Haematuria of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Patients

Recurrent Haematuria is a problem most patients are worried about, and how to prevent Haematuria recurrence has also gained high attention from Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients.

Haematuria is more common when patients are suffering from Hypertension and kidney enlargement, mainly caused by small blood vessel rupture near cysts. Besides, urinary tract infection and Kidney Stone can also cause Haematuria.
Haematuria can last for one or several days. At this moment, patients should take a bed rest and increase liquid intake. Some proper medicines can be taken to treat relative symptoms. If blood produced by blood vessel rupture enters into cyst directly, there will be severe pain instead of Haematuria. Repeated Haematuria is related with renal function injury, so patients should avoid active bleeding actively.

It is more difficult to treat Haematuria caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease than Haematuria caused by other Kidney Diseases. Clinical Haematuria caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease is easier to relapse. Generally, Haematuria can disappear in 4 to 8 days after medicine treatment, but it appears for another time not long after disappearing, especially for patients who suffer from Polycystic Kidney Disease. The more frequent Haematuria of PKD relapses, the higher risk and ganger of patients get end stage Kidney Diseases. Treating Haematuria caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease should start with many aspects:

Firstly, when Haematuria happens, patients should pay more attention on controlling infections. Most Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients are easy to get renal infections once Haematuria happened. These infections can worsen Haematuria.

Secondly, treatment that can activate blood, eliminate stasis and improve blood circulation should be taken to treat this disease. Growing cysts compressing renal parenchyma can cause glomerular ischemia and anoxia, which is reason why Polycystic Kidney Disease usually happens with so many complications. Therefore, methods that can dilate blood vessel, improve blood circulation on cyst wall and increase permeability of cyst wall should be taken to increase renal blood perfusion, speed up reabsorption of cyst fluid and prevent cysts keeping growing.


If only Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patient can block Renal Fibrosis, repair injured renal inherent cells and inhibit cyst growing effectively, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) as well as its complications, Haematuria included, can be treated. Then patients can live a normal life healthily when carrying this disease.
