Question: If I have been diagnosed with PKD but kidney function is still good, what is the road ahead?

Answer: PKD is a genetic kidney problem which is marked by increasing cysts in kidney. For people with PKD gene, they usually feel no difference from others in the very initial stage and they can live well without being affected by any of the terrible symptoms of PKD like blood urine and lower back pain. However, with the deterioration of kidney condition, more and more discomforts and clinical manifestations begin to appear. Under such a case, timely treatment to protect residual kidney function is very important. Otherwise, dialysis or kidney transplant will be finally required.

PKD is a chronic kidney problem and affect patients’ life by impairing kidney function, so for people who have PKD gene and still have good kidney function, they can live as well as healthy people if they can stop kidney cyst from affecting their kidney. That is to say, a right treatment is very important for their rest of life. Well, what is the right treatment for PKD patients?

As PKD causes no discomforts in early stage, so many people choose to ignore it. With the progression of illness, symptoms like proteinuria, high blood pressure and lower back pain appear, and at that time, patients will be prescribed with hypotensive drugs, pain-killer and other medications to get these problems under control. Also, when one kidney cyst becomes especially large, surgery is suggested to remove it.This is the most commonly used treatment in cases of PKD. It is helpful, but actually it can not solve problem at all. PKD affects kidney by suppressing surrounding kidney tissues. Therefore, if we want to prevent further kidney damages and stop illness progression, treatment that can shrink all the kidney cysts at one time is very important. Surgery helps to remove big kidney cyst, but after that, small kidney cysts become very large in short time. Kidney cyst enlarges with the increase of fluid inside the cyst, so only by reducing fluid inside the cyst, can kidney cyst be shrink effectively.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a good treatment option for PKD patients who still have good kidney function. This herbal treatment causes no side effects during the whole treatment process and with it, cysts in kidney become smaller when fluid inside them are reduced successfully, which is a guarantee for PKD patients to protect residual kidney function.
