Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Patient

Patient: He Mingyong, man, 50 years old, Taiyuan city, Shanxi province.

Diagnosis: Polycystic Kidney Disease, Polycystic Liver Disease, Nephrotic Anemia, Nephrotic Hypertension.

Main cause: He Mingyong felt back pain after work in 2004, then, got fever with highest body temperature of 39 ℃ (109℉). Local hospital offered a diagnosis as Polycystic Kidney Disease and Polycystic Liver Disease, along with Urinary Tract infection.

Hospitalization: from 2008-12-13 to 2009-01-06, in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital.

Patient condition when he went to our hospital: Body inspection: Blood Pressure 110/70 mmHg; no stasis were found on skin; sound of lung breath is clear without wet and dry rales; heart and abdomen are normal; no Edema on lower limbs. Routine urine test: occult blood +3; 24 hours proteinuria 0.9g. Renal Function Tests:
creatine 138umol/L; uric acid 436 umol/L. through Type-B Ultrasonic examination: right kidney, 3.1*2.5 cm. Right kidney function is normal with normal structure, but left kidney have almost lost function.

Treatment: base on patient’s examination, systemic treatment was adopted: firstly anti-inflammatory to deal with Haematuria. When using Western Medicine to treat symptoms, Micro-Chinese Medicine is adopted as the main treatment.
Test result when patient left our hospital: occult blood, 1+; 24 hours Proteinuria, 0.36g; creatinine, 111umol/L; uric acid, 420umol/L.


Expert comment: Polycystic Kidney Disease is caused by growing cysts which compress kidney, causing renal injury and renal function decline. Therefore, patient has back pain and symptoms of Haematuria and increasing creatinine. In traditional Western Medicine treatment, taking drugs is the auxiliary treatment of Surgery treatment which focuses on symptoms instead of treating the disease itself. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate blood vessel on cysts, accelerate cysts blood circulation, increase permeability of cyst wall and control the continuing cyst fluid secretion. Through the above methods, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can treat Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) starting from repairing injured kidney and stopping cyst fluid secretion, which can prevent this disease developing and relapsing effectively. It has been proved by clinical practice that Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an effective treatment of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Though Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a kind of hereditary disease, patients can control it effectively if patients pay high attention on their daily life, accepting body check regularly and timely treatment actively.

How Do Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients Protect Themselves

When Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients accept normal treatment, they should also notice their daily diet and health care. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients should choose reasonable diet, pay attention on personal cleanness and prevent infection happening. With respect to measures of personal health care, some points are listed as follows:

Ⅰ. Daily Diet: Patients should avoid salty food, spicy and stimulating food as well as polluted food and broiled dishes. Patients suffering from Renal Insufficiency or Uremia should also avoid beans and bean products. Animal high-protein food and greasy food are also limited to Renal Insufficiency and Uremia patients.

Ⅱ. Enough rest: Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients should avoid severe physical activities and abdominal trauma. When cysts enlargement is obvious, hanging strip should be taken to replace waist belt in order to prevent cyst rupture. Patients should go to hospital for body check every six months, including blood pressure test, routine urine test and Type-B ultrasonic examination. All drugs of nephrotoxic should be avoided. Relatives of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients, including parents, brothers and sisters and children should take Type-B ultrasonic examination in order to make sure that whether they also have this disease or not.

Ⅲ. Preventing infection actively: Infections mainly occur in urinary tract and cyst, which are common among females. Taking a shower instead of bath and avoiding holing back urine is necessary. As for female patients, they should pay high attention on their outer private part cleanness.

Ⅳ. Patients should keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude, and be confident to conquer this disease.

Ⅴ. Hypertension should be controlled effectively in order to prevent Renal Insufficiency happening.

The key of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is to block the process of Renal Fibrosis and repair injured renal inherent cells. Only by this way, cyst growth can be controlled effectively so as not to develop into Renal Failure and Uremia. As for the treatment of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is suggested to Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients.

Active substances of Micro-Chinese Medicine can increase reabsorption of cyst fluid and shrink cysts by improving micro circulation of cyst wall, which can remove pressure from kidney effectively. Therefore, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients can have a longer and healthier life.

Common Sense of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Ⅰ. What are the differences between Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and Renal Cyst?

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and Renal Cyst are two common types among cystic diseases. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a kind of hereditary disease, with numerous cysts in renal cortex and medulla. Autosomal dominant inheritance, also known as adult PKD is more common. It usually happens after patients get 40 years old. According to clinical observation, Polycystic Liver Disease is also one of the complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). However, Renal Cyst is also called single Renal Cyst, which usually occurs in adult, especially people who are over 50 years old. One or few cysts with diameter of 0.5cm to several centimeters can be found on unilateral or bilateral kidneys. Cysts are isolated round balls, and most of them are located in cortex.

Ⅱ. What is Polycystic Kidney Disease?

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of congenital disease, involving bilateral kidneys. Cysts with various sizes bestrew the kidney, and some of them can be open to each other. These cysts can enlarge kidney volume and press renal parenchyma, causing renal function injury until Chronic Renal Failure happens. Most patients have family history with various manifestations.

Ⅲ. Classification of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is categorized as two types. One is infant type which is always accompanied by other congenital malformation. Most sock children die in a few months after birth. The other one is Adult type which always occurs among middle-aged patients, usually accompanied by intracranial aneurysm and other cystic lesions of liver, spleen, pancreas, ovary, bone and other organs.

