The Development Rule of PKD

As we know, Polycystic Kidney Disease (hereinafter called PKD) is a kind of hereditary disease. And massive clinical practices ascertain this disease has a certain rule to progress. Grasping this rule can help us better treat PKD immediately and prevent related complications to some extents. The below passages deal with its progression rule.

1. the stage of emergence

As a genetic disease, PKD is accompanying with the person, but they are too small to detect in the early days. Usually, patients do not present symptoms before 20 years old. But family members should take early related test if there is someone suffered from PKD in the family, so that they can check out cysts and take proper measures in time.

2.the stage of growth

In the age of 30 to 40, cysts can grow with a rapid race, and it is called growing stage in medicine. During this time, PKD patients should closely observe the cysts’ development, and take immediate proper measure to prevent its aggravation.. Up to now, western medicine has not any effective method to treat this disease , and what western medicine can make is just to treat some individual symptom, which seems rather passive. In the viewpoint of Chinese Medicine, we should also take effective medicines to promote blood circulation and relieve stasis in blood, so that cysts can be blocked to further grow or postpones its growing speed. Clinical experience proves that this is a key period to prevent cysts aggravation.

3. the stage of swelling

After 40 years old, cysts can become further swollen if no proper treatment was adopted before. The time when cysts exceed 4cm and nearly ruptures is called swelling stage. With the swelling of cysts, various clinical symptoms may emerge, like lumbago, Proteinuria, Hemauria and high blood pressure etc. In this stage, patients need further observe the variation of body. This stage is regarded as the critical period for the combination of western medicine and Chinese medicine. Patients can take Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and relieve stasis and toxin in blood. This process can reabsorb sac liquid and restrain its secretion so that remaining renal function can be protected properly.

IV, the stage of rupture

If cysts continue growing, they may rupture under external pressures. Once cysts rupture, patients should get treated in the hospital immediately to curb infection and prevent septicemia and renal function aggravating.

V, the stage of Uremia

As to the treatment of Uremia, we should take a peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis according to specific conditions. The aim of dialysis is to build a favorable environment for ensuring treatment.
