The Underlying Relations Between PKD And Hypertension

The majority of people know that high blood pressure can cause Coronary Disease and Stroke. But few people realize that there is a relation between high blood pressure and Polycystic Kidney Disease (hereinafter called PKD). Medical research shows that high blood pressure can damage kidney. Similarly, renal injury can also incur high blood pressure. In other words, there exists an underlying link between PKD And Hypertension, and one's lesion will definitely affect the other.

Many PKD patients take hypotensor to control their blood pressure, but these hypertensors can further damage unsound renal function which probably develops into Hypertensive Nephropathy and Renal Failure ultimately. As we know,kidney is a viscera which composes of various micro blood vessels. And these micro blood vessels may present arteriosclerosis if high blood pressure cannot be curbed properly. That is why most Hypertension patients have renal function damage to some extent. These damages may be aggravated with age if they could not be controlled and treated immediately. With its further progression, glomerular sclerosis, renal mesenchyma fibrosis can occur. At last, patients have to suffer from Renal Insufficiency and even Uremia.

Reversely, PKD can also induce Hypertension. The more severe PKD patients’ renal function decreases, the higher their blood pressure increases. In the end stage of Renal Failure, over 80% PKD patients have apparent Hypertension. Just because of this, the progress of renal injury will be accelerated if the sufferer has Hypertension.

PKD patients with Hypertension must take kidney examination regularly. In the clinical practices, there are two kinds of tests generally. One is based on renal morphology and the other is related with renal function. The former one can be detected by Type-B Ultrosound Examination, CT and etc. the latter one refers to Blood and Urine Routine Test. It is advisable for PKD patients with Hypertension to take routine tests so that they can grasp their disease properly. If there is abnormal urine protein and erythrocyte in their urine or blood routine test presents Glomerulus Filtration Rate (GFR) declines and Serum Creatinine (Scr) increases etc. , this manifests that their renal lesion needs to get treated immediately.

Besides, PKD patients should also closely observe the variation of their body. PKD patients with Hypertension have no apparent symptoms in early or middle stages, but they need to notice that Edema in eyelid and lower limbs is an implication of renal damage. And if patients present bad appetite, nausea and vomiting, anemia, easy fatigue and even lumbago, bad spirit, their disease may develop into middle and final stage.

Actually, any complication has a direct or indirect relation with another, so we need to make comprehensive consideration when we take treatment and medicines. In other words, we cannot treat one disease but ignore other diseases. We must realize their cause and effect then we can treat them radically.

Operations of Treating Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Can operations treat PKD effectively? Clinically, operations are adopted commonly to treat PKD and these operations can get a fast effect indeed. For this reason, most patients would like to choose operations to treat PKD. While how about the general effect of these operations.

Firstly, operations can only treat the disease starting with surface disease instead of real disease causes. Surgical operations are good at removing lesions with the purpose of eliminating discomforts caused by neoplasm, but they can not treat the disease from its root. All surgical operation are aiming to deal with large cysts, having very tiny role in treating smaller cysts. Besides, with internal pressure decrease, other smaller cysts will grow much more rapidly due to disappeared pressure. After a certain period, these small cysts can compress kidney for another time, causing kidney injury continuously. Therefore, PKD patients are not suggested to take this treatment as long as there is any hope in order to cause the vicious circulation mentioned above.

Secondly, Nephrectomy and Kidney Transplant have not only extremely expensive cost but also unpredictable consequence. As for most PKD patients, Nephrectomy is a good way to treat this disease radically and it is indeed. But as a larger surgical operation with larger trauma, Nephrectomy also burdens patients both on mental and physical heavily. Besides, due to genetic feature of PKD, the other kidney may get acute failure once damaged kidney is removed. As for Kidney Transplant, besides expensive cost and difficulties in finding matching kidney, rejection happened after operation usually makes patients shrink back.

From the above, though operations can have fast effect, they still have unavoidable disadvantages. When patients decide to take such operations, they should be cautious enough after general consideration. Comparatively speaking, conventional treatment is more suitable for treating PKD.

