Patients with PKD have the risk of getting kidney stones. Hematuria is a common symptom of kidney stones. What exactly does this happen and what is the connection between them? Here we will give you a detailed explanation.

PKD describes kidney cyst grows and enlarges gradually, causing damage of surrounding tissues and organs. When kidney is injured, kidney function begins to decline. In this case, many wastes which should be eliminated from body through urine build up in body, such as uric acid, oxalate. As these are combined with calcium, calcium crystals are formed, which is called kidney stones.

When kidney filters the blood, producing urine, kidney stones flow away with urine, at urinary tract system, stones are very hard to pass through, leading to pain in back and bleeding. Thus, blood in urine is very common for patients with kidney stones.

Moreover, due to kidney damage, red blood cells can leak out from glomerular filtration membrane, resulting in hematuria.

The key to hematuria is repairing kidney damage and dissolve kidney stones in PKD. Chinese medicine is a good option. It can prevent inflammation, promote blood circulation and degrade fibrosis, shrink kidney cyst by increasing permeability of cyst walls and preventing inner cells excreting cyst fluids. In addition, kidney stones are dissolved well with Chinese medicine. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is used widely to treat PKD, which is convenient to operate for patients and achieves great success in treating PKD and kidney stones. And patients with hematuria kidney stones in PKD should eat less acid food and calcium food. Proteinuria is also a symptom which may happen to patients with PKD.
