What are the treatments for Polycystic Nephritis?

● Surgery. Surgery is a common choice for Polycystic Nephritis. Surgery is used to remove the larger cyst to release the pressure to kidney tissues. However, as larger cysts are gone, the smaller ones will develop faster for there is more space to grow up. This therapy surely can not stop the relapse of Polycystic Nephritis.

● Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) stops the growth of renal cyst and shrinks the renal cysts naturally. TCM can take effects on lining cell which secretes cyst fluids constantly. TCM is proved to alleviate Polycystic Nephritis in a large degree and leads no relapse. However, the TCM soup tastes bitter which makes many patients feel sick.

● Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the new development of TCM, which grinds the loose herbs super-finely and collect the micro-size powder into medical bag which will be used to hot compress on waist area. With the help of osmosis devices, the ingredients of herbs will permeate into kidney lesions and take effects directly. As this is an external application, it avoids the disadvantages of TCM successfully. Meantime, it takes effects faster than the TCM.
