When you are diagnosed with PKD, even with treatment it will gradually develop to kidney failure. How can I avoid kidney failure with PKD? If you would like to avoid kidney failure, you should pay attention to the following factors.

Healthy diet

Healthy diet plays an important role in slowing down its progression. For PKD patients, you should follow a low but high quality protein diet to reduce the workload of kidneys. You should also reduce your intake of sodium to prevent high blood pressure. In the early stage of PKD, drinking plenty of water helps decrease the risk of urinary tract infection and proper intake of food high in potassium like bananas and kiwi fruit helps neutralize the adverse effect of sodium so as to lower blood pressure. In addition, fresh vegetables and fruits are also good for your health.

Regular exercise

Doing exercise regularly is helpful for improving some symptoms, such as poor appetite, poor sleeping quality, fatigue, back pain and so on. But here gentle exercises like walking, jogging and tai chi are recommended, because strenuous activity may make your kidney cysts rupture.

Aggressive treatment

Aggressive treatment is the most important for you to avoid kidney failure. The conventional treatment for PKD is only to control its symptoms, while our therapy is to shrink the cysts and repair the damaged kidneys so as to prevent your state of illness from worsening and preserve the remailing kidney function.
