not proper because so many cysts are involved, experts have found a natural therapy-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. If you need more information about it, please contact our online

Hypertension and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Hypertension is a common complication of PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) and occurs due to an increase in pressure in the blood vessels of the kidneys. This pressure is due to the continuous growth of numerous kidney cysts. The increased pressure causes damage to the vessels causing blood back up in the veins of the body.

When hypertension occurs for PKD patients, the blood vessels constrict, becoming narrow and thick. This means blood is able to flow through the blood vessels. When this happens, pressure within the vessels builds up and the heart muscle must work harder to force the blood through. When the pressure becomes too high, the heart can not keep up and less blood will be circulated through the kidneys. This will result in less oxygen and anoxia to the entire body.

There are two types of high blood pressure for PKD patients: primary and secondary. Primary hypertension is uncommon and the exact cause is unknown. A diagnosis is made when all other causes have been ruled out.

Secondary hypertension occurs far more frequently and is caused by continuous growth of kidney cysts in the body.

When hypertension occurs, it will aggravate the disease further, thus forming a vicious circle. So, PKD patients should bring your blood pressure under control. Watch your salt intake is necessary for you when high blood pressure occurs.

Besides taking antihypertensive medicines to control your high blood pressure, patients should receive a holistic treatment to control the cysts growth and repair the kidney lesions. The key to treat hypertension secondary to Polycystic Kidney Disease is to shrink the cysts. Meanwhile, the blood and nutrition supply is also necessary. Thousands of clinical cases have proved that Chinese herbs can remove the cysts in a natural way and repair the damaged kidney lesions. When the bigger cysts are reduced and the smaller ones are controlled, the hypertension secondary to PKD can be treated naturally. At this time, you do not have to rely on the pills to control the hypertension.

Polycystic Kidney Disease and Hip Pain

Approximately one in 1.000 Americans has Polycystic Kidney Disease. There are many symptoms associated with the disorder and one of them is hip pain.

PKD

There are mainly two types of PKD. One is Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease. The other is Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease. Patients experience ADPKD in adulthood while you may experience ARPKD after birth or childhood.

For PKD patients, their kidneys are filled with clusters of cysts. With the cysts enlarging, they cause various symptoms, including back pain and hip pain.

Hip pain

One common symptoms of PKD is hip pain. With hip pain you undergo soreness or mild pain in your hip.

Other symptoms

You may also experience other symptoms, such as high blood pressure (herbal remedy to lower high blood pressure caused by PKD), enlarged stomach, excessive nocturnal urination, blood in urine, back pain, flank pain, side pain. In addition, you may also undergo poor sleep and appetite, fatigue, nausea and vomiting etc.

Treatment

Acupuncture. Acupuncture (acupuncture alleviate Polycystic Kidneys) is an effective natural remedy for chronic pain, especially back pain, hip pain and headache. How does acupuncture alleviate hip pain? One holds that the needle stimulates pain-sensing nerves, which trigger the brain to release opiumlike compounds called endorphins that circulate in the body. The other holds that acupuncture works through a placebo effect, in which the patient's thinking releases endorphins.

Herbs. Herbs are used to shrink renal cysts and ease some symptoms in treating Polycystic Kidney Disease. The herbs that benefit your conditions including

dandelion root, which can help the kidneys excrete waste;

cranberry, which has antibiotic properties and helps to acidify urine;

celery, which works as a diuretic to decrease uric acid;

parsley, which works as a diuretic to decrease uric acid;

hydrangea, which cleanses the urinary tract;

Uva Ursi, which is has germicidal properties that cleanse the urinary tract.

When herbs shrink your cysts into small size, your hip pain or other symptoms will release spontaneously. Before you use any herb, you need ask your doctors or you can contact our free online service to ensure safe use of herbs.

Can Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease Be Cured

Maybe your hope to cure adult polycystic kidney disease has been denied by doctors and you have to receive dialysis for sustaining life in the future. Do not lose heart, for you can get a good curative effect from the herb therapy which has brought many people with polycystic kidney disease to a healthy life. In the following you are going to read the details about this therapy and its curative effect.

Can I know more about adult polycystic kidney disease?

Adult polycystic kidney disease means that patients who have been diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease are adult. Adult polycystic kidney disease is the most common inherited kidney disease and it also called Autosomal dominant PKD which means that there is a 50 percent chance that the disease gene will pass to a child if one parent has PKD.

Patients with adult polycystic kidney disease have a many big or small cysts in kidneys. The lining cells in cysts can divide cells and secret cyst fluid ceaselessly, resulting in the enlargement of cysts and swollen kidneys. Some people’s kidneys have been stretched as big as 20cm, which is twice bigger than the healthy kidneys. Thereby the kidney tissues have been seriously damaged.

