Common Symptoms of the Disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), a type of genetic kidney disease, has the characteristic of familial aggregation. So if you have the family medical history of this disease, you should take early examinations to determine whether you have this disease. If you have this disease, please take treatment as early as possible.

Because the development of PKD at the early stage is relatively slow, this disease usually attack after 30 years old and many people did not know they have this disease until the disease develop into the middle or end stage. Therefore, it is important to have a good knowledge of the common symptoms of PKD, helping us to find this disease early.

The main clinical symptoms of PKD include the following ones:

1, proteinuria: but the urine protein is little, usually the amount of urine protein of 24 hours' urine is less than 2g and usually the amount of urine protein won't lead to Nephrotic Syndrome.

2, hematuria: it can express as gross hematuria or microscopic hematuria. The attack of hematuria has the characteristic of periodicity, and when it attacks, the pain will be more serious. It can be aggravated by strenuous exercise, injuries and infections. The cause of hematuria is that the various arteries under the cysts wall are affected by the pressure and infections to rupture or to be over-stretched.

3, hypertension: the cysts will gradually press kidney with their enlargement and cause the ischemia of kidney, which will cause the increase of renin secretion and further cause hypertension. There are more than 50 percent of patients have the symptom of hypertension when their renal function is still normal. When the renal function decreases, the morbidity of hypertension will be higher.

4, abdominal phymas: sometimes, the abdominal phynas are the main reasons for patients to see a doctor. About 60-80 percent of patients' swollen kidneys can be touched. Generally speaking, the bigger the swollen kidney is, the worse the renal function is.

5, pain and discomfort of waist and abdomen: the main cause of this is that the enlarged cysts lead to the increase of water amount in kidney, which make the kidney heavier or cause the change of kidney shape. And then the heavier kidney will pull the organs nearby. The characteristic of the pain is dull pain. The pain may be unilateral or bilateral and radiate downward or to the back. If the cysts are infected or there is hematuria, the pain will be more serious. There may be renal colic if the urinary tract is blocked by stones or clottages after hematuria.

The above are the common symptoms of the disease of PKD, and once you have some of these symptoms, you must pay attention to them in order to adopt treatment in time, because the symptoms are always later than the pathological injuries.
And as for this disease, the earlier it is treated, the better the effects are. From this point, the Micro-Chinese Medicine aims at contracting cysts, protecting renal function and repairing damaged renal cells, by which it can treat this disease fundamentally.
