PKD means there are a lot of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. These growing cysts will damage the kidney structure and decline kidney function. At last, PKD develops to kidney failure. How to stop PKD progression? You should do the following points.

Diet

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, reasonable diet can also treat disease. For PKD patients, you should drink plenty of fluid to prevent urinary tract infection in the early stage of PKD, but if your kidney function has impaired, you should limit fluid intake to prevent edema. You should also follow a low protein diet to lower burden on kidneys and a low sodium diet to lower blood pressure. Fresh vegetables and fruits are high in vitamins, which can neutralize free radicals and protect you from aliments, so you can take them properly.

Exercise

Exercise is good for improving immune system. A strong immune system can help you fight with kidney disease. But strenuous activity may make your kidney cysts burst easily, so you should avoid them. Instead, you can do some gentle exercise, such as walking, jogging, tai chi, swimming, cycling, etc. Its frequency, duration and intensity should be made according to your medical condition.

Mood

Powerful psychological forces can help you overcome illness. So you should keep an optimistic attitude at any time.

Treatment

Treatment is the most important. The conventional treatment is to control its symptoms, but it can do nothing to stop its progression. There are a lot of alternative treatment to PKD in the world. In China, we often recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It does not only shrink kidney cysts, but also repair damaged kidneys as well as improve kidney function.
