Questions: I was Diagnosed with PKD in a routine checkups. I am only 20 years old, and I am worried with my disease. Can PKD be cured with treatment? What can I do if I want to get the effective treatment?

Answer: I get your description of your illness condition from our website, and I hope this article will be helpful for you. You are lucky enough to find your PKD early. As we know, PKD is a genetic kidney disease, which has the character of familial aggregation. And it has no symptoms when people are in the early stage. With the development of the illness, the kidney cysts will get enlarged, which will oppress the surrounding kidney tissues and cause kidney damage. Then PKD patients will have the symptoms of blood urine, high blood pressure, back pain, severe kidney dysfunction or even uremia.

In general, the development from PKD to kidney failure is about 10 years, and the earlier people find their PKD, the better the prognosis will be.

You are only 20 years old, and you have no symptoms in this stage, which means your kidneys are not damaged by kidney cysts. If you have effective treatment, it will slow down the progression of kidney failure or even prevent kidney failure.

Here are two common treatment of PKD, one is western treatment, and another is Chinese treatment. Here I will introduce the differences of the two treatments.

Western treatment is mainly surgery. When the kidney cyst is small, the doctor will recommend no specific treatment for PKD patients but have regular test. When the kidney cyst is larger than 4 cm, patients will need to have a surgery to puncture the big cyst and remove the fluid out from cyst. However, after the surgery, the cyst will grow again, and patients will need to do another surgery. So surgery cant prevent the continue growth of kidney cysts.

Different from western treatment, Chinese treatment will have great advantages in treating PKD. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a featured therapy, which uses traditional Chinese herbal medicines. The herbs used in this therapy has the function of shrinking the big kidney cysts and prevent the continue enlargement of cysts, which can help prevent the kidney failure caused by the enlargement of kidney cysts. Since you are only 20 years old, so you have a great chance to prevent kidney failure.

If you have immediate treatment of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, it will help you shrink the kidney cysts and suppress the increase of the kidney cysts. In this aspect, it will cause less kidney damage and you will not develop into kidney failure.
