Hematuria means there is red blood cells in the urine. It is a common symptom of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). How come polycystic kidney make hematuria? The causes are various.

Kidney cyst rupture

When your kidney cysts grow big enough, or your abdomen is bumped, it is easy for your kidney cyst rupture. There are blood capillary in the cyst walls. Once it bursts, red blood cells come from the vessels and leak into the urine, resulting in hematuria.

If the hematuria is caused by cysts inside the kidneys, it will disappear in one week. If hematuria is caused by cysts outside the kidneys, fluid flows into your abdomen and causes peritonitis. Then you may have to take antibiotics to prevent infection.

Kidney stone

Kidney stone is a common complication of PKD. When the stone moves, it may scratch the tissues around and lead to hematuria.

In this case, you should drink plenty of water to help your body remove the stones out of the body. If the kidney stone is very big, medicines to dissolve the stones or surgery may be needed.

Infection

For PKD patients, kidney infection and urinary tract infection is not uncommon. Besides hematuria, you feel pain or burning when you urinate.

In such case, drinking plenty of water and taking antibiotics are good for your health.

Kidney function impairment

With more and more cysts appear in your kidneys and grow up, they oppress the tissues around, which will cause kidney damage over time. If your kidney function declines, it can not retain the red blood cells in the blood vessels, resulting in hematuria.

If so, you should try to shrink the cysts and improve kidney function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is such a therapy. It can inhibit the secretion of fluid and remove fluid out of the sacs to shrink cysts. It can also restrain kidney inflammation, dilate blood vessels, block blood clotting, and degrade extracellular matrix to repair the damaged kidneys and improve kidney function.
