Without treatment, kidney cysts will become bigger and bigger with time going on. With the enlargement of kidney cysts, kidney function becomes poorer and poorer. Consequently, various symptoms will occur. Well then, is there anything I can do to prevent kidney cyst from growing?

1. One way is to take Chinese herbal medicines.

Kidneys help remove excess fluid from the body. When kidney cysts disrupt this function, fluid builds up in the body, leading to high blood pressure and swelling. Sodium is an essential mineral that helps maintain fluid balance by retaining fluid. When kidney cysts cause symptoms of kidney failure, a low sodium diet is necessary.

Protein