How Chinese Medicine Treats Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Normally, there can be no obvious symptoms in early stage of PKD and treatment or medicine is not necessary if the cysts are smaller than 3cm and there are no obvious symptoms. But if cysts are larger than 3cm, timely treatment should be considered because growing cysts can compress kidney and cause kidney injury. Besides, as for some patients, cysts usually grow rather rapidly in some period, so regular body check is necessary for patients suffering from Cystic Kidney Disease.

Compared with surgical operation, Chinese Medicine has its distinctive advantages. We adopt Chinese Medicine to treat PKD, which has gained excellent effect. We call this treatment as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is developed on the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Different prescriptions are adopted according to individual condition, but all the prescription have the same functions of treating PKD by activating blood circulation and dredging channels.

Firstly, some compositions of Traditional Chinese Herbs have the function of tonifying and repairing kidneys, but have slower effect and lower utilization due its oral medication way. Based on this problem, we micronize these Chinese Herbs into tiny molecule, which has covered the shortage of Traditional Chinese Medicine, playing a better role in tonifying and repairing kidneys in an external application way.

Secondly, during the process of Chinese Medicine treatment, there is no operation and no trauma because Chinese Medicine treats such disease starting with shrinking cysts by inhibiting and eliminating activity of epithelial cells which can secrete cyst fluid. With cyst fluid decrease, cyst will shrink gradually.
This is the special difference between Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine which mainly treats cyst by surgical operations. Besides, after operation, cysts usually reoccur for another time and patients have to accept another operation, which forms a vicious circle, causing great damage to kidneys.

Thirdly, Chinese Medicine is more convenient. After accepting treatment, when patients have steady illness condition, they can take these medicines home for consolidation treatment.

The Development Rule of PKD

As we know, Polycystic Kidney Disease (hereinafter called PKD) is a kind of hereditary disease. And massive clinical practices ascertain this disease has a certain rule to progress. Grasping this rule can help us better treat PKD immediately and prevent related complications to some extents. The below passages deal with its progression rule.

1. the stage of emergence

As a genetic disease, PKD is accompanying with the person, but they are too small to detect in the early days. Usually, patients do not present symptoms before 20 years old. But family members should take early related test if there is someone suffered from PKD in the family, so that they can check out cysts and take proper measures in time.

2.the stage of growth

In the age of 30 to 40, cysts can grow with a rapid race, and it is called growing stage in medicine. During this time, PKD patients should closely observe the cysts’ development, and take immediate proper measure to prevent its aggravation.. Up to now, western medicine has not any effective method to treat this disease , and what western medicine can make is just to treat some individual symptom, which seems rather passive. In the viewpoint of Chinese Medicine, we should also take effective medicines to promote blood circulation and relieve stasis in blood, so that cysts can be blocked to further grow or postpones its growing speed. Clinical experience proves that this is a key period to prevent cysts aggravation.

3. the stage of swelling

After 40 years old, cysts can become further swollen if no proper treatment was adopted before. The time when cysts exceed 4cm and nearly ruptures is called swelling stage. With the swelling of cysts, various clinical symptoms may emerge, like lumbago, Proteinuria, Hemauria and high blood pressure etc. In this stage, patients need further observe the variation of body. This stage is regarded as the critical period for the combination of western medicine and Chinese medicine. Patients can take Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and relieve stasis and toxin in blood. This process can reabsorb sac liquid and restrain its secretion so that remaining renal function can be protected properly.

IV, the stage of rupture

If cysts continue growing, they may rupture under external pressures. Once cysts rupture, patients should get treated in the hospital immediately to curb infection and prevent septicemia and renal function aggravating.

V, the stage of Uremia

As to the treatment of Uremia, we should take a peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis according to specific conditions. The aim of dialysis is to build a favorable environment for ensuring treatment.

