PKD is a kidney disorder passed down from generation to generation. And it can not be cured. Many patients concern that it may threaten their life. What is the death rate in the USA for PKD?

Prevalence and incidence statistics for PKD

As a matter as fact, PKD is very common among America people. It is said that in the United States, about 600,000 people have PKD, and it is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. PKD affects both children and adults., with a prevalence of ADPKD of 1 in 1,000 persons among children and adults in the United States and a prevalence of ARPKD of 1 in 10,000 neonates and children. From 30% to 50% of neonates with ARPKD die shortly after birth due to sepsis and respiratory failure. For people with ADPKD, they can live a normal and full life with aggressive treatment.

How to treat ADPKD?

If your family members have ADPKD, you should do physical examination regularly. If you find that you suffer from ADPKD, what you should do is to treat it aggressively. And the earlier you receive treatment, the better prognosis. The conventional treatment for ADPKD is to control its symptoms and surgery to remove cysts, but they can not control the state of illness effectively.

In China, we often use Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to treat PKD. The active ingredients can inhibit the formation of fluid and increase permeability of cyst walls as well as the pressure between cyst walls so that fluid can be eliminated from the cysts. It can help shrink cysts and improve the remaining kidney function.

PKD is not as terrible as you can imagine. Since you have PKD, you should keep a positive attitude to face it. If you need any help, please contact online doctors or leave a message. We are very happy to help you.
