Healthy kidneys filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood to
form urine as well as regulate amounts of certain vital substances within the body.
Fluid-filled cysts formed in PKD can profoundly enlarge the kidneys while replacing
much of normal structure, causing decreased kidney function and resulting in Renal
Failure. When PKD causes kidneys to fail, you may have to undergo dialysis.
Hemodialysis and PKD
When the kidneys aren't working properly, waste products, salt, and
excessive water will build up the body and can quickly lead to a toxic reaction.
Dialysis can help patients to remove these substances from the blood.
Hemodialysis uses a hemodialyzer machine to filter blood that flows from an
opening in the arm or leg. After the blood is filters, it is returned to the body.
In this way, harmful wastes and extra salt and fluids are moved which helps to
control the blood pressure and keep the proper balance of chemicals like sodium in
the body.
Meanwhile, there are some disadvantages of hemodialysis. 1) patients have to
follow a fixed treatment schedule; 2) the treatment require patients to have strict
diet and fluid limits; 3) patients have to take more medicines and have more
frequent ups and downs in how they feel from day to day; 4) it has no effect to the
deteriorated kidney function, and patients' conditions may still get worse and
worse.
Is there any better alternative treatment aside from hemodialysis?
There may be no better choice in western medicine, so more and more people
transfer their attention to Chinese medicine. Recently, a new therapy have been
developed as the latest treatment for renal failure induced by PKD. This is known
as Immunotherapy.
How to treat PKD effectively with Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is a new therapy developed by the renowned kidney experts in
our hospital based on 26 years' treatment on PKD. It can treat the disease
effectively through regulating the overall immune system, so the underlying cause
can be eliminated. Curative effects may include:
Series of symptoms will get relieved gradually, and patient's life quality
gets significant improved.
Enlargement of the renal cysts can be stopped. Immunotherapy can improve
the lining cells' monitor, so these cells will no longer proliferate, thus
preventing the further growth of cysts.
All of the cysts will be restrained and shrunk over time. Multiple cysts'
size will become smaller and smaller, and they will never recur after
disappear.
Renal function gets effectively improved. This is based on the functions of
Immunotherapy including eliminating inflammation, removing harmful substances,
enhancing blood circulation, and creating a favorable condition for kidney
repair.
As a new way to treat kidney injury and PKD, Immunotherapy provides patient
with new hope to live a normal life.
Immunotherapy is an integrated Chinese - Western medicine, which can not
only improve patient's life quality but also treats the underlying cause. It can
shrink the enlarged cysts, reduce their oppression to normal kidney units, repair
the damaged renal inherent cells, and recover the kidney function in a maximum
degree. For people who are interested in our new therapy, you can consult our
online doctors.
