Can Polycystic Kidney Disease Be Controlled Effectively

Patient’s Consultation: I am suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease and my blood pressure begins to increase these days. What treatment should I take now? The largest cyst is 4cm. I do not get waist pain presently, but my blood pressure can not be controlled effectively. The higher value of blood pressure is 140 while the lower is 100 or 110. Please give me some suggestions. Whether PKD can be controlled? Is it dangerous? What should I pay attention to?

Analysis: PKD is a kind of genetic disease of autosomal dominant inheritance. It should be treated as early as possible, because with time passing, cysts grow larger and larger, which can pull at renal capsule, causing waist pain. Besides, cysts compress healthy renal tissue, which can affect renal function. Then Uremia may occur finally. According to patient’s condition, his illness condition is not so bad. There is not renal function damage yet. If he can catch a proper timing to treat this disease in this early stage, illness condition can be reversed. Then this disease can not affect renal function and it won’t cause life danger.
