Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD), a genetic disease which appears in those with
family history, brings much suffering to the patients. Mostly at early time, we
are told it is OK to live with the growing cysts. However, as time goes on,
cysts grow both in size and in number, which leads to abdominal mass, bringing
much discomfort to the patients. Living with Polycystic Kidney Disease, what
should be paid attention to? Is there a therapy that can help us to soften,
shrink and control the cysts?
Nursing for those living with Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD)
To keep us at a good state, patients with the disease should take special
care for themselves in daily life, more exact tips can be as follows:
1. A balanced diet
For patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, over salty food, such as salted
and smoked food should be avoided. In addition, take a low-quantity and
high-quality protein foods, of which animal protein such as milk, fish and lean
meat can be the best choices. However, the exact amount varies with your own
illness condition.
2. Proper exercise
Patients with the disease should avoid strenuous exercise, especially those
with severe cysts. However, for not severe ones, exercise is possible but over
fatigue should also be avoided.
3. Regular physical examination
Regular examination can keep us be aware of our own condition so as to take
an early treatment, which can help to prevent fastening kidney damage.
What to do with Abdominal Mass of Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD)
Conventional treatment
Generally for cysts with more than 5 cm, surgeries are often taken to relieve
discomfort and kidney damage. But the remaining cysts may continue growing and
put pressure on the kidneys, leading to reduction of nephrons and kidney
function gradually.
Usually patients may be advised to take dialysis, which can replace the
damaged kidneys by excreting metabolic wastes artificially. However, kidneys can
not be repaired and patients will have to rely on dialysis or take another
therapy-kidney transplant. Kidney transplant can only be done if there is such a
kidney donator and your condition allows it. After kidney transplant, patients
will have to take follow-up examinations and treatment.
We recommend conservative treatment here, which can treat Polycystic Kidney
Disease by repairing and regenerating new nephrons without operations.
By referring to conservative treatment, we mean Micro-Chinese Medicine
Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy, both of which are natural ways to treat the
disease.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, based on the principle of "treating the
internal disease from the outside" in traditional Chinese medicine, can prevent
the secretion of cystic epithelial cells and reabsorb cystic liquid by
penetrating effective substances of Micro-Chinese medicine inside the lesioned
kidneys with effective penetrant and filtration devices.
Based on the treatment effects and the good environment offered by
Micro-Chinese Medicine, Immunotherapy can help regenerate new nephrons due to
self-replication, self-reproduction and multiple differentiation functions of
Immunotherapy.
Suffering Polycystic Kidney Disease may be, just build up your own confidence
to fight up against the disease, which, is not only for yourself, but for those
who love you so much.