Is there any therapy to cure kidney disease?

Most patients with adult polycystic kidney disease do not receive paracentesis which may be useful for a simply cysts but would lose its effectiveness for polycystic kidney disease. Pumping the cyst fluid by a needle is not a good idea for treatment of so many cysts in kidneys.

Micro-Chinese medicine Osmotherapy can regulate the body tissues in order to block the cysts to grow bigger. The ingredients of Chinese herbs can change the function of lining cells, so they can absorb fluid from the cysts. So the cyst would shrink gradually after using micro-Chinese medicine Osmotherapy for some time. When your cysts are small enough, your kidneys function would not be affected.

If your condition is serious and your polycystic kidney disease has been developed into renal failure or ESRD, you need Immunotherapy to provide numerous healthy cells to repair kidney tissues. Just injecting Immunotherapy to your body, you will get many immature cells which can differentiate into varied cells for kidney need. Then your kidney function would be greatly increased.

Adult polycystic kidney disease may scare you or you and your family members are worried about the deterioration of your condition. The therapies in our hospital can give you a hope and an actual good effect to you. Consult our experts online for more detailed information about the treatment.

Can Immunotherapy Be Effective to Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients

As a brand new kidney disease treatment, Immunotherapy has shown its great vitality in treating kidney disease. It has greatly improved the therapeutic effect of kidney disease treatment. As we all know, Immunotherapy have the function of self-renewing and multi-directional differentiation, and their main function during the treatment is repairing and regenerating renal intrinsic cells.
But can Immunotherapy be effective to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) which is a kind of genetic disease? I think, most PKD patients will have this question.

The answer is yes. Immunotherapy also have great effect in treating Polycystic Kidney Disease though gene problem can not be changed completely. As for patients who are suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease, there is kidney problem since they are born though this disease usually occurs when patients are at 30 to 40 years old.

Generally, we suggest Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy for Polycystic Kidney Disease patients because this treatment can control cysts enlargement and repair kidney greatly. However, this treatment can not play function on these necrosis nephrons, which is the reason why
Immunotherapy should be adopted with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Due to their powerful vitality in repairing and regenerating various kidney intrinsic cells, they can differentiate into new nephrons which can take the place of these necrosis cells. In this way, Polycystic Kidney Disease can be controlled much more effectively with no surgical operation and less reoccurrence.

Polycystic Kidney Disease: Does Hypertension Cause Cyst Rupture

More than 50 percent of Polycystic Kidney Disease cases will suffer from Hypertension before their 30 years of age. Hypertension always promotes the progression of kidney damages.
Does high blood pressure cause cyst rupture?

From clinic data, we find that patients with high blood pressure tends to cyst rupture earlier than those who’s blood pressure is lower. What’s the relationship between them?

In fact, when renal cysts grow up enough, especially, when they are larger than 3cm, they will oppress nearby kidney tissues, leading to renal ischemia. If untreated, PKD will develop into renal failure very soon.

When renal ischemia occurs, kidneys will secrete a series of hormones. One of them is known as renin. This is the initial substances that activate renin-angiotensin system to rise blood pressure.
Renin-containing cells exist in attenuated arteries in the cyst wall and in cells in the lining tissues around cysts. Besides, inside the cysts walls, there is a layer of epithelial cells which also can increase the quantity of renin. In addition, the active renin is usually present within the cyst fluid.
Renin is proven to promote epithelial cell hyperplasia.

Epithelial cell hyperplasia

Epithelia cells are the birthplace of the cyst fluids. In other words, these cells generate cyst fluids which enlarge cysts day and night. Epithelial cell hyperplasia caused by hypertension will increase the ability to enlarge cysts. This is why hypertension patients are easy to suffer from cyst rupture  than others.

Hypertension prevention

The degree of early hypertension varies with the degree of structural change, as patients with normal serum creatinine with an elevated blood pressure tend to have a higher total cyst volume than those who are normotensive.

Chinese herbs are suggested to prevent hypertension and lower high blood pressure naturally. Meantime, they can shrink renal cysts naturally, thus avoids the cyst rupture.

Hypertension is a sign to kidney damages caused by cysts. If you find your blood pressure increasing, you are suggested to take measures immediately. Otherwise, the further kidney damages may disturb your normal life forever.

Polycystic Kidney Disease, High Creatinine Level 2.96

Kidneys are like sewer, the metabolic waste, toxins and so on are eliminated through the sewer. As a metabolic macromolecule, creatinine can be eliminated with urine smoothly, so creatinine is treated as the indicator of kidney function.

