Patient: I have PKD and have swelling in my right foot with my big toe. I went to urgent care today and the doctor there said it is gout. Did blood work and will let me know the results. The doctor told me to keep my foot elevated and put ice packed on it. Is there any other treatment for food gout in PKD? Please help me

Doctor: From your description, I get the illness condition of you. You said you have PKD, PKD is a genetic kidney disease with multiple cysts on kidneys, and the kidney cysts will be increased and get enlarged over time, which will oppress surrounding kidney tissues and cause kidney damage. When patients suffer from kidney damage, they can have some severe symptoms, such as your swelling in foot and gout in toe.

As we know, kidneys have the function of removing wastes and excess fluid out. When kidneys are damaged, it will cause the fluid retention in body, so you can have swelling in foot. The gout in toe is mainly caused by the accumulation of uric acid in toe, and the uric acid is the waste product of purine in blood, which is mainly excreted by kidneys. When kidneys are damaged, it will cause the accumulation of uric acid in joint.

So we can know both swelling and gout are mainly caused by kidney damage in PKD. So we need to have effective treatment to shrink kidney cysts, which can help prevent further kidney damage. And we also need to have treatment to repair kidney damage, which can help improve kidney function.

Here we recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which uses traditional Chinese herbal medicine, and the effective substances in herbs can help shrink kidney cyst and improve kidney function. Then the kidney function can be improved effectively, and the symptoms can be controlled well.
