GFR is short for Glomerular Filtration Rate. It indicates how well your kidneys are functioning. But once you are diagnosed with PKD, your GFR will gradually decline. Here are several ways to improve kidney GFR for PKD patients.

PKD means there are a lot of cysts in the kidneys. The kidney cysts keep growing, oppressing the tissues around and damage kidney structure. So you should restrain cysts from enlarging first. But so far almost treatment for PKD patients is to control its symptoms, such as high blood pressure and hematuria.

In our hospital, we often use Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to treat PKD patients. It is to put two herbal bags on the back area. With the help of osmosis device, the active ingredient can be penetrated into the damaged kidneys. According to your medical condition, different medicines are used. To shrink kidneys, there are medicines to inhibit the lining cells from secreting fluids, medicines to increase pressure between cyst walls and medicines to promote permeability of cyst walls. In this way, cyst fluid can flow out of sacs into the blood and then be passed out of the body in the urine. Long term use of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can make your cysts shrink.

In addition, some medicine are used to dilate blood vessels which can improve ischemia and anoxia in the kidneys. If there are enough blood flowing through kidneys, your GFR will improve. Medicines of anti-coagulation, anti-inflammation and degrading extracellular matrix are often used to help kidney self-healing. Once your glomerular filtration membrane is repaired, your GFR will improve as well.
