Everyday we get many emails from patients. They consult questions about their medical condition, diet, and other aspects.

How long have I got before dialysis? If you have the same medical condition, the following information may be helpful.

Generally speaking, if there is no acute factor, it will take about 5-10 years for you to have dialysis. However, if you do not follow your doctor’s advice nor live a healthy lifestyle for kidney patients, the time will be shorter to have dialysis.

For your stage now, it is still a good opportunity to seek proper treatment to help you stop further damage and protect your current condition. In China we have Chinese herbal therapies as alternative to stabilize your condition.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an external treatment developed on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine. It is infiltrate the active ingredients of shattered herbs into the damaged kidneys with the help of osmosis device. This treatment can reduce the intravascular pressure by dilating blood vessels around the cysts, improving blood circulation and increasing the permeability of cyst wall. As a result, cyst fluid can be reabsorbed by blood vessels and be taken with blood circulation. Besides, this treatment can also inhibit the proliferation of renal tubule epithelial cells and secretion of cyst fluid so as to prevent further enlargement of the cysts. What is more, these medicine can restrain kidney inflammation, block blood clotting, degrade extracellular matrix and provide necessary nutrition of repairing renal damaged cells and tissues.

Apart from the external treatment, we have oral Chinese medicine like Duo Nang Xiao to help control your medical condition. This medicine is also original creation of our kidney disease hospital China.

We can not promise your PKD can be cured, but we can promise you can live a normal life without being troubled by the kidney cysts. Best wishes to all kidney sufferers.
