Hypertension is not just a symptom of the disease of Polycystic Kkidney
Disease (PKD).if it can’t be controlled well in time, it will aggravate the
condition of this disease and then the hypertension will be aggravated as
return. Thus a vicious circle takes its shape. While, during the dropping of the
blood pressure, there are some matters needing attention of the patients:
First, avoid dropping blood pressure blindly: before the dropping of the
blood pressure, we must make clear whether the hypertension is caused by
polycystic kidney disease or other factors, such as pheochromocytoma,
hypercortisolism, toxaemias of pregnancy, disease of main artery and so on. Only
by knowing the real cause of the hypertension can we adopt effective treatment
methods.
Second, don’t refer to other patients’ medicine dose and prescriptions:
patients must adopt reasonable and scientific medicine prescription according to
your own illness condition. and pay attention to the individual difference.
Third, except the slight or the new-appearing hypertension, patients had
better not just adopt a single medicine. Patients had better adopt drug
combination and multiple-therapy in order to reduce the dose of every kind of
medicine and decrease the side-effects of the medicine.
Forth, insist on long-term and reasonable taking medicine and test the blood
pressure regularly, so as to adjust the dose of medicine according to the change
and consolidate the therapeutic effects. And avoid stopping medicine suddenly to
prevent from the relapse of the blood pressure.
Fifth, avoid the fluctuation of the emotion; have a good rest and keep a
happy mood. Besides, regular daily life and proper exercise are good for the
treatment of the patients
Sixth, patients with hypertension must stop smoking and drinking. And don’t
eat too much and take in food that is too greasy.
