Five Stages of Polycystic Kidney Disease

It is well known that Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a type of genetic kidney disease and it has the characteristic of familial aggregation. According to the clinical experiments, there are some regulars for its attack and development, which can be divided into five stages according to the illness condition.

First, emergence stage: Polycystic Kidney Disease is a type of genetic disease, which means that the patients are accompanied with this disease at the beginning of their life. But during this stage the cysts are relatively small and they are not easy to be examined. Before 20 years, this disease usually won’t attack. However, for people whose family has PKD medical cases, they should make early examination and observe the growth condition of the cysts. During this stage the patient should pay attention to maintainance.

Second, growth stage: during the ages of 30-40, cysts will grow in a relatively high speed. Medically, we call this stage as the growth stage. During this stage, patients should intensify examination of the development of the cysts. Western medicine usually adopts no method for this stage’ treatment, it considers there is no need to treat and just aims at the symptoms, such as hypertension and etc, which seems rather passive. However, in Chinese medicine, we think we should adopt positive treatment, the aim of treatment is stopping the growth of cysts or restraining their growth speed by Chinese medicine with strong ability of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and we can further achieve the goal of extending patients’ longevity. So this stage is considered as a key stage for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis and restraining cysts growth by Chinese medicine.

Third, enlargement stage: for patients after 40 years, cysts will get a further growth. When cysts are larger than 4cm and before diabrosis, it is called enlargement stage. With the enlargement of cysts, there will be many symptoms, such as backache, proteinuria, hematuria, increase of blood pressure and so on. During this period, the patients should pay close attention to examination. On treatment, this stage is the key stage for combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The patients can adopt Chinese medicine to achieve the goals of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis and expelling toxin and discharging turbidity. And by eliminating the harmful cysts fluid the patients can achieve the goals of protecting renal function. Therefore, this stage is called the key treatment stage for combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Fourth, diabrosis stage: if cysts continuously grow, under the influence of some external forces, they will burst. After diabrosis, the patients should take a timely treatment, control the infection positively and avoid ichorrhemia and acute deterioration of renal function, in order to benefit the treatments for other symptoms.


Fifth, renal failure stage: for the treatments of uremia stage, the patients should pay attention to protecting renal function, peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis are suitable for the end stage.
