Back Pain for PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease)

Many PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) patients are enduring serious back pain especially in their low back. And they complain that they can not move swiftly and the back pain keeps them awake at night.
 

The pain is usually dull pain

The back pain is usually dull pain, which can be pain in either one side of the kidney or both sides. The back, upside, inner part of the thighs can also be influenced.

What are the reasons of back pain?

As we all know there are numerous cysts in both kidneys of PKD patients. The continuous growth of kidney cysts will lead to the enlargement of the kidneys. As a result, the tensile force in the kidney capsule will rise, stretching the renal pedicle, and the adjacent organs will be stretched. That is why the pain occurs.

What will aggravate the back pain?

If the cysts are bleeding or get infection, the pain will become severer. In addition, if the patient also experiences kidney stones or urinary tract blocked by blood clot, the pain may become sharp colic.

Suggestion

Avoid fierce physical activities and trauma in abdomen.

Replace belt with gallus for fear of the rupture of cysts.

Here, I strongly suggest patients should receive treatment to control the growth of the cysts. Only the cysts are controlled can the back pain disappear in turn.
