Some patients are unfortunately affected by two types of kidney diseases. One
patient told me he has polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and glomerulonephritis
simultaneously. He want to know whether polycystic kidney disease lead to
glomerulonephritis.
Our experts give the correct answer that there is no obvious relationship
between polycystic kidney disease and glomerulonephritis. It is known that PKD
means that numerous kidney cysts develop in kidney tissues. Along with the
growth of cyst, kidney tissues would be stretched and many cells would be dead
due to this high pressure. However, it would not lead to renal inflammation in
kidneys. So these glomeruli do not die of glomerulonephritis.
Although polycystic kidney disease would not lead to glomerulonephritis
directly, it may create a bad internal environment for patients to develop renal
inflammation in glomeruli.
PKD is a hereditary disease, so most patients get the disease from her
parents. And every glomerular has the faulty gene, so they all may have the risk
to develop into cysts. Once cysts are formed, they would continue growing with
no effect treatment. Big cysts lead to a high pressure on kidney tissues. High
blood pressure, hematuria and other symptoms would occur to make a further
damage. Besides, kidney damage would greatly reduce their immunity and the
healthy glomeruli are easy to get infected in this bad internal environment.
Could these kidney diseases be treated meanwhile?
In our hospital, immunotherapy can give a wonderful treatment for kidney
diseases, polycystic kidney disease and glomerulonephritis. In immune
regulation, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is suitable for them.
It can turn the lining cells of cysts to normal, so they would not continue
to secret cyst fluid and produce more lining cells. Furthermore, Chinese herbs
can dilate blood vessels and accelerate the microcirculation so as to increase
the pressure difference. So the cyst fluid can pass through the cyst membrane to
surrounding tiny blood vessels and would be discharged through urine.
What is more, Chinese herbs can greatly balance immune system, so the renal
inflammation in glomeruli can be put down. Glomerulonephritis also can be
gradually restored. If you are troubled by these kidney diseases, you can have a
try to adopt immunotherapy.
