As for most polycystic kidney disease (PKD) patients, blood in urine is its clinical common symptom. About half of patients will experience hematuria. The color of urine presents pink, bright red or brownish red. Once PKD patients have blood in urine, patients are more likely to cause abdominal infection. As a result, people will experience fever, swelling in the whole body and severely declined kidney function, etc.

How does hematuria occur?

The reason of hematuria is because kidneys are in a state of high pressure due to high blood pressure. This easily causes the small vascular burst, causing blood in urine. With time going on, cysts will oppress kidney tissues and blood vessels in kidneys, thus causing microcirculation blockage of kidney tissues. At this condition, kidneys are in a state of renal ischemia and renal hypoxia. This leads to the injury of kidney blood capillary endothelial cell. As a result, hematuria occurs. In addition, urinary tract infection and kidney stone can also lead to blood in urine.

What is the treatment for blood in urine?

1. Control infection

Once PKD patients have blood in urine, they are more likely to experience kidney infection, which will worsen blood in urine.

2. Promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis and speed up blood circulation

Enlarged kidney cysts will oppress renal parenchyma, and this will lead to glomerular in a state of hypoxic-ischemic. Therefore, it is important to expand blood vessels, promote blood circulation on cyst wall and increase the permeability of cystic wall. In this way, blood perfusion in kidney will be increased and cystic fluid will be reabsorbed so as to control the enlargement of kidney cysts.

Western medicines for hematuria is easy to relapse while Chinese medicine can avoid this condition. The active ingredients in Chinese medicine can improve renal ischemia and hypoxia state and gradually shrink kidney cyst. Eventually blood in urine will be alleviated and relapse can be avoided. Of course, the treatment plan is on the basis of specific medical condition. Since PKD is a family history disease, early treatment is very important.
