Right treatment method for Polycystic Kidney Disease helps to delay dialysis and even prevent kidney failure. However, in many cases, patients just take some oral medicines to control symptoms like high blood pressure and proteinuria. This is helpful, not effective enough to stop illness progression. The followings are the treatment recommendations for Polycystic Kidney Disease and if PKD patients can deal with their illness in the following ways, they can avoid kidney dialysis successfully.

1. Tight control of all the symptoms

Tight control of symptoms like high blood pressure and proteinuria can not cure PKD, but it helps to protect residual kidney function and slow down illness progression.

2. Shrinking of kidney cyst

Actually, small kidney cysts are harmless on kidney, and even if they damage kidney, kidney damages are mild. In Polycystic Kidney Disease, kidney tissues are severely damaged by large kidney cysts, so by shrinking kidney cysts and keeping them in small size in early stage, most of the kidney function will be preserved. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a good treatment method to shrink cysts in kidney. It is recommended not only because it causes no side effects, but also because it treats all the cysts at one time.

3. Repairing of injured kidney intrinsic cells

Kidney intrinsic cells just as cells in hand have self-repairing ability. When they are injured mildly, they can get recovery successfully. However, if they are injured severely, medicines will be needed to help them recover. Under such a condition, if no medicine is given, they will become necrotic and then form scar. For people with Polycystic Kidney Disease, there are healthy, injured and necrotic kidney tissues. Necrotic kidney cells are dead cells and they can not be brought back to life again. But for injured kidney cells, they can be repaired with some medicines. By repairing injured kidney cells, kidney function can be improved greatly.

4. Kidney-friendly diet

A kidney-friendly diet is also an important part of a systematic treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease. What foods to eat and not to eat is based on kidney condition. Here you can consult our online doctor for individual diet advice.