Ⅳ. How about the hereditary regulation of adult Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?

Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is common among clinical cases, with morbidity of 0.1% to 0.2%, following the regulation of autosomal dominant inheritance. It occupies 5% to 10% of End Stage Renal Failure.

Firstly, equal morbidity for male and female

Secondly, children have 50% chance to carry cyst gene if one of their parents has Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), and this number increases to 75% if both parents have Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).

Thirdly, children will not carry cyst gene if they don’t get Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), and their next generation will not get this disease, too. Seldom symptoms can be found before this disease occurrence, but illness condition can develop rapidly once symptoms appear. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is one of common causes of Uremia patients at middle age, and it is also one of the most common hereditary Kidney Disease.

Ⅴ. What are Clinical manifestations for Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?

Firstly, pain on waist and abdomen is initial symptom for most patients, happening constantly or transiently. Painful feeling will be more serious after tiredness.

Secondly, blood urine is also an initial symptom, and most of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients may have this symptom, expressed by intermittent painless gross Haematuria.

Thirdly, abdominal masses can be touched on bilateral upper abdomen with different sizes.

Fourthly, Hypertension accompanied with vertigo and headache usually occurs.
Fifthly, in Renal Insufficiency stage, obvious abnormality can be found through renal function tests. Renal Deficiency data are abnormal obviously in renal function test; with low but stable urine gravity.


Sixth, about 1/4 patients have renal colic, frequent urination, urgent urination and other discomforts.

How to Prevent Polycystic Kidney Disease to Develop into Renal Insufficiency

For Renal Failure caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), it has complicated manifestations. In addition to pkd characteristic fluctuations, like lumbago, abdominal lump and Hematuria, etc, many complications may occur, and the common types include Hypertension, cysts' infection and cyst rupture etc. In the final stage, symptoms like swelling abdomen, waist distending pain, dyspnea, urinary tract infection, nausea vomiting etc. makes sufferer rather painful.

I. Detecting the disease as early as possible

According to statistics, 60%-70% of patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have a tendency of inheritance, and it has equal incidence for male and female exceptionally. Therefore, several persons may get this disease simultaneously in a family with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) history. Generally, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) bursts in 25-35 years old. And some symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) can be found only when Renal Failure occurs. Hence, it is advisable to do general check and regular visit for family members with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) history, so as to detect the disease in early time and take treatment in time. Present check methods like Type-B Ultrasonic examination, CT, and MRI etc. can diagnose this disease. Regular test on Serum Creatinine and Urea Nitrogen should be conducted, because they can reflect the damage of renal function and its progression status. The approach of DNA diagnosis can be applied in early pregnant period in order to know the condition of fetus inheritance, which is helpful to improve eugenic rate.

II. Early prevention and complications’ treatment

Hypertension, urinary tract infection and cysts crack are the common complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and they are also the important factors to(of) inducing and aggravating renal functional damage. It is requisite to treat and control these complications in time. However, to avoid nephrotoxic medicines is noticeable in the treatment. It is probable that cysts infection, accompanying with bleeding or cysts rupture occur, if constant hematuria, severe lumbago and abdominal pain etc. happen. That is reasonable that patients should be sent to the hospital in time in order to avoid delaying illness condition and aggravating Renal Failure.

III. Tapping treatment

Tapping is a universal treatment in western medicine in recent years, and it is applied in manifold cysts. The aim of tapping to those cysts is to eliminate or relieve the pressure of cysts to renal tissue, so as to recover kidney blood flow volume, protect and improve renal function. Meanwhile, it has a pleasant curative effect on treating cysts’ infection, bleeding and abscess. The advantage of cysts tapping is simple operation, tiny injury of tissue and less pain to patients. Moreover it can be operated repeatedly. The drawback is that it can not treat this disease radically.

IV. Chinese medicine treatment

Chinese medicine has extraordinary effect on treating chronic renal failure. Especially for those sufferers in early and middle stages, Chinese medicine can relieve clinical symptoms apparently, control the progression of disease and decrease Serum Creatinine and Urea Nitrogen. To treat Renal Failure caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), some Chinese medicines like Dangshen, Chinese Rhubarb, Angelica sinensis etc can be adopted to improve blood circulation and eliminate stasis, clean humid and relieve toxin so as to get pleasant curative effect. But Chinese medicine works slowly and has a long treatment course.

V. Combined treatment of Chinese and western medicine

To treat Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Micro Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy with special efficacy is one of the most effective treatments with satisfactory prognosis. By improving blood circulation and removing obstruction in body, cysts can shrink and disappear on their own. The aim to recover renal function and cure disease can be attained finally.

VI. Household care and nourishing

Renal Failure caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a chronic progressive disease which can be aggravated by sentimental changes, excessive fatigue and irregular diet, falling and injury. Hence, sufferers with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) should keep a pleasant mental status, combine rest and work, build confidence to conquer disease and cooperate with the doctor to treat this disease. Patients can eat fresh and mild diet rich in nutrition, ear more fruit and control protein intake properly. Besides, patients should eat less raw and cold foods, spicy and excitant stuff; quit smoking and drinking; keep defecation unobstructed. Sufferers are requisite to limit the intake of sodium salt when apparent Hypertension and Edema occur. Proper recreations and sports can be done but patients have to protect waist from being squeezed in order to avoid cysts rupture and bleeding. Patients with severe conditions need to stay in bed.

