As for Polycystic Kidney Disease patients, no symptoms can be found in the
early stage of this disease. For this reason, patients do not pay attention on
this disease even though they know they are having this disease. Does ‘no
symptoms’ equal to ‘no seriousness’? Is it really not serious? Actually, just
because there are no symptoms in the early stage, most of Polycystic Kidney
Disease patients have missed the best treatment opportunity. When symptoms begin
to appear, it usually means that cysts have already caused certain damage to
kidney and kidney function has already been declines.
Most of Polycystic Kidney Disease patients have family history of this
disease, so they know clearly what will happen if this disease progressed into
end stage. Some of their family members may die from this disease; some may be
accepting dialysis or waiting for a donor for Kidney Transplant; some may have
already accepted Kidney transplant but now their kidneys fail again, etc. Even
though they know so clearly about the harms of this disease, they seldom pay
high attention on the disease they are having because they do not feel
discomforts. They do not concern it seriously until symptoms, like high blood
pressure, increasing creatinine, blood in urine, etc, appear. However, when
these symptoms appear, it means declined kidney function. As we all know,
symptoms always happen after pathological damage occurrence. So when patients
feel discomforts, kidney damage has already been declined. Once kidney function
declines, the difficulty of the treatment is greatly increased.
Actually, if patients can find this disease and accept effective treatment
before symptoms appear and kidney function decline, Polycystic Kidney Disease
can be controlled and stopped effectively. As a result, patients will not need
dialysis or transplant. What’s more, the therapeutic effect is much better for
patients who are still in the early stage of this disease. If you need more
