Complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Bleeding may happen to internal cysts of Polycystic Kidney Disease patients, and patients may feel grievous painful if bleeding happens in a sudden. Bleeding may be caused by complicated cancer on cyst wall. Therefore, besides treating Polycystic Kidney Disease actively, taking proper and timely treatment to cure complications is also important. Main complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease patients can be listed as followed:

Firstly, Kidney Stone and internal kidney calcification: When patients get a stronger pain, colic or gross Haematuria, they may have the possibility of suffering Kidney Stones.

Secondly, urinary tract infection: complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease include cystitis, nephropyelitis, cyst infection and abscess around kidney. If Leukocyte Cylindruria and rapid response to routine anti-inflammatory treatment happen among complications of PKD, it is beneficial to diagnose nephropyelitis. While positive hemoculture and local pressing pain mostly refer to cyst infection. Infectious cysts can be found through CT examination.

Thirdly, cyst cancerization: whether cysts can turn to caner or not is still disputed. If patients suffer from complications of PKD get pain on renal region or Haematuria change, and they have a losing weight and increasing blood deposit as well as anemia not equal to kidney function or globalism, patients should be cautious of complicated renal cancer. At this moment, patients should receive CT examination in time, and renoarteriography can be taken if necessary.

If cysts of PKD patients is located at low position of kidney and very close to ureter, complications of PKD patients can worsen hydronephros. And pressure caused by urine on renal pelvis can cause pain on back. Besides, this can lead to renal infection.


PKD patients should receive effective treatment actively in order to prevent complications happening. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has a good therapeutic effect on treating PKD. It avoids liver injury caused by gastrointestinal tract stimulation from oral medicine. During the process of Micro-Chinese Medicine treating OKD, Chinese Medicine can arrive at renal lesion directly and local high medicine concentration can play a more effective role in treating this disease. Through this method, cyst fluid can be recycled more quickly, which can reduce cyst size and cystic pressure on kidney as well as relieve renal injury. Besides, Micro-Chinese Medicine can protect remained healthy nephron and repair renal function gradually. Meanwhile, some Western Medicine can be taken to prevent inflammation, which can offer a beneficial environment for Chinese Medicine to play its function fully. What’s more, Micro-Chinese Medicine has no side effect with less recurrence.