However, Kidneys have compensatory ability, that is, there are only 25% kidney function can support kidneys eliminate toxins smoothly. So if we find some abnormal levels, such as high creatinine, there should be about 70% or 75% kidney functions have been damaged. Your creatinine is 2.96 which is higher than the normal range, so it is your kidney function has been damaged surely. We suggest you take ECT test so that we can know your GFR, then make sure the stage of your condition.

There is one thing need your attention. PKD seldom causes symptoms, but once there is decreasing on renal function, the GFR will decrease at the speed of 5.5, then PKD will aggravate into renal failure in about 10 years.

Will dialysis is necessary?

However, now your renal function is about 23 to 25 according to experience, that is, you have the Stage 4 CKD, it is urgent for you to take treatment. If the treatment is applied timely, you can avoid renal failure, dialysis and kidney transplant.

What the recommended treatments?

As surgery can not stop the relapse of renal cysts, other alternative treatments are suggested. Chinese herbal medicine, which was established more than 2500 years before, can take effects on the epithelial lining cells locating inside cyst membrane. These cells are the birthplace of cyst fluids, which enlarges cysts day and night.

When ingredients of herbal medicine arrive at kidney lesions, they can help shrink renal cysts and repair damaged kidney tissues naturally.

The free medical video consultation is going on at  Kidney Disease Hospital. If you are interested about Chinese herbs, Immunotherapy, you are invited and you can make an appointment in advance by our free online service.

Polycystic Kidney Disease:What Does Blood in Urine Indicate

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic kidney disease in which numerous fluids-filled sacs develops on the surface or inside the kidneys. There is a layer of epithelial lining cells inside cyst membrane which secrets cyst fluids constantly. This is why cysts keep enlarging.

When renal cysts are larger than 5cm, they may rupture at any time, leading to blood in urine. Meantime, other factors also can trigger the bloody urine.

Blood in urine

If cyst ruptures inside the kidney tissues, it won’t put you into emergency. In this condition, you do not feel pain. But you will suffer a blood in urine out of a sudden.

When cyst ruptures and fluids spread into abdominal cavity, you need to visit hospital and if necessary, you need take a surgery. Almost this condition leads patients to danger.

As Polycystic Kidney Disease develops gradually, many complications will occur gradually. Kidney stones and urinary tract infection is very common.

Kidney stones also can lead to blood in urine. When stones flow into urinary tract, they will rub and stick in it. The hard stones will cut the tissue to bleed. In this condition, you will feel burning pain.

Repeated urinary tract infection is also far common for PKD patients, which also leads to red blood cells leaking from body with the progression of the disease.

Treatment

No matter cyst rupture, kidney stone or urinary tract infection, all of them are caused by the underlying kidney cysts enlargement. Thereby, the treatment for PKD should deal with the kidney cysts.

Chinese herbal medicine is a natural remedy which can take effects on the birthplace of cyst fluids, that is, epithelial lining cells. After control the proliferation and change the structure of these cells, Chinese herbal medicine can helps shrink renal cysts and improve kidney functions naturally.

If you need more information about other symptoms of PKD, such as back pain, high blood pressure etc, you can Contact Online.

What is the Color of Urine in PKD Patients

Healthy urine is generally clear and light yellow in color. Urine color changes occur due to a variety of causes, including an underlying disease. While, what is the color of urine in PKD patients?

Usually when people are diagnosed with PKD, they are unaware something was wrong to begin with. That's because symptoms of the disease often do not appear right away, and symptoms usually develop between the ages of 30 and 40.

The underlying problem is the development of cysts, or fluid filled sacs, in the kidneys. These cysts resemble water balloons and may also form in the liver, spleen, and pancreas. Symptoms tend to begin as the cysts reach a size or number than impairs kidney function.

What is the color of urine in PKD patients? The urine may appear pink, red or brown. This is a sign of blood in urine (hematuria). At some point, almost 50% of those with ADPKD may detect this symptom. Blood may appear in the urine from a cyst that ruptures, or from local kidney damage. Those who also have kidney stones may detect blood in their urine.

Other changes in urination of people with PKD:

▪ Frequent or recurrence urinary tract infection.

Approximately 30%~50% of patients with ADPKD will have a urinary tract infection during their lifetime. This is more likely to occur in women.

▪ Excessive urination at night (nocturia)

▪ Frequent urination all day

▪ Bubbly, or foamy urine

▪ Large urine volumes (polyuria)

▪ Burning sensation during urination

The goal of treatment for PKD include controlling symptoms, shrinking the enlarged cysts, and prevent further progressing. If you or your beloved ones are diagnosed with kidney disease, we are here to help.