VII. Kidney replacement treatment

Patients in final stage of Renal Failure lost part or total renal function, and have a bad sensitivity to drugs. Clinical symptoms aggravates increasingly as well. It is reasonable to take kidney replacement treatment, hemodialysis, combining with Micro Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. On one hand, it can replace kidney to discharge toxin out of body, on the other, it can save the final renal function. The aim is to reduce dialysis frequency and help patients get rid of dialysis thoroughly, so as to moderate the disease fundamentally. Enterocoelia capacity decreases due to obvious kidney enlargement, so peritoneal dialysis has bad curative effect, and hemodialysis is usually conducted in such a case. However, patients with constant bleeding or uncontrollable Hypertension can consider surgical operation to remove the kidneys. Certainly, they can also take kidney transplant.


In conclusion, to protect the remaining renal function and avoid further damage of renal function, patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) need to prevent and treat complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) actively in early stage. Most of the patients can control and improve their renal function and clinical symptoms as long as taking proper and correct treatment, so as to keep the condition stable, improve life quality and extend life expectancy.

Treatment in Accordance with Individual in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Definition: the opinion of “treatment in accordance with individual” refers to that the principle of choosing medicine to treat some disease should be determined by patient’s age, gender, body constitution, living habits and other individual features.

Application: in the process of treating disease, doctors should consider the whole condition of patients instead of concentrating on the disease isolate.
Firstly, age: physiological function and pathological features are different from every age. For example, old people have Qi and blood failure and declined physical function. These patients usually have asthenia symptoms or asthenia Qi and sthenia pathogenic factors. When choosing treatment, nourishing method can be taken to treat asthenia symptoms, while dealing with sthenia pathogenic factors should choose prescription carefully in order to damage Qi. Generally, normal medicine dosage should be taken in the case of considering age factor.

Secondly, sex: both male and female have their distinctive physical features. Medicine should be chosen carefully, especially for female patients who are in menstrual period, pregnant period or postpartum period and other periods. For example, when patients are pregnant, toxic medicine and medicines that have function of drasticpurgation, breaking blood, lubricating and can cause injury to fetus should be limited or forbidden.

Thirdly, body constitution: due to different congenital factors and acquired nursing method, body constitution can have differences of not only strong and weak, but also cold and heat. And sometimes, some people may also get some Chronic Diseases. Therefore, even patients are suffering from the same disease, they can take different medicines.


Some other factors, like career, working condition, can be also related with some certain diseases, so when doctors are making a diagnosis, they should also consider all these factors.

What Is the Specific Test and Check-up for Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients

Firstly, urine routine test

There are no abnormal symptoms in early stages. But Hematuria appears and even Proteinuria occurs in some sufferers in middle and final stage. Pyocyte and leucocyte can be detected when stone and infection happens.

Secondly, urine osmotic pressure test

The damage of kidney concentration filtration can present even there is only several cysts in the early stage of lesion. This implies that the lesion does not relate with damaged renal structure totally, it may be caused by the bad response of kidney to diuretic agent. The decline of renal concentration function is prior to that of glomerulus filtration rate.

Thirdly, serum creatinine

Serum creatinine rises progressively with renal compensatory ability failure. Creatinine clearance rate is a sensitive indicator.

Fourthly, kidney ureter bladder (KUB) plain film presents the shade of kidney enlarge and irregular kidney outline.

Fifthly, intravenous pyelogram (IVP) presents deformation signs of renal pelvis, renal calices; they have strange shapes like spiders. Kidney pelvis is flat and wide and calices neck is extended, curled-shape seemingly.

Sixthly, Type-B Ultrasonic examination shows many dark spaces in bilateral kidney areas.


Seventhly, computed tomography (CT) shows that bilateral kidneys enlarge, the external shape appears lobulated and numerous cysts with thin wall are full of liquid.

Combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine and Immunotherapy

Micro-Chinese Medicine is a newly developed treatment of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) by China Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. It is known that Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of genetic Kidney Disease. In the early stage of this disease, seldom obvious symptoms can be found, which always make patients neglect it. Due to its concealed feature, when it occurs, patients’ renal function has already been injured to some degree.

After many years of research and clinical practice, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, our hospital developed Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Compared with Traditional Chinese Medicine, this treatment has its distinctive advantages on treating Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Firstly, it can dilate blood vessel, improve blood circulation and increase renal blood perfusion, which can relieve the condition of renal ischemia and anoxia caused by cystic pressure on kidney.
Secondly, it can eliminate the activity of epithelial cells on cyst wall and prevent these cells secreting cyst fluid, which can reduce cyst fluid secretion and shrink cysts. Thirdly, micronized Chinese Medicine can provide necessary substances for kidney recovery. Through these methods, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can repair injured kidney cells and protect remained healthy cells effectively, improving kidney internal environment.

Though Micro-Chinese Medicine has so many advantages, it can not make the dead cells survive again. Immunotherapy can cover this problem perfectly. Immunotherapy have the ability of self-replication and multi-directional differentiation. After transfused into patients’ body, Immunotherapy can differentiate into new cells that body needs. Based on the favorable internal environment provided by Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Immunotherapy can play their functions much better.

The combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy has provides a brand new treatment in treating Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). It has been proved by many clinical practices that this treatment is effective on treating Polycystic Kidney Disease.

