Normal Treatment of Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease

Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of congenital hereditary Kidney Disease, belonging to autosomal dominant inheritance disease, which means that this disease can inherit from generation to generation, but never skip generation. Each parent suffer from Polycystic Kidney Disease, each of their children can have 50% possibility of getting this disease. According to statistics, one in 400 to 1000 persons can suffer from Polycystic Kidney Disease.
With PKD occurring, clinical complications, cyst rupture, bleeding, inflammation and stones, appear. All these complications are expressed on patients’ body, which can decrease patients’ immunity and cause infection easily.

Generally, cyst decortication and puncture sclerotherapy are used to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease. These two operations can relieve symptoms of abdominal distension and waist pain in a short time, but other complications of Haematuria, anemia, High Blood Pressure and high creatinine can not be solved completely.
Such operations can only treat symptoms instead of treating the disease itself, which can aggravate kidney condition and cause renal ischemia and anoxia as well as glomerular low perfusion. Then patients’ renal function declines gradually and renal ability of excreting toxin decreases greatly, expressed by continuously high serum creatinine. Finally PKD develops into Uremia.

The correct way of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease is to start with recovering patients’ injured renal function and treating complications at the same time. Only in this way, PKD can be treated effectively.


As last, one point should be noted that patients should avoid any exercise that may increase cyst internal pressure; no matter they are accepting treatment in hospital or receiving consolidation treatment at home.
