Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is an inherited systemic
disorder that predominantly affects kidneys, but may affect other organs
including the liver, pancreas, brain and arterial blood vessels. Cysts will grow
bigger with age, which may lead to renal function damages .If they are not
controlled well, there may be Renal Failure. It will of course affect health.
Therefore, we need to treat it as early as possible.
What treatments do you know?
Surgeries are the only way in the past. The only thing they can do is to
eliminate the bigger cyst. But the elimination of bigger cyst provides growth
space for small ones. Hence small ones grow quicker, resulting in oppression to
kidney again. Moreover no long time after surgeries, it will relapse again.
In recent decades, there is a new technique --Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
Micro-Chinese Medicine has function of blood vessel extension. It is very
effective to treat renal fibrosis which leads to Renal Failure. Once the
medicine goes into kidney, it will work as soon as possible to promote blood
circulation and make vessels unblocked. Blood circulation on cyst wall will be
improved greatly, which can help change conditions of ischemia and anoxic
fundamentally.
Meanwhile, it can prompt liquid in cyst being reabsorbed. The
liquid is not secreted anymore. Therefore the size of cysts will diminish even
to minimum size, which relieves the pressure to surrounding tissues. Thus renal
function can be repaired.
The addition of a good state of mind is also important. If a proper treatment
is used, with a good attitude towards disease, the patients with ADPKD will not
develop End-Stage Kidney Disease. It can also improve the conditions of
End-Stage Kidney Disease gradually by using blocking renal fibrosis method.
Patients can reduce the need of dialysis even extricate from it.
What’s more, patients with this disease need to care about the cysts in daily
life. In fact, cysts growth is closely connected with living style. Some living
habits may make cysts develop quickly. Such as liquor, beans are avoided. We
hope patients with this disease pay more attention to it.