What To Do for Polycystic Kidney Pain

Polycystic Kidney Pain is a common complaint for most patients. Polycystic Kidney Disease has intractable disabling chronic kidney pain. Many factors may be blamed for this and some methods are expected to handle it.

Pain

For people with Polycystic Kidney Disease, they will suffer from chronic pain, as the disease progresses. The common pains include Back pain, abdomen pain, flank pain, side pain etc.

What causes these pains?

Different with other kidney disease, PKD is related to not only one factor that can lead to pain. Except the disease itself, the complication of it also can cause various pains.

- Cyst enlargement. There is a layer of epithelial lining cells which generate cyst fluids constantly, increasing the size of renal cysts. When the cysts become larger and larger, they will suppress kidney tissues and replace of it. The increased cyst liquid makes cyst membrane stretch, leading to tearing pain. Meantime, enlarged cysts can cause your back pain and flank pain.

- Kidney stone (PKD, Kidney Stone, CKD stage 4). Kidney stone is a common complication of Polycystic Kidney Disease. When kidney stones flow into urinary tract, many stones will be stuck and rub each other. If stones rubs your urinary tract, you will feel burning pain.

- Cyst rupture. As long as your renal cysts are larger than 5cm, there is a chance that your cysts can rupture at any time. If cyst ruptures inside kidneys, there is no serious pain. However, if it breaks into abdominal cavity, it will get your internal organ infected, causing extreme pain. And if necessary, your doctor will perform a surgery.

What to do with Polycystic Kidney Pain?

- shrinking renal cysts and decreasing cyst size. Chinese herbal medicine contains many ingredients which can take effects on epithelial cells to shrink renal cysts in size an in number naturally.

- cleansing away kidney stones. Some surgery can help break stones into small pieces which can be cleansed away through urination. In addition, Chinese herbal medicine is helpful to dissolve the stone and eliminate them without surgery.

- Change lifestyle to avoid cyst rupture .Use a gallus instead of tighten belts and avoid hit to abdomens.

Different people may suffer various Polycystic Kidney Pains. If you want to known more suggestions, you can CONTACT US ONLINE. We will offer an analysis for you shortly.

Herbal Medicine for PKD with Creatinine 5.78 , UA 7.5, UN 46

"I am suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease for about 25 years, kidneys are getting bigger and bigger to suppress other organs. Now creatinine is 5.78, UA 7.5, UN 46. What kind of Chinese herbal medicine can shrink my cysts?"

From your description, your disease may be in the CKD Stage 4 with less than 30% of kidney function left. In this stage, effective treatment should be conducted to prevent PKD from developing into end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Your creatinine 5.78 is much higher than the normal range (about 0.6~1.2). This means that your renal function has been severely damaged.

Your UA is 7.5, which is a little higher than the normal values range (3.5~7.2 mg/dL). If the uric acid produced by the body doesn't be removed by the kidneys, you can get sick.

Your UN is 46, which is much higher than the reference range (7~21 mg/dL). There are elevated amount of a waste product called urea in the blood. Since your kidney function is impaired, the urea will build up in the blood.

Your illness condition is already in the advanced stage, systemic treatment is necessary to recover your kidney function, not only a symptomatic medicine therapy. For your condition, we recommended integrated Chinese herbal remedy and western medicine treatment.

Western medicines are used to help relieve various discomforts like blood in urine, pain, high blood pressure and so on. Then, your sufferings will be reduced in a certain degree.

Meanwhile, herbal medicine called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is adopted to restrain the enlargement of PKD cysts and shrink them gradually. It is an external applications on the back. Chinese medicines abstracted from herbal plants are micronized into granules. With the help of modern osmosis device, the medicine will permeate into the renal lesions directly.

Under this treatment, your residual kidney function can get well protected, and damaged renal function will be improved after period of treatment. With effective treatment, you can certainly avoid a kidney dialysis or transplant.

How can I Avoid Dialysis with Stage 3 PKD and GFR 50

"Out of my sisters and brothers (we are 5), we all got Polycystic Kidney Disease. My brother is now at GFR 18 and my sister at 21 GFR. They are getting ready for dialysis soon. I don't want this to happen to us, but we have no other option. I was at GFR 50 stage 3 PKD. Can you suggest something to help our condition?"

As you said, you don't want to do dialysis as your brother and sister, but there may be no other choice in your own country. Please do not lose heart, the treatment in China can really help you all.

If your brother and sister can take effective Chinese treatment timely, they don't need to take dialysis or renal transplantation, because treatments are available to help them restore kidney function and repair the injured kidneys. For your stage 3 PKD, we can shrink the cysts and protect your kidneys from being damaged. Let me introduce this therapy for you. It is known as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. There are different descriptions, and specific formula will be used on the basis of the severity of PKD.

