The urine color says a lot about our health. Normal urine color should be colorless if we drink lots of water and yellow if drinks less. Kidney is in charge of producing urine and PKD is a genetic illness that can impair kidney function, so PKD is always accompanied with urine changes. Well, is rust-colored urine a sign of PKD?

PKD indeed causes urine changes, such as its color, its composition and its volume. Urine color changes mainly due to bleeding condition which can be caused by cyst rupture, kidney stone and kidney infection. Due to the different severity of bleeding condition, urine color varies from case to case. And generally it can be rust-colored, tea-colored, dark organ, water color where meat is washed and red.

Urine color tends to be red because there are excess red blood cells in urine. Red blood cell is the most common type of cell, which is round with a flattish, indented center, like doughnuts without a hole. Red blood cell contains hemoglobin which makes blood red, so when there are excess red blood cells in urine, urine looks red. Usually, the more red blood cells there are in urine, the redder the urine color is. In PKD, rust-colored urine is a mild blood urine to some extent.

As mentioned above, many conditions like cyst rupture, kidney stone and kidney infection can cause rust-colored urine, so it is necessary to prevent these condition, so as to reduce the risk to have excess red blood cells in urine.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a very good herbal treatment which not only helps reduce cysts in kidney, shrink large kidney cysts, repair injured kidney intrinsic cells, increase kidney function, but also helps reduce risk for kidney infection and remove kidney stones. More importantly, this herbal treatment is harmless.

In a word, rust-colored is just a urine change caused by PKD. If we want to eliminate this symptom, we need to start from treating PKD.