What Is The Harm of Hematuria in Polycystic Kidney Disease

Hematuria caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is the common symptom among PKD patients. Only few PKD patients have fewer cysts or bleeding in early stage, Cysts can grow increasingly in the majority of PKD patients’ body, which can arouse cysts rupture and bleeding finally. For cysts growing causes pressure which results in cysts’ wall rupture and bleeding. Bleeding volume is not the same, and over 60% of PKD patients have once bleeding in their life.

Sufferers may have no symptoms or just have abdominal pain, and this pain becomes severe when the bleeding cysts is not connected with urinary tract. Hypertension and kidney volume enlargement are the chief reasons. And infection and stress are prone to induce bleeding in large areas.

General treatment for Hematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

The general treatment includes bed rest and relieving pain. Compared with Hematuria caused by other Kidney Diseases, it is more challengeable to treat Hematuria resulting from Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Generally, bleeding can be stanched after taking treatment for 4-8 days.

But Hematuria reoccurs soon. This is especially common among PKD patients who suffer from anemia. The more times patients have Hematuria, the higher incidence End Stage Kidney Disease attack. Hence, to treat PKD Hematuria, patients need to take treatment from many aspects.

Can Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients (PKD) Drink Milk

Milk has a high nutritious value as well as various mineral substances. Besides Calcium which is known well to us, phosphor, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and molybdenum are also in a high content. Generally, chemical compositions of milk include: 87.5% water, 3.5% fat, 3.4% protein, 4.6% lactose and 0.7% inorganic salt. In addition, milk is easy to be digestive and convenient to take, so Polycystic Kidney Disease patients can drink milk. Well then, is there anything about diet should PKD patients pay attention to?

Firstly, protein intake limitation: patients should take less animal protein like chicken, duck, fish and meat, etc as well as less food rich in vegetable protein like beans and bean products. Especially for PKD patients suffering from Renal Insufficiency, they should take less bean and bean products or something like this. Low-protein diet plays a significant role in lightening kidney burden and relieving illness condition.

Secondly, patients should avoid spicy and stimulating food such as chili, liquor, chocolate, coffee, sea fish, shrimp and crab as well as other similar food.

Thirdly, limiting food with heavy taste such as slated food: when controlling salt intake, patients should adjust their salt intake according to their illness condition and renal function condition. Not every PKD patients need limit salt intake strictly.

Fifthly, patients should avoid taking nephrotoxic medicine. However, when patients get High Blood Pressure and Edema, hypotensor can be taken, though it has toxic effect, because too high blood pressure can damage kidney more seriously.

The above are principles of PKD patients’ daily diet. And what food should be eaten more for Polycystic Kidney Disease patients? PKD patients should eat more fruit and vegetables with rich vitamins and iron. Alkaline food should be taken more due to its assistant function in treatment.

Though proper diet plays a very important role in the process of Polycystic Kidney Disease treatment, the key of treating this disease is effective treatment. On the basis of choosing proper diet, patient should accept proper treatment actively.

Bleeding of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Bleeding is very common among Polycystic Kidney Disease patients. More than 60% patients have one time bleeding in their life. Patients may have no symptoms or have abdominal pain only. When bleeding cyst is not open to ureter, patients can feel sharp pain. High Blood Pressure and kidney enlargement are main dangerous factors that can cause bleeding. CT examination and MRI examination are helpful to make a diagnosis if massive blood caused by cyst rupture enters into peritoneum. During the process of diagnosing, bleeding should be distinguished among tumor, stones or infection.

If bleeding occurs, patients should have bed rest and accept treatment to relieve painful feeling. In most cases, bleeding stops automatically within 48 hours to one week after it happened. As for patients who are older than 50 years old, if bleeding period is longer than one week, the possibility of tumor can be abandoned. As for massive bleeding, more times Dialysis can be taken and the dosage of anticoagulant should be controlled strictly. It is better to choose half-life small molecular weight heparin. Bleeding occurrence means aggravated renal function. Patients who get bleeding usually have worse prognosis than patients who do not have bleeding.

Micro-Chinese Medicine is suggested to treat this disease. it has been proved that Micro-Chinese Medicine has good effect on reducing cyst fluid secretion and shrinking cysts. When cyst growth can be controlled effectively, bleeding can have less possibility of happening.

What Is The Pathogenisis of Polycystic Kidney Disease

The pathogenisis of PKD have not attained consensus up to now. Some researchers thought Polycystic Kidney may result from the expansion of Bowman cyst, or it may be aroused by the expansion of convoluted tubule. It is caused by the connecting obstruction between glomerulus, convoluted tubule and collecting tubule developed from Wolffian tubule.

Bialestack pointed that some cysts are abnormal hyperplasia nephrons, which is called huge nephrons. Still some other people regard that some cysts have a function of excreting.

Bricker has made chemical analysis on cyst liquid, and the finding shows that the component of it liquid is similar to that of urine.

Norris thought that many temporary nephrons units can not shrink normally and some nephrons present local coarctation and segmentation. Therefore, cysts with different sizes occur. Hepler assumed that this disease happens because renal blood circulation has abnormal distribution, which results in the regression of renal parenchyma.

Hidd-brant proposed that the connection was lost between secretion organ and excretion organ during the growing period. And secretion organ is blocked and secretion can not be discharged. Then cysts appear.

