Does cysts on kidney affect GFR? Many people with kidney cysts may concern about this question. In the following, we will have a discuss about this topic.

Kidney cysts may make GFR decrease.

Simple kidney cysts are common among old people. Under normal circumstance, there is no need to worry about them, because they can not cause symptoms, nor can they affect your GFR. But sometimes the cysts can enlarge and affect GFR. So what you should do is to do examination regularly. Once there is something wrong with them, you can take measures as early as possible.

If you have polycystic kidney disease, cysts on kidneys keep growing and they oppress the tissues around, as a result, they damage your kidneys and affect your kidney function. When your kidney function declines, GFR will also decrease.

How to improve GFR for kidney cyst patients?

If your GFR is affected by these cysts, the following measures may be helpful.

-Low GFR caused by simple kidney cysts

Simple kidney cysts can be drained by surgery quickly. The common surgeries are sclerotherapy and laparoscopic cyst decortication. When these cysts are removed, they can stop damaging to your kidneys.

-Low GFR caused by polycystic kidney disease

Because there are so many cysts on kidneys, surgery can not remove all of them. Here we recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It can not only shrink all the cysts, but also help improve kidney function so as to improve GFR. This treatment can restrain the proliferation of renal tubule epithelial cells, stop the secretion of lining cells, speed up blood circulation and increase permeability of cyst wall. In this way, cysts become small. This treatment can also inhibit kidney inflammation, block blood clotting, dilate blood vessels, degrade extracellular matrix, etc. In this way, your damaged kidneys can gradually regain their ability.
