Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease by Traditional Chinese Medicine

Many patients of the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have adopted the treatment methods of surgeries or operations, such as laparoscopic renal cyst decorbicatiou (LRCD), pumping fluid hardening operation and the kidney transplant. Maybe many patients have found that the surgeries and operations are not as effective as people think and the symptoms often recur. Then some patients wonder whether the traditional Chinese Medicine is effective on treating the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease.

In China, Traditional Chinese Medicine has thousands of years’ history and it has become a part of the Chinese culture. The Traditional Chinese Medicine has the characteristic of treating the root cause of the disease instead of get rid of the symptoms. And usually the Chinese medicine is taken as oral soup.

Therefore, the above characteristics determine the effects of the Chinese medicine. Although the Traditional Chinese Medicine can treat the cysts fundamentally without operations, the progression is rather slow and it takes a long time. As the treatment of kidney disease is a long process, sometimes, the effect of the Chinese medicine is slow than the development of this disease, so the effects are not very good in clinical.

In addition, the Chinese medicine is taken by oral soup. On one hand, the Chinese medicine soup is very bitter, so long-term taking may bring much suffering to the patients or causing the discomfort of the digestive system. On the other hand, the Chinese medicine is taken by oral method, so some of the component is absorbed by the digestive system and the effective component which can access the kidney lesion is decreased. Besides, the Chinese medicine contains much potassium, and long term taking Chinese medicine may cause the increase of potassium in the human body. So sometimes it is not suitable for some patients.

Therefore, on treating the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease, Traditional Chinese Medicine is not so effective.

Auxiliary Examination of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of genetic Kidney Disease and it usually occurs to patients among 30 to 40 years old. An early diagnosis is important to control this disease and get a good prognosis. Generally, besides family history, this disease can be diagnosed with the help of other auxiliary examinations, which will supply an accurate inspection result for doctor’s diagnosis.

(1) Routine Urine Test: no abnormality can be found in the early stage. There is microscopic hematuria in middle stage and parts of patients may have proteinuria. If this disease is complicated by stone or infection, white cells and pus cells can be found in a urine test.

(2) Urine osmotic pressure test: In early stage of pathological changes, there may appear manifestation that renal concentration function has been damaged even there are only several cysts. This change is not completely related to damage of renal structure. It may relate to adverse reaction of kidneys to antidiuretic hormone. The decline of renal concentration function is earlier than the decline of glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

(3) As the loss of renal compensatory function, serum creatinine increases progressively. Creatinine Clearance Rate is a sensitive index.
(4) Kidney Urine Bladder (KUB) can show the image of kidneys enlarged with an irregular outline.

(5) Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) can show sign that renal pelvis and calices have deformed due to compression. Renal pelvis and calices has a peculiar shape of spider. The shape of renal pelvis is flat and wide. The neck of renal pelvis is drawn out and become thin, which usually shows curve shape.

(6) B ultrasound shows there are lots of dark zones in bilateral kidneys.
(7) CT shows bilateral kidneys is enlarged with a lobulated outline. There are many thin-wall cysts which are filled with fluid.


With the above examinations, we not only understand the detailed physical condition of patients, but also provide an accurate result for doctor’s diagnosis.

How to Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease without Operation

Presently, surgical operation is commonly used in treating Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD). Patients can feel much better after operation because operation has removed big cysts in kidney and the pressure on kidney tissue can also be reduced greatly. Even so, a growing number of Polycystic Kidney Disease patients begin to find that they usually have to accept another operation to remove cysts again, which is a really bothering problem for patients.

Well then, is there a treatment that can treat Polycystic Kidney Disease without operation? The answer is yes. Chinese Medicine treatment has shown its distinctive function in this field. The main difference between Chinese medicine treatment and western medicine treatment is that there is no operation, which means that there is no trauma to kidney. For this reason, more and more Polycystic Kidney Disease patients would like to choose Chinese medicine treatment.

As a great innovation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has become more and more popular among Polycystic Kidney Disease patients. Instead of removing big cysts, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy treats this disease by shrinking cysts. Through the methods of activating blood circulation and improving permeability of cyst wall as well as inhibiting the activity of epithelial cells, this treatment can reduce cyst fluid secretion and increase cyst fluid reabsorption, thus achieving the goal of shrinking cysts. Besides, after superfinely shattered, effective Chinese medicine can permeate into kidney lesion directly with the help of penetrant and osmosis machine and provide necessary substances for kidneys to repair themselves. Through the above aspects, kidney can be protected effectively and kidney function will not decline further. Once cysts are controlled in a certain degree, they will not affect patients normal life and patients can live normally as other healthy person.


We can not solve the gene problem, but we can control the disease in a benign range by effective treatment so that it will not bring harms to patients’ daily life.

Nursing and Health Care of Patients with Hematuria

Hematuria is one of the common symptoms of the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease. To treat hematuria, except the proper and timely treatment, daily nursing and health care are very important for the patients. There are some tips for the nursing and health care of the patients with hematuria.

1, when there is blood in the urine, many patients are very panicky. At this time, proper comfort and explanation is necessary for the patients. If there is 1-3ml blood in 1000ml urine, it belongs to gross hematuria and the hemorrhage is not so serious. But it doesn’t mean that it can be taken lightly.

2, the patients should develop a good habit of drinking water in daily life.

3, stop smoking. Besides, in the daily life, eat less spicy food. And the following food are the taboos of patients with hematuria, such as aquatic products (including shrimp and crab), hot pepper, garlic, shallot, caraway, dog meat, horsemeat and ass meat.