Still other people thought that fibrous obstructions were caused in excretion pipe by mechanical factor, say, local infection in fetus stage, or urinary cylinder or undissolved calcium salt, which obstruct urine excretion, arousing enlargement to the renal tubule gradually.

There are still two views which can explain some clinical symptoms:

Dammin regards that gland system have excessive gland tubule epithelial cell formation during the development of normal embryo. But epithelial cell of the gland system can degenerate, and disappear in the ensuing development stage. In the beginning of degeneration, these epithelial cells finish the segmentation of epithelial tubule. If segmentation does not degenerate, cysts can appear, which can explain the phenomenon than multiple cysts occur in spleen, pancreas, or even ovary, womb and bladder.

This disease is usually related with bilateral kidneys. The weight of a normal kidney is about 150g. As for ADPKD patients without symptoms, single kidney weighs 256g on average and this number may be 465g on average if patients have symptoms. It is common to see diffusive cysts among kidneys of ADPKD patients.
Cysts with different sizes distribute in renal cortex and medulla fully, which make kidney seems like a string of grapes. Epithelial cells on cyst wall have limited hyperplasia, forming polyp-like shape. Besides, ECM has abnormal hyperplasia, and proximal tubule expands and develops into cyst in which the component of fluid is similar to plasma. Cyst developed from distal tubule, with less sodium and chlorine but higher urea and creatinine in the cyst liquid. With age growing, the number of cyst increases and cystic cavity enlarge to 2-3cm in diameter for patients with symptoms. In the final stage, cyst diameter can reach 20-30cm and the total kidneys are occupied by cyst virtually. Generally, cysts with more than 3cm diameter usually contain fluid similar to blood or blood clot.

Polycystic Kidney section presents that cysts are located in renal cortex and renal medulla in conformity and kidney pelvis and kidney calices change their normal shape obviously. In severe cases, there is seldom remaining renal tissue virtually. As for patients with lighter symptoms, this disease is usually confused with multiple simple cyst disease.

It can be observed under microscope that normal renal tissue is pressed by neighboring cysts. Based on the Angiosclerosis or Pyelonephritis, glomerulus sclerosis, tubule shrink and mesenchyme fibrosis develops. It's difficult to identify cysts tissues' resource, unless cyst keeps its original tissue in normal position and morphological features of epithelial cells.

General Analysis on Treatment of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a kind of congenital Kidney Disease, always involving bilateral kidneys. If patients accept proper treatment that can control cysts growth and prevent this disease developing into Renal Failure and Uremia, patients can have a longer life, living healthily as other normal people, even if they are suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Well then, how to treat this disease?

Both Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine have their own methods to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).

Ⅰ. Operation in Western Medicine

Firstly, Cyst Decortication: this operation can reduce the pressure on renal parenchyma caused by cysts and prevent majority remained nephrons being compressed and damaged further, which can relieve the condition of renal ischemia and anoxia. Through this way, part of nephrons can be recovered, delaying the process of disease developing. The key of a successful operation is to take this operation as early as possible. Cysts, including small cysts and cysts located in deep kidney, must be decorticated completely. Both kidneys should be operated, with interval period of more than half year during the two operations. If End Stage PKD patients who get renal function injury are suffering from Azotemia or Uremia, no matter they get High Blood Pressure or not, Cyst Decortication has little effect at this moment. Contrarily, this operation can worsen illness condition.

Secondly, Dialysis and Kidney Transplant: once PKD develops into End Stage Renal Failure, patients should be given Dialysis treatment immediately. Hemodialysis is the first choice due to enlarged kidneys which nearly occupy the whole abdominal cavity. As for Kidney Transplant, the survival rate of Polycystic Kidney Disease is almost equal to this operation on other Kidney Diseases. However, complicated disease at the same time has increased the difficulties of post-operation nursing, which affects the effect of Kidney Disease greatly.

Ⅱ. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment and Characteristic Chinese Medicine Treatment:

Firstly, Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: presently, Chinese Medicine adopts conventional treatment, orally Chinese Medicine, to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease, which has gained a good effect. Based on the opinion of wholism and choosing treatment according to syndrome differentiation, Chinese Medicine considers that PKD is the result of interaction of both internal factors and external factors. Though Chinese Medicine can not solve gene problem presently, the conventional effect of it is much more advanced than Western Medicine, and it has no side effect and very few recurrence. While Traditional Chinese Medicine still has some disadvantages like slow effect period and low medicine utilization as well as bad taste.

Secondly, Characteristic Chinese Medicine: this refers to Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is a brand new treatment of PKD with brilliant effect. During the process of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, active substances of micronized Chinese Medicine can enter into kidney lesion directly. Through the method of improving microcirculation of cyst wall, Micro-Chinese Medicine can increase reabsorption of cyst fluid reduce cyst fluid secretion, which can shrink and reduce cysts gradually. Then pressure on kidney can be relieved, which prolong PKD patients’ live greatly.

Patient’s Case Analysis of PKD

Patient: Chen Ming

Gender: Male

Age: 33

Address: Fuxin City, Liaoning Province

Diagnosis: Bilateral Polycystic Kidney and Bilateral Kidney Stone

Main Causes: Swollerpain in Waist after working, Hematuria for more than a year
One year ago, the patient felt swollerpain in waist but without apparent causes. The local clinic diagnosed him as urinary system infection, and the patient took antibiotic treatment, but he did not attain good curative effect.

