How to prevent cyst rupture in PKD?

PKD stands for Polycystic Kidney Disease which is the illness that can cause cyst formation in kidney. Cysts in PKD enlarge over time with the increase the fluid inside the cyst, so keeping kidney cysts in small size is the best way to prevent cyst rupture. Additional, large kidney cysts damage surrounding kidney tissues and impair kidney function directly, so by keeping kidney cysts small, further kidney damages can be avoided.

What is the treatment to stop cyst growth?

In our hospital, cysts in PKD is treated with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), but totally different from it. In this treatment, different herbs which have been proven to be good for kidney are used externally on Shen Shu acupoint. These herbs work together to make pressure difference in kidney. We know fluid flow toward the side with low pressure, so when pressure outside the cyst is lower than that inside the cyst, fluid get out of the cyst naturally. When fluid inside the cyst reduces, kidney cyst becomes smaller.

For PKD patients who take Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, they can also get some kidney damages repaired. Effective ingredients in herbs used in this treatment can activate injured kidney cells, promote renal blood circulation, improve bloodstream in kidney and provide kidney tissues with nutrient. With these benefits, some injured kidney cells can be repaired successfully. For PKD patients, when much more kidney tissues work, kidney function is improved.

Lastly, large cysts in PKD rupture more easily, so for patients who have large cysts in kidney, they should take treatment as soon as possible to shrink kidney cysts, so as to avoid unnecessary health tissues.
