How to survive from Polycystic Kidney Disease? PKD, the abbreviation of Polycystic Kidney Disease, is a problem related with gene disorder, and as of now, no treatment method has been proven to be able to remove PKD gene, so so far there is no cure for PKD. Well, does not mean all the PKD patients will finally die from it? How can we survive from PKD in such a condition?

How does PKD affect us?

PKD is a kidney problem in which many fluid collections are formed in kidney and they are called kidney cyst. These kidney cysts are harmless if they keep being in small size, however, the problem is kidney cysts in PKD enlarge over time. They become larger and larger with the increase of the fluid inside the cyst. Large kidney cysts oppress surrounding kidney tissues and affect their function. We can live normally without experiencing any physical discomforts when only a small amounts of kidney tissues are injured. But the fact is with the deterioration of illness, more and more kidney tissues are damaged. They fail to work properly and under such a condition, various symptoms begin to appear.

How to survive from Polycystic Kidney Disease?

From the above explanation we can know that PKD affects us through increasing and enlarged kidney cyst, so if we can shrink kidney cysts from enlarging and increasing, our kidney tissues will be protected and kidney function will not be affected as well. This is the way that PKD patients survive from PKD.

As of now, only two treatment methods can be used to deal with cysts in kidney. One is surgery which can remove cyst from kidney quickly and effectively, but unfortunately, surgery only removes one or two cysts at one time. What is worse, when big kidney cysts are removed, small kidney cysts enlarge quickly as there is enough space for them to grow up. Another treatment method is Chinese medicine, say Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy here. It is treatment based on Chinese herbs that have been proven to be able to lower pressure outside the cyst. When kidney cysts in PKD enlarge, pressure inside the cyst is very high and under such a condition, if we can decrease pressure outside the cyst to the level lower than that inside the cyst, cystic fluid ooze out naturally. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is recommended because it can help to achieve this treatment goal.

Lastly, to survive from PKD successfully, apart from shrinking kidney cyst, we also need to get all the symptoms like proteinuria and high blood pressure under control, and meanwhile avoid foods that are harmful for kidney, as they are also a part of treatment for PKD.
