Once complications appear in Polycystic Kidney Disease, difficulties of
treating Polycystic Kidney Disease can be increased. For this reason, it is the
same important to prevent and control complications of PKD when patients accept
treatment to treat PKD actively. Well then, how to prevent complications of
PKD?
Generally speaking, proper treatment is chosen according to categories of
complications caused by PKD.
Firstly, normal measure: most patients needn’t change their former life style
and limit their exercise. However, as for patients who have obvious kidney
enlargement, they should avoid abdominal injury in order to prevent cyst
rupture. If patients are in Uremia stage of Renal Failure, corresponding
treatment should be taken to treat this disease.
Secondly, prevent Haematuria: when Haematuria appears, besides proper
treatment based on exact causes, patients should take less exercise and have bed
rest.
Thirdly, prevent infection: renal parenchyma infection and cyst internal
infection are main complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Generally
combined application of antibiotics it taken to treat infections.
Fourthly, treatment of complicated upper urinary tract stone: treatment
should be taken according to stone site and size.
Fifth, prevent High Blood Pressure: renal ischemia and activation of
renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system are main reasons of High Blood Pressure.
Hypotensor should be chosen on this basis.
Besides, patients should pay attention on their illness condition at any
moment. Effective control on these complications does not mean controlled
illness condition of PKD. Instead, after controlled complications, treating PKD
actively is the key to treat PKD and prevent related complications. Because once
cysts exist, they can grow if there is no treatment is taken to control or
inhibit cysts. For this reason, complications can appear continuously.
Therefore, the most basic key to prevent complications of PKD effectively is to
treat PKD.
Presently, combined application of Western Medicine and Chinese Medicine is
taken to treat PKD, mainly with the treatment of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This treatment can improve kidney blood circulation and promote
reabsorption of cyst fluid, which can reduce cystic pressure. And then patients’
illness can turn better. With medicine playing their function, cysts begin to be
shrunk and renal function can be protected effectively.
The root of preventing complications of PKD is to treat PKD. If cysts growth
can be controlled and inhibited effectively, complications of this disease can
disappear naturally. So when patients take Western Medicine to control
complications, Chinese Medicine should be taken to treat PKD in order to achieve
ideal therapeutic effect.
