Question: Hello, doctor. I am diagnosed with PKD. The size of my right kidney is 167x94 mm, and the left kidney is 164x84 mm. Is it dangerous? How can I shrink them?

Answer: PKD means there are many cysts inside and outside the kidneys. The normal kidney size is about 9 to 13 cm long and about 5 to 7.5 cm wide. Right kidney 167x94 mm and left kidney 164x84 mm are a little bigger than the normal kidney size. But it can not threaten your life. If you can keep them from enlarging, you can live a normal and full life.

Without appropriate treatment, these cysts will become big and big and the size of your kidneys become so big that they occupy your abdomen and affect other organs. And then you may have to remove them from your body.

With medical treatment, they can just manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. But they can do nothing to keep your kidneys from enlarging. At last, you may have to suffer from dialysis or kidney transplant.

After years of research, we find that some Chinese medicine can help shrink these cysts and prevent them from growing. Cyst wall results from the proliferation of renal tubule epithelial cells and cyst fluid results from original urine and secretion of lining cells. According to these two points, we use herbs to restrain the proliferation and secretion. Some other herbs are used to speed up the blood circulation and increase the permeability of cyst wall so that fluid in cyst can flow into the blood and be discharged out of the body with blood circulation.
