Does kidney cyst require treatment? This affects by many factors. You should consider the side of kidney cyst and effect of kidney cyst on your kidneys and your whole body.

If kidney cyst is smaller than 5 cm and there is no oppression on renal parenchyma and pelvis, and no infection and high blood pressure, surgery is not recommended. You just need to take B-ultrasound regularly.

As for the treatment of kidney cyst, generally it is surgery in western medicine but surgery only alleviate patients’ pain temporarily and remove larger kidney cyst. Once larger kidney cyst is removed, it will give more growth space for small cysts and cause vicious circle. Western medicine only cures the symptoms but not the disease. Therefore, we suggest kidney cyst patients to take Chinese medicine and western medicine combination therapy. This therapy not only shrinks kidney cyst but also repairs damaged kidneys. What’s more, combination of Chinese medicine and western medicine treat kidney cyst radically and eliminate relapse of the disease.

In addition, kidney cyst also needs to follow a proper diet.

1. Control protein intake

The modern medical science thinks that too much or too little protein intake both has no benefits to kidneys. When you take a large amount of protein, many metabolic products will be produced like urea, creatinine, guanidien and polyamine as well as some middle molecular substances which are all nitrogen’s metabolic products. Protein limitation and low protein intake in kidney failure help reduce burden on kidneys and reduce toxic production. This plays an important role in alleviating your medical conditions.

2. Consume plenty of calories

Calories from diet affects the protein synthesis. Therefore, plenty of calories intake per day is the premise of long-term adherence to the low protein diet.

3. Salt intake

Salt intake should be adjusted according to patients’ condition and kidney function. Not all kidney dysfunction patients need to limit salt intake strictly.

4. Water intake

In simple kidney cyst, since kidney’s concentrating function declines, metabolic products in the body needs more fluid to be discharged. Therefore, if simple kidney cyst patients have no obvious edema, heart failure or high blood pressure, there is no need to restrict fluid too strictly.