Then the patient transferred to Fuxin Regional Hospital, in Liaoning Province. Type-B Ultrasound Examination showed Bilateral Polycystic Kidney Disease and Bilateral Kidney Stones. The biggest cyst reached 5.6X5.8cm and the biggest stone was 3.5cm. Urine Routine Test indicated Occult Hematuria with 3+, the number of leucocyte was 15-20 pieces under a high power field. Then he took anti-inflammation and symptomatic treatment, but no pleasant therapeutic effect was achieved.

Later, the doctor in his village clinic prescribed him with Chinese herbal medicine. Four months later, Type-B Ultrasound Examination result presented cyst enlarged to 6.2X5.6cm and there was much liquid in the cysts. Renal Function Test showed Glomerulus Filtration Rate was 324umol/L. Blood pressure was 170/100mmHg and Hemachrome was 9.7g/L. Patient stopped using medicine on his own. To get further treatment, the patient came to our hospital for treatment. Patients was admitted in our hospital as Bilateral Polycystic Kidney and Bilateral Kidney Stone

After admitted in our hospital, the patient got Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and other symptomatic treatment, and he began to turn well after treatment for 21 days. Urine Routine Test presented that occult Hematuria turned negative. Swollerpain in waist got relieved obviously. Hemachrome rose up to 112g/L from 97g/L at the time when he was admitted in our hospital. Blood pressure was 140/80mmHg. He had no sweat before, but sweated a lot after taking Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Expert remarks:

I, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has three courses of promoting blood circulation, removing stasis in blood and generating new nephrons. Once kidney basement membrane isrepaired, serum creatinine can decline gradually and renal function can be recovered step by step.

II, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy improves blood circulation, increases permeability of cyst wall, facilitates the effusion and absorption of sac liquid so that intracapsular pressure can be decreased and cysts shrink. At last, renal function can recover.

III, Hypertension can be controlled, because Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can promote blood circulation and remove obstruction in blood, which can add blood perfusion to renal blood circulation, decreasing blood pressure. Moreover, blood supply to kidney gets improved exceptionally.


If you have any question about PKD complications, you can contact me by email kidney-treatment@hotmail.com, I will give you prompt and professional instruction.

Be Prudent to Prevent Complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) usually occurs after 30 years old. Patients need to go to the hospital for a diagnosis once blood pressure increases and Proteinuria and Hematuria are detected in the urine. With Spring Festival oncoming, patients should pay more attention to PKD complications for a pleasant festival.

Urinary tract infection

This complication is very common among PKD patients, and it contains Cystitis, Pyelonephritis, Cystic Infection and Abscesses around kidney. For women, apparatus applied in urinary tract check can cause infection. It is helpful to diagnose Pyelonephritis, if leucocytes cylindruia occurs and patients have a sensitive response to usual anti-infection treatment. If blood culture presents positive and patients have local pressing pain, it is probably cystic infection which can be detected by CT

For this complication, patients need to control diet strictly and avoid activities increasing pressure of abdominal cavity. In addition, it is necessary to prevent cold and infection, not to touch toxic materials, especially materials causing toxin to kidney.

Kidney Stone and renal calcification

Patients should think about the possibility of the complication of Kidney Stone, if severe pain aggravates and gross Hematuria occurs. PKD complications include cyst rupture, bleeding, infection, stone and malignant lesion etc. Patients should try their best to avoid doing activities to increase enterocoelia internal pressure, including that patients keep defecation unobstructed and do not button the belt tightly etc.

Canceration

It is still controversial whether PKD can arouse canceration. Patients should alert the complication of canceration, when PKD patients have pain in renal area, and/or Hematuria change, weight lose, erythrocyte sentiment speed-up, Anemia unmatched with renal function, abnormal increase of erythrocyte etc. In this case, patients need to take CT immediately and even renal artery radiography can be conducted if necessary.

Renal Fibrosis is still the chief reason to cause progressive aggravation of renal function. Inflammatory reaction damages the structure of glomerulus inherent cells, and impairs glomerulus filtration function. To treat Renal Insufficiency caused by PKD, patients need to take treatment which can block Renal Fibrosis, dilate blood vessels, improve local micro-circulation, decrease sac liquid and decline intracapsular pressure as well as defeat inflammation and coagulation and degrade fibrous tissues. Only by this, the progression of disease can be restrained. Besides, the treatment can also repair the damaged tissues, recover renal function. As long as the restoring works, cysts can shrink and Serum Creatinine can decline.

Actually, kidney health can be affected by slight matters. PKD complications can occur if patients do not take care of themselves properly and do not treat disease from the pathological reason. Keeping an optimistic, cheerful and tolerant attitude to life and disease is a best healer to prevent and treat PKD and its complications.

How does PKD Haematuria Occur

Haematuria is a common complication among PKD patients. Most patients know that they are suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease when they go to hospital for body check due to Haematuria. Almost all PKD patients have Haematuria. Well then, PKD patients may have the question that how does Haematuria occurs.

Due to renal microcirculation obstruction as well as renal ischemia and anoxia, renal inherent cells can be injured, starting the process of Renal Fibrosis which can worsen renal inherent cells injury contrarily. This can reduce renal filtrating function. With renal filtrating function decline, kidney can not prevent Red Blood Cells leakage. Then Haematuria occurs.