Chinese herbs medicines are micro-processed into tiny granules, and they are permeated into the body with the help of osmosis device. These medicines that have high effect in treating renal disease are selected by our kidney experts.

After entering into patient's body, through dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation, and preventing blood viscosity, the internal environment of the kidneys will be improved much, so the kidneys will be protected in such environment, and some of the kidney cells that are being damaged will repair them by themselves. Most importantly, the cysts will become smaller and smaller with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Positive Outlook on Polycystic Kidneys

Polycystic Kidneys is an inherited disease. Patients with faulty genes and weak immunity will from from kidney problem. With an abnormal immune network, cystic lining cells will get activated, and they present hyperplasia. At the same time, these lining cells can produce massive fluids, causing cysts to become enlarged day by day. When there is external pressure, enlarged cysts can rupture, resulting in hematuria and diffuse peritonitis.

There is no satisfactory treatment in western medicine for Polycystic Kidneys. Many patients have to wait until the cyst is big enough for surgery or pumping the liquid. However, this cannot treatment the disease from the root cause, so new cysts may grow up again when pressure is decreased after the big one is removed. Then, how to get a positive outlook for your disease?

As we all know, the decline of kidney function is mainly caused by the enlarged cysts press kidney, resulting in short supply of blood and nutrition in kidney, so functional cells in the kidney withered and fail to function normally. So, as long as we stop the enlargement of cysts, we can avoid its further aggravation.

Conservative treatments are adopted to treat Polycystic Kidneys, such as Immunotherapy, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Immunotherapy, and Blood Purification, etc.

These treatments can restrain the hyperplasia of cystsic cells and reduce the production of cystic liquid. More importantly, the therapies can regulate the immune system, improve the blood perfusion in kidney and generate new cells in kidney. Then, with less pressure from cysts, renal function can get improved over time. This is a new option for Polycystic Kidney Disease treatment.

In fact, our treatment can not only treat the kidney disease but also treat Polycystic Liver Disease and regulate the whole body. Holistic therapy in our hospital is the best treatment for kidney disease worldwide. A systematic evaluation about the physical condition is necessary to give specific treatment plan.

What causes Edema and Fatigue with PKD

Polycystic Kidney Disease causes cysts to grow in the kidneys. Autosomal dominant PKD is the most common form of the disease, with symptoms usually develop between the ages of 30 and 40. Common symptoms of PKD are high blood pressure, pain related to enlarged kidneys and blood in the urine. Edema and fatigue can also be signs of this disorder. Then what are the causes?

Edema with PKD

The kidneys are important organs to remove the water and sodium in the body. For a person with PKD, the cysts will grow in size with age, and the enlarged cysts will oppress the normal around tissues and damage the renal functions. So there will be water and sodium retention in the body.

Specific causes of edema in PKD include: the decline of glomerular filtrating function; the changes of permeability of systematic blood capillary causes the water entry the tissue space; the decrease of plasma osmotic pressure occurs due to reduced plasma albumin; the decrease of effective blood volume lead to an increase of aldosterone.

Fatigue with PKD

People who have fatigue will be tired and weak all the time. They may lack energy and may not find relief through rest. One reason for fatigue can be anemia, a shortage of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. People with advanced stage of PKD often have anemia due to damaged kidneys make less of a hormone called erythropoietin, or EPO. EPO tells the bone marrow to make new red cells. With deficient supply of RBCs, the body has less oxygen. This makes patients more tired.

Sometimes, constant unexplained fatigue or the feeling of being tired all the time can appear when the concentration of certain chemicals in the blood builds up to toxic levels due to decreased kidney function.

A Proper Diet Can Slow down the Progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder. The early prevention and treatment are very important for the patients to protect the residual renal function. Both medical treatment and diet play important roles in stopping deterioration of renal function. Therefore, the patients with PKD should keep a proper diet.

First, what they should not eat.

1. The patients with PKD should avoid eating spicy and hot foods such as hot pepper, smoking (including passive smoking), chocolates, coffee, sea-fish, shrimp, and crab and so on.

2. The patients with PKD should quit alcohol, especially white wine. Alcohol can cause intense irritation to kidneys and activate the activity of polycystin thus promoting the cyst growth.

3. Avoid eating fermented foods including soybean and other foods that can accelerate the growth of cysts.

4. Do not eat too salty foods, especially cured foods;

5. Avoid eating polluted foods, such as unhealthy diet, tainted foods, and leftovers and so on.
