PKD is a hereditary kidney disease, which is characterized by fluid-filled sacs. What is the treatment involved in treating PKD?

Conventional treatment for PKD

-Medicine to control symptoms

Medicine is often prescribed to control your symptom. High blood pressure is often reduced by ACE inhibitors and ARBs. Urinary tract infection can be alleviated by antibiotics. Back pain can be eased by painkiller, etc. Western medicine can quickly relieve your discomforts, but they have side effects.

-Kidney replacement treatment

Dialysis and kidney transplant are the common kidney replacement treatments for PKD patients. When your kidneys can not work properly to cleanse wastes and excess fluid from your blood, dialysis takes over part of kidney function while kidney transplant is to put a healthy kidney to help discharge wastes. But they are also faulty. Dialysis also has side effects, such as infection, muscle cramp and skin itch. Though kidney transplant allows you to live a better life, it exposes you to various disease due to the intake of immunosuppressors.

New treatment for PKD

Just controlling the symptoms can not stop the growth of kidney cysts and at last your PKD will develop to kidney failure. New treatment is needed to shrink the kidney cysts and protect your kidney function.

In kidney hospital China, we find that certain Chinese herbs can take effect on these cysts after years of research. Some of them can restrain the proliferation of renal tubule epithelial cells. Some of them can dilate blood vessels. Some of them can improve blood circulation. And some of them can increase the permeability of cyst wall. These can help cyst fluid be reabsorbed and taken away with blood circulation. As a result, kidney cysts shrink. Besides, they are anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degrading extracellular and supplementing essential substances. These can help kidney self-healing.
