Hematuria is one of the symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).
Generally speaking, there is no symptom of PKD at early stage. The appearance of
hematuria means further aggravation of patient's condition. To treat hematuria
of PKD, we must find out its pathogenesis.
The pathogenesis of PKD hematuria: As for a small part of PKD patients,
hematuria is caused by urinary tract infection, renal stones, renal rupture and
etc. In most cases, this symptom is resulted from hypertension and rupture of
blood vessel surrounding cysts caused by enlarged kidney. The specific process
is as the following: with the enlargement of cysts, they will press renal tissue
and vessels in kidney, which can cause the micro circulatory disturbance of
renal tissue and renal ischemia and anoxia and further cause the damage of renal
blood capillary endothelial, then hematuria occurs.
The harm of PKD hematuria: if the patients don't treat it positively, PKD
hematuria can easily cause the infection in cysts and enterocoelia, which can
further cause high fever, sharp decline of renal function and other serious
problems.
How to treat PKD hematuria? No matter what types of PKD hematuria, they are
all caused by the enlargement of cysts, so the key point of treatment is to
contract cysts. Combination of traditional Chinese medicine with the Western
medicine is the best way of treating PKD. Western medicine mainly copes with
symptoms, while traditional Chinese medicine treats disease from pathogenesis by
controlling the enlargement of cysts, which is realized through inactivation of
epithelial cells of cysts. Then with reduced cyst liquid secretion, cysts will
stop growing.
However, we can't just neglect the existence of cysts. At the same time, we
must increase the permeability of blood circulation on the surface of cysts in
order to resorption of cysts liquid, and at last eliminate the metabolic waste
of human body through urine. Only by this way, PKD hematuria can be treated
fundamentally and seldom reoccurs.
