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.
