PKD is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease and patients usually have a
family history. And its incidence rate is 50% and the abnormal gene can be
passed from generation to generation. With the enlargement of cysts, patient's
kidney will become big so your belly will enlarge correspondingly. Patients
usually have some common symptoms like high blood pressure, inconsistant
hematuria, back pain, fatigue and so on.
Actually, the most dangerous factor for PKD is that the enlarged cyst can
press normal renal tissue, thus causing ischemia and anoxia in kidneys. Kidneys
fail to work gradually. There is no effective treatment which can remove genetic
disease at present. But that is not to say we can do nothing about this disease.
Clinical experience shows that as long as we can control the enlargement of
cysts, renal function can be protected and patient can lead a normal life in
that case. It is proven that the smaller cysts are, the fewer discomforts there
is. So early treatment is quite necessary to reduce the discomforts.
Our treatment for PKD in our Hospital is called Chinese Medicine. This is not
an oral medicine but an external osmotherapy. The effective component can
penetrate into human body through waist area. Patients can take this treatment
just by lying on the bed. The mechanism of the treatment is to dilate blood
vessels, restrain the hyperplasia of cystic cells, increase the permeability of
cystic cells.
By taking this treatment, cysts can stop enlargement and begin to shrink
gradually, which can effectively reduce cysts' pressure on kidneys.
Consequently, renal function can be protected. Compared with western surgery,
this treatment has low side-effect, and will not impair normal renal tissue. As
per patient's reaction to the medicine, patients need to take the treatment 2-3
times each day and it takes 45mins per time, patients can feel massaged during
the treatment, safe and comfortable.
