What is PKD?

You said you are dating with the girl who has PKD, so I think you should firstly know PKD is a genetic kidney problem, which means you may have PKD children if you marry the girl. So far PKD can not be cured because PKD gene can not be successfully removed from kidney according to current medical technology. This illness can cause countless cysts in kidney and with time goes by, these kidney cysts become larger and larger, which can damage kidney and impair kidney function. For this reason, PKD patients run high risk for kidney failure.

How to help people with PKD?

PKD can not be cured, but it does not mean there is no effective treatment for it. In PKD, kidney tissues are damaged by enlarged kidney cysts, so if the cysts can be kept in small size, further kidney damages can be avoided and also kidney failure can not avoided successfully.

In many countries, PKD is treated by treating its symptoms like high blood pressure and proteinuria. This helps to slow down illness progression, but can not stop PKD. In our hospital, we treat PKD by treating its symptoms, repairing kidney tissues and shrinking kidney cysts. In this way, not only further kidney damages can be prevented, impaired kidney function can be increased. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the most commonly used treatment for PKD. It is a herb-based treatment and to avoid bad effects, these herbs are used externally.
