Polycystic Kidney Disease requires an early treatment which aims at dealing the symptoms and improving the kidney functions.

Surgery

Kidney Transplant
After years’ of dialysis, kidney transplant has to be put into the agenda. When you cannot make urine or just make a little urine, this treatment is very necessary. If you stop dialysis at this time, you may hardly sustain your life over time.

Dialysis
When the kidney cysts become big enough and kidney functions drop greatly, the doctors will suggest the patient to receive the dialysis to maintain the normal life, especially when their GFR is lower than 15.

Chinese therapists don’t suggest to deal with PKD only using western treatments and drugs. In the view of TCM, the key is to control the underlying kidney cysts and improve kidney function. Herbs can shrink the renal cysts naturally and repair the damaged kidneys. However, the TCM takes effects mildly and slowly. During the treatment, if mixed TCM and western treatments together, may some cases of PKD be reversed. Any help, you can contact email kidneyask@hotmail.com
