At present, the most commonly used treatment for polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is cyst puncture drainage, decompression and nephrectomy. However, with the development of social sciences, these conventional therapies cannot meet the need of PKD treatment. The disadvantages include the following aspects:

Surgery

Surgery is only good at cutting lesions and alleviating the discomforts for your body, but it cannot treat the disease from the root. No matter drainage or decompression only has good curative effects for large cysts and has poor effects on small cysts. Besides, after decompression, the rest of cysts will grow crazily due to loss of suppression. That is to say, cysts become more and more along with more decompression. And kidney function damage will occur and eventually kidney function is disabled completely.

It seems to many people that nephrectomy and kidney transplantation are the better treatment for PKD. These are effective therapies for PKD. However, nephrectomy is a larger surgery trauma and it burdens many patients. Besides, since PKD is a genetic kidney disease. If you cut one kidney, the other kidney will become acute kidney failure. As for kidney transplant, the expense cost, proper donor and anti-rejection after transplantation are refused by many patients.

Alternative therapy for PKD

To avoid the disadvantages of conservative treatments, alternative treatment for PKD is recommended. The alternative treatment is Chinese herbs. Some traditional Chinese herbs can increase the permeability of cystic walls and block the fluid supply of cysts. With the increased permeability of sac walls, more sac fluid can be discharged from the body through circulation. After a period of treatment, cysts can be shrunk. Surgery and transplantation is not necessary.