4, prevent from the urinary system inflammations, infections and kidney stones and other diseases.

5, in the daily life, patients should not make the bladder in the high-filled condition. Don’t hold urine and avoid the urine being retented in the bladder.

6, patients should alternate work with rest and avoid overworking and strenuous exercise.

How to Prevent Hypertension from Aggravating to Uremia

Many people know that the stroke easily happen to the hyperpietics, in fact, the relation between hypertension and uremia is rather close. If the hypertensive nephropathy can not be treated systematically and effectively in the early stage, it at last will aggravate to renal insufficiency uremia. According to researches,15 percent of hypertension will develop into uremia, and whether we can control the blood pressure will directly influence the occurrence 、development、curative effect and prognosis of uremia. Therefore, the patients of hypertensive nephropathy should take regular examinations and prevent the uremia. Concretely, there are the following aspects we should pay attention to:

First, control the blood pressure on the ideal level

China is a country with a large number of hypertension patients, and the hypertension patients of our country are faced with the phenomena: low awareness rate, low medication rate and low control rate. According to the general survey, only less than 50 percent of patients have realized they are hypertension, and among them, less than 12.5percent are taking medicine to treat the hypertension; and only 2.9percent of them can control the blood pressure in the ideal level. Therefore, we should spread the publicity of hypertension and it is extremely urgent to enhance the people's cognition of the hazard of hypertension.

Second, take close examination of renal function

It is the precondition of preventing the damage of renal function to control the blood pressure in the ideal level. Ta the same time, we should take close examination of the renal function of the hypertension patients.

1. Take regular examination of renal function, including Ccr (endogenous creatinine clearanee rate), Scr, urea nitrogen, it would be best to take an examination every two months.

Take close observation to see whether there are early symptoms of uremia, such as the symptoms of lassitude and soreness of waist etc. the symptom of digestive tract like inappetence and sickness, and the symptom of anemia like sallow complexion, tongue nature light, lib and eyelid pale. So, once these relevant symptoms occurred, we should take a renal examination to determine whether there are any problems.

All the patients with the decrease of cer endogenous creatinine clearanee rateand and the increase of scr and urea nitrogen should be treated with the therapeutic schedule of the early stage of uremia.

Third, choose therapeutic schedule and medicine reasonably


There are varieties of categories of antihypertensive drugs, which are suitable for different types of symptoms. The basic principle of choosing antihypertensive drugs is that the drugs do not contain the renal toxicity or even possess the function of renal protection. Research shows that ACEI, ARB, CCB, and βBRB can not only control the blood pressure but also can protect our kidney. As to the remedy of hypertension, it will be much better for the stability of blood pressure and renal protection if we coordinate the western hypotensor with Chinese medicine which can regulate blood pressure and tonify liver and kidney.

Can We Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease without Medicine

As we all know Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a type of genetic kidney disease and it is hard to treat. What we can do is to control the progression of this disease. And the good news is that if the patients can make a good control of the development of the cysts, they can lead a normal life despite of the disease. And there are many cases that this disease didn’t attack for the whole life of many patients.

Then how to control the progression of the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease, except the commonly mentioned aspects, such as preventing from cold, reasonable diets, controlling blood pressure, preventing from injuries, avoiding overworking and so one, timely treatments are very important for the patients. As the treatment of kidney disease is a long process and it is painful, some patients wonder whether there are treatment methods can treat this disease without medicine.

At present, such therapy is not available, and the dietary therapy just can play a companying role to the medicine therapy. To treat this disease, we must adopt effective medicine. And the good news is that, at present, we have developed out Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy takes advantage of the thought of treating inner disease by external application, which can relieve the patients’ suffering by osmosis applications. That means patients can treat this disease without suffering the pain of taking oral medicines and operations. And clinical practices have proven that this therapy is both effective and convenient.

The Five Flavours of Chinese Medicine Food

All foods in traditional Chinese medicine are assigned according to the five flavours: sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty and the four natures: cool, cold warm and hot.The flavour of food (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty) can be used to predict its effects on the body. Many foods belong to more than one of the five flavours, for example vinegar is seen as being both bitter and sour and cheese as being sour and sweet.

The nature of food (cool, cold, warm and hot) also has a direct effect on the body and modifying its preparation can make it more suitable to an individual’s constitution. Raw food is the most cooling for the body, requiring more energy to digest than food that has been cooked. Examples of the same food prepared in a different manner are muesli compared with porridge, salads compared with stir-fried and roasted vegetables, or a piece of fruit that is compared with one that is stewed or baked.

In this context a ( cooked) potato salad is viewed as more warming than a (raw) green salad but not as warming as a hot baked potato, although the basic qualities of the potato will remain unchanged (that of a sweet flavour with qi and blood tonifing properties).

The five flavours of food with examples

Bitter foods Such as rhubarb and dandelion leaf, tend to drain heat and cool. Some bitter foods such as rhubarb have a purgative effect as they induce bowel movements

Sour foods Such as grapefruit and olives are cooling and in small amounts aid digestion

Pungent or spicy foods Such as onion and cayenne pepper have a warming action, promoting energy to move upwards and outwards to the body’s surface. They also have useful properties in dispersing mucus from the lungs.


Salty foods such as kelp and soya sauce are cooling and hold fluids in the body.Sweet foods can be divided into two groups 1) Sweet foods that are neutral and nourishing or warm and nourishing, these include meat, legumes, nuts, dairy products and starchy vegetables. 2) Sweet foods that are cooling, these include fruits, sugar, honey and other sweeteners. Potatoes, rice and apples are all considered to belong to the sweet flavour
