Care of Polycystic Kidney Disease in Different Stages

Besides right treatment, Polycystic Kidney Disease patients should take good care of themselves in their daily life. However, patients should receive relevant care according to the illness stages.

Stage one: without obvious damage of kidney functions

Patients should know more about the basic knowledge about Polycystic Kidney Disease when they are diagnosed with it. They should avoid collision, pressure, strong activities to avoid hematuria and urinary tract infections. What is more, patients should have a proper diet, take adequate exercise, have a regular life, have proper rest, quit smoking and drinking.

Stage Two: Polycystic Kidney Disease with Renal Hypertension ( High Blood Pressure)

When Polycystic Kidney Disease patients have renal high blood pressure, they should take some anti-hypertensive drugs prescribed by the doctors; consume low-salt, low-lipid foods with high-quality proteins; Have a good rest; prevent from getting a cold; try not to get urinary tract infections and enteral infections; have checks of urine routine and kidney function regularly.

Stage Three: Middle Stage of Chronic Renal Failure caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease

Try to avoid using drugs of renal toxicity such as Gentamicin, kanamycin, vancomycin and so on. These drugs can directly damage the renal parenchyma. Because at this stage, the kidneys’ ability of discharging wastes decreases, these drugs will aggravate this condition.

Take more fruits and vegetables containing high Vitamin and high ferrum. Limit the intake of salt in 3-5g per day for fear of the swelling.

Stage Four: End-Stage Renal Failure (Uremia)

The enlargement of the cysts will cause the kidney lose most of their functions. At this stage, the most important thing is to maintain patients’ life, which means the wastes accumulated in the body should be discharged.

It brings a lot of difficulty for patients to have peritoneal dialysis because the cysts are so large. At present, many patients will have to choose hemodialysis.

However, because the hemodialysis can cause a lot of complications, it is better to get rid of it. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapyation can effectively treat Polycystic Kidney Disease, effectively reducing the dialysis frequencies.


The above are different cares according to different stages of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Here we remind patients to receive treatment as early as possible.