With patients aging, cysts keep growing and increasing, which can cause great pressure on renal tissue and renal blood vessel, resulting in kidney local microcirculation obstruction and then renal ischemia and anoxia. This can damage endothelial cells of renal capillary, causing Haematuria leakage. Meanwhile, filtration of inflammatory cells in blood can start the pathological process of Renal Fibrosis. Renal function also declines progressively. Besides, some patients may get Haematuria due to complicated urinary tract infection or Kidney Stone.

Could PKD Patients Take Soybean Milk

In the past, soybean milk is a common breakfast food in western countries. But now, this diet also tends to be popular in China. We can see it in soybean milk stall, shop and in the rank of supermarket. We can purchase soybean milk machine in the booth of household electrical equipment. People can make soybean milk with various flavors according to their appetite. Then could PKD patients drink soybean milk? Below information can instruct us some knowledge about it.

Trophic Value of Fresh Soybean Milk

Fresh soybean milk is abundant in qualified protein and various microelements essential to human body, and it is widely recognized as ‘GREEN MILK’. Its nutritive value is approaching to milk and the content of protein is up to 2.56% which exceeds milk. The standard content of protein in milk is 2%. Protein in soybean milk is qualified vegetable protein. Soybean milk is rich in calcium, phosphor, iron and other mineral materials. The content of iron in soybean milk is 25 times of that in milk. Moreover, soybean milk does not have cholesteral and lactose, but milk contains lactose. Lactose cannot be absorbed by human body unless it is decomposed by lactase and the majority of people in China lack lactase, which is the crux why many people present diarrhea after drinking milk.

Besides, it contains large amount of unsaturated fatty-acid, soybean saponin, isoflavon, lecithin and other dozens of beneficial material to human body. It has efficacies to decrease cholesterol, prevent Hypertension, Coronary Disease, Diabetes and other diseases. Moreover, soybean milk has a function to fortify immunity and prolong organism caducity.

Therefore, PKD patients can drink soybean milk, but the amount should be proper. Certainly, the amount to take depends on patients’ situation. If PKD patients have Edema, they are not allowed to drink soybean milk because the water intake is controlled.

Renal Failure Caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

PKD is a kind of congenital Kidney Disease which involves bilateral kidneys. A large number of cysts with different sizes spread over the whole kidney, and some of them may open to each other. With cysts growing and increasing, they can enlarge kidney size and compress renal parenchyma, which causes renal parenchyma atrophy, resulting in renal function damage, or even Chronic Renal Failure finally.

PKD can be divided into two types. One is Infantile Type, referring to autosomal recessive inheritance. Most sick children die in several months after birth. The other one is Adult Type, referring to autosomal dominant inheritance. This type usually occurs at middle age, always complicated by polycystic lesions on liver, spleen, pancreas, ovary and bones as well as Intracranial Aneurysm.

As for the treatment of Renal Failure caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease, the key is to accept proper treatment and to prevent complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease actively in order to protect remained renal function and avoid further damage to renal function. As long as proper treatment can be taken in time, symptoms of most PKD patients can be relieved and renal function can be improved.


Hypertension, urinary tract infection and cysts rupture are common complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Meanwhile, these factors are also important factors that can induce and aggravate renal function damage. For this reason, these complications must be treated and controlled in time. Nephrotoxic medicine should be avoided during the treatment process. If patients get continuous Haematuria, or serious waist pain and abdominal pain, it mostly means cyst infection complicated with bleeding or cyst rupture. As this moment, patients should be sent to hospital for treatment as soon as possible so as not to worsen illness condition and aggravate Renal Failure.

How Does Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy Repair Injured Kidney

As we all know, if one’s kidney is injured, kidney cells can be divided into three parts: dead cells, injured cells and healthy cells. Dead cells can not survive again, so the key of repair kidney function is to reverse injured cells and protect healthy cells.

Some compositions of Chinese Herbs have good effect on repairing and protecting kidney cells. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine prescription, our hospital has developed Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which has a better and faster effect than Traditional Chinese Medicine. Micronized Chinese Medicine can enter into renal lesion directly, producing a high medicine concentration in renal lesion. It mainly plays three functions in repairing kidney. Firstly, it can dilate blood vessels in kidney so as to improve kidney blood circulation. Secondly, micronized Chinese Medicine can provide necessary substances for kidney recovery. Thirdly, it can eliminate blood stasis and remove obstruction in blood vessel. Through these methods, Micro-Chinese Medicine can improve kidney condition, repairing injured kidney cells and protecting healthy cells effectively.

Aiming to these dead cells, we suggest Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy have the ability of self-replication and multi-directional differentiation. After transfused into body, Immunotherapy can differentiate into new cells that kidney needs.

Our hospital combines these two treatments together. Micro-Chinese Medicine can activate blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis. From this way, it can improve body internal environment which can create a beneficial foundation for Immunotherapy to play their function. It has been proved by many clinical practices that it treatment is effective on repairing kidney indeed.