PKD patients should learn more knowledge pertinent to kidney and take active treatment. Moreover, they should keep a good mental status, their disease must can be curbed and get a satisfactory diagnosis. As long as there is a gleam of hope, our doctor will do our best to rescue the patients, so PKD patient should also have confidence in yourself that you can conquer the disease.

Mysterious Relations between PKD and Hypertension

The majority of patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (hereinafter called PKD) is adjoint with Hypertension. After massive clinical researches, there is an cause and effect between PKD and Hypertension.

The pathological agent of PKD Hypertension is affected by cysts size and numbers. With cysts progression, they can compress renal blood vessels, causing local blood flow to decrease. After getting this signal, renal receptor can report this to juxtaglomerular cell which can secrete more rennin. The content of angiotensin can increase, which makes blood vessel shrink and incur Hypertension.

Generally, PKD patients’ renal function is to be damaged or have been damaged when they present blood pressure increase. And Hypertension is regarded the landmark when PKD progresses from the stage of symptoms to the stage of Renal Insufficiency. it is necessary for PKD patients to pay attention to reduce blood pressure.

Early Symptoms of Renal Failure Caused by PKD

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a kind of chronic genetic Kidney Disease. Cysts of PKD patients grow with age. When cysts grow into some certain degree, they will compress neighboring kidney tissue, causing renal ischemia and anoxia, which can start the process of Renal Fibrosis and lead to Renal Failure.

Due to strong compensatory ability of kidney, there are few obvious symptoms in the early stage of this disease, and related symptoms will not occur until more than 90% to 95% kidney function is lost. However, at this moment, the illness condition of PKD patients has already developed into end stage. In this stage, patients may have symptoms of oliguria, anuria, nausea and vomiting as well as urea smell in mouth, etc. Sometimes, patients with more serious condition may even have symptoms of coma, hyperspasmia and so on. Here are some common symptoms appeared in early stage of Renal Failure caused by PKD.

Firstly, tongue is pale and teeth-print can be found at tongue edge. Besides, enlarged tongue as well as edema and fester at tongue root, all of which are considered as phenomenon of Kidney Failure in Chinese Medicine.
Secondly, patients feel tireless and exhausted without any reasons. In Chinese Medicine, light tiredness is due to spleen while serious tiredness is related with kidney.

Thirdly, patients do not sweat for long term and they usually scare of cold. Besides, increasing night urine or frequent urination, oliguria and urine difficulty are all early symptoms of kidney function injury.

Fourthly, some other symptoms like low appetite, asitia, nausea, vomiting as well as gastrectasia also appear in early stage of Renal Failure and Uremia. Many patients have lost the best treatment timing because they always mistake their disease as stomach illness.

Once PKD patients are found early symptoms of Renal Failure, they should go to hospital for proper treatment as early as possible in order to delay the development of this disease.

Do Not Let Drinking Harm PKD Patients

Drinking is very common in our daily life. No matter in social activities or family gathering, drinking is usually inevitable. We can say drinking has become a kind of culture. Some people like to prevail others so he drink excessively, which usually arouse many trouble, jeopardize himself and other people. For patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (hereinafter called PKD), they must not take drinking, because drinking can speed up the progress of Renal Fibrosis and incur more severe influence to his disease.

Long term drinking can arouse anemia, disorder of thrombocyte function and various bleeding; in addition, it can also result in gastrointestinal absorption disturbance and malnutrition which can decrease human body’s absorption to Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2 and folic acid, make more Vitamin B6 expel from human body; also drinking can cause Hyperlipemia and Atherosclerosis etc. We can realize drinking can damage the general conditions. The recovery of PKD patients need a favorable environment, but drinking only play a negative effect.

Moreover, drinking is harmful to kidney, because it can influence nitrogen balance of human body. More proteins are decomposed under alcohol’s function so that the content of urea nitrogen in blood get increased, which is probably add kidneys’ burden. Although the doctor say adequate drinking is beneficial to health, it’s really hard to grasp the proper extent, so PKD patients should better keep away from those so-called excitant alcohol.
