For patients with the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), cold is an
important factor that can affect the patient’s condition. Many patients’
condition is aggravated because of the cold. So what does a cold do with
polycystic kidney disease?
Under the stimulation of various Infectious agents, such as oxygen radical,
virus, germ, dust and so on, the body's own immune system will be activated and
generate inflammatory response to resist the foreign attack, which is the
actively “justifiable defense” carried out by our own organism body. Then our
kidneys will generate new types of antigen antibody reaction, then this will
lead to large amount of immune complex to deposit in the kidney blood vessels,
which will cause the ischemia and anemia of the kidneys. When the kidney
encounters continuous and repeating foreign attacks, it will be impossible for
the body do resist so many attacks. Gradually, there will be the damage to the
tissues and lead to the further damage to the kidney.
The better choice for polycystic kidney disease patients is to prevent from
catching a cold, instead of treat the cold after the catching it. Then how to
prevent from catching a cold?