What Are the Premises for PKD Patients to Have a Healthy Baby

Some parents with Polycystic Kidney Disease (hereinafter called PKD) worry whether they can have a healthy baby after they take kidney transplant. As to this confusion, there are some key points which PKD patients need to consider.
Fertile women’s renal function keep normal within 1.5-2 years after taking kidney transplant, and she has no Hypertension or her Hypertension get controlled. Proteinuria presents negative or small amount. There is no acute injection reaction in human body and her renal pelvis and renal calices does not present extension. On the above conditions, PKD patients can get pregnant. However, theses mothers need to take anti-rejective medicines which can suppress newborn’s immunity in their rest life. Therefore, infants is not advisable to take breast breeding. PKD women need to take into account whether their specific conditions suit to be pregnant. Taking careful observation after pregnancy is necessary to decide whether pregnancy is suitable to continue, and the pregnancy needs to terminate in case of the happening of bad situations.

Generally, nephritic patients can give birth to a healthy baby smoothly and their original kidney disease will not aggravate due to baby birth, If she has no Hypertension, renal function damage or massive Proteinuria. In sum, it is recommended to have a baby as soon as possible once PKD patients build a family, because renal function can decrease gradually with age. In that case, they may miss the optimum opportunity to be pregnant.

Getting Rid of PKD Relapse

For patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (hereinafter called PKD), they have to face a frustrating problem. That is, their cysts relapse frequently after taking cyst decortications or tapping. As we know, cyst decortications and tapping are the traditional method to treat PKD in western medicine. Though they can eliminate the big cyst, small cyst can grow rapidly without those big cysts’ pressure. Hence, cyst decortications and tapping are just makeshift to treat PKD to some extent,. Then is there any effective measure which can treat this disease and reduce patients suffering? To figure out this, we make such an special instruction as below to present cysts pathological agent and the therapy to avoid its relapse.

Autosomal dominant cystic genes make phenotype of kidney tubule epithelial cell transfer into the epithelial cell of cysts wall which can secrete sac liquid constantly. The secretion can propel cysts grow gradually and normal nephrones get replaced by them. In this case, the barrier function of glomerulus, can decrease correspondingly, so does the function of kidney tubule concentration, reabsorption and regulation. Hence, outer symptoms, such as Proteinuria and Occult Hematuria, appears in urine routine test. But the focus locates in the epithelial cell of kidney tubule.

So we need to take western medicine to treat outer symptoms, meanwhile, we adopt Micro-Chinese Medicine to treat cysts radically. That is, the active ingredient entering the kidney will extinguish cysts' epithelial cells and forfeit its secretion function and prevent sac liquid to further secrete, also cysts will stop growing. But cysts exist already, we cannot keep it stay here, consequently, we use drugs to improve blood circulation permeability on the cysts surface, and reabsorb the sac liquid, then through metabolism discharge them out of body by urine. This is the radical treatment to cyst and the disease will not relapse generally.

Two Methods of Palpation in Traditional Chinese Medicine

There are two methods of palpation in Traditional Chinese Medicine. One is called General Palpation which refers to general touch on arteries located in some certain parts of body. The other method is called Cunkou Pulsing method which is generally adopted by Chinese Medicine. Cunkou is located at the surface position of flexible artery behind wrist. If pulse can be felt as floating wood on water by light touch of figures, it is called floating pulse. This pulse condition usually means that there is light and surface exogenous disease. There is also a pulse condition called deep pulse which can be felt only by heavy touch. This usually shows pathological changes on internal organs.

Normally, pulse of healthy adult should be around 70 per minute and a little slower or faster are also normal. If an adult has more than 90 pulses per minute, we call it rapid pulse and fever disease may appear. On the other condition, if pulse is less than 60 per minute, we call it slow pulse and disease caused by cold factor may appear. Floating pulse and deep pulse can be used to judge the position of lesions while rapid pulse and slow pulse can be used to distinguish the nature of disease. Whether the pulse is strong or not can be taken to judge excess or deficiency of the disease.


Because the development of a disease is a complex process, there are various pulse conditions with different characteristics in diagnosis. After long-term clinical practice, Traditional Chinese Medicine has summarized a series of systemic pulse theory, contributing great to human health.

Common Knowledge of Urea Nitrogen

What is Urea Nitrogen?

Nitrogen content in blood urea is called urea nitrogen which is the residue of protein in body. In Physiology, it is the same with urea. Based on Ammonia and carbon dioxide formed by amino acid, urea nitrogen is produced in liver.

Healthy value of urea nitrogen:

After filtrated by kidney glomerulus, urea nitrogen is excreted to urine. If kidney excreting function declines, urea nitrogen concentration in blood will increase. For this reason, urea nitrogen is usually considered as an important index of judging kidney function. The normal value of urea nitrogen should be in the range of 8-23mg/dl.

Sometimes, test result can change due to diet. For example, when glomerular filtration rate is 50% to 60% and there is a 120g high-quality protein intake, urea nitrogen can become 35mg/gl.

Urea nitrogen content of male may be higher than female who can have higher value before menstrual cycle and lower value in late stage of pregnancy. New born baby has the lowest value within 5 months after birth and the value will approach to adult value at the age of 1 to 6. When people is older than 50 years old, their urea nitrogen increases with age, which may mainly caused by renal function decline and general body fluid decrease which can affect kidney blood flow.
Besides, high urea nitrogen also appears after physical exercise, diarrhea, vomiting and fever. 20to 25mg/dl is a standard range. If the test result is out of this value, other points should be involved, including dehydration, fever, anemia or daily medicine intake. Under such condition, people should have a secondary test some days later. Meanwhile, other tests, like urine protein, urinary sediment as well as creatinine, etc, should be taken as reference tests.
