Cure for ADPKD
Patients with ADPKD can control the disease from progressing into Renal Failure by proper treatment.
How ADPKD cause Renal Failure?
ADPKD is featured with the numerous fluid-filled cysts growing in kidneys. With age, the epithelial cells of cysts will excrete cystic fluid ceaselessly to enlarge the cysts gradually. As a result, the enlarged cysts will oppress the surrounding healthy nephrons and replace them gradually thus triggering Renal Failure. In China, we use Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to control cysts enlargement.
How to prevent ADPKD from developing into Renal Failure?
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can shrink the cysts by transforming the function of the epithelial cells and improving their reabsorption ability. As a result, the cysts will become smaller and smaller gradually. Meanwhile, the effective medicine in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can provide some necessary nutrients for repairing the impaired nephrons so as to improve renal function to some extent. In this way, it can help the patients with ADPKD avoid the destiny of having dialysis or kidney transplant.
However, the patients with ADPKD should know that Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is not almighty. If the kidneys fail completely and they have no urine for a long time, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy does not have so much significance. When the patients have no urine, it implies there is no blood flow in kidneys. Therefore, the medicine can not reach kidney lesions at all. That is why the patients with ADPKD are recommended to receive treatment as early as possible.
Multiple Cysts on Kidneys Cause
In clinic, there are mainly two kinds of Kidney Cysts including Simple Kidney Cysts and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).
1. Simple Kidney Cysts is very common among the elderly above 50 years old. With age, its incidence will also rise. Simple Kidney Cysts typically occur as one cyst on the surface of a kidney. But Simple Kidney Cysts can occur as multiple cysts affecting on or both kidneys. Usually Simple Kidney Cysts don’t cause signs or symptoms usually don’t require treatment. However, if the cysts enlarge above 5 cm, they will injury renal function. In this case, you must receive treatment as early as possible.
2. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a more serious kidney disease than Simple Kidney Disease. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a common genetic disease with high heritability. However, in some cases, the patients may have no family history and the disease is caused by gene mutation. In Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), usually both of the patients’ kidneys are covered with multiple cysts. In the early decades of years, the patients do not present symptoms at all. However, with age, the cysts will enlarge gradually. Generally speaking, the symptoms such as back pain, high blood pressure, high creatinine etc begin to occur between age 30~40. The enlarged cysts will oppress the surrounding normal nephrons thus causing renal function decline.
At present, there is no cure for PKD at all. Approximately 50% of the patients will develop Renal Failure by age 60 and have to require dialysis or kidney transplant.
However, if the patients can receive proper treatment as early as possible, they will be able to stop renal function decline and avoid the destiny of Renal Failure.
Therapy for Solitary Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a common genetic kidney disease which is commonly featured by numerous cysts on both kidneys. In rare case, the cysts may only grow on one kidney. However, in many cases of Solitary Polycystic Kidney Disease, the cysts will spread to the healthy kidney in several years later. Solitary Polycystic Kidney Disease is just an early stage of PKD. Therefore, you should take the best opportunity to treat Solitary Polycystic Kidney Disease as early as possible.
How to treat Solitary Polycystic Kidney Disease?
As the disease is in its early stage, if the patients can receive proper treatment, the left kidney will not be involved in the future.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is commonly applied to treat Solitary Polycystic Kidney Disease and has showed an effective treatment effect. It is an innovative application of traditional Chinese medicine and is free of trauma and side effects.
The fine medicine powder in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can permeate into the kidney lesions directly with the help of physiotherapy instrument. The medicine can dilate renal arteries and increase blood supply to kidneys so as to relieve the renal ischemia and anoxia caused by cysts oppression. In this way, it can stop the further kidney damage.
In addition, medicine in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can change the epithelial cells of the cysts and improve their reabsorption ability. As a result, the cystic fluid will be reabsorbed gradually by the epithelial cells and the cysts will become smaller.
Lower High Serum Creatinine Level in PKD
Why patients with PKD suffer from high serum creatinine level?
Cysts refer to pounches which do not connect with the outside. With age, more and more cystic fluid will secreted by lining cells of cysts. However, there is no draining channel. As a result, more and more cystic fluid will accumulate in cysts thus causing cysts enlargement. The enlarged cysts will oppress the surrounding healthy nephrons. Finally, the nephrons will be as hard as stones and can not allow blood to pass through. As a result, the metabolic wastes including creatinine will build in blood thus resulting in high serum creatinine level.
How to lower high serum creatinine level in PKD naturally?
As the high serum creatinine level is caused by kidney impairment, the therapy should focuses on restoring the impaired nephrons and shrinking the enlarged cysts.
Here the combination therapy: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Stem Cell Therapy is recommended to the patients.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovative therapy of traditional Chinese medicines. The main components are herbs so the therapy is free of side effects. The medicines can change the function of the lining cells and make the cystic fluid be absorbed. As a result, the cysts will become smaller gradually.
Stem cells are considered as master cells. In right condition, they are capable of differentiating new types of cells.
How to Lower High Creatinine Level Caused by Multiple Kidney Cysts
How to lower high creatinine level becomes one of the uppermost concerns for people with Multiple Kidney Cysts.
Primarily, it is essential to know why high creatinine level occurs in Multiple Kidney Cysts.
As mentioned above, Multiple Kidney Cysts are fluid-filled sacs. If left untreated, more and more cystic fluid will be produced by lining cells of cysts, but there is no way out for the fluid at all. Hence, the cysts will enlarge continuously. The cysts oppress the surrounding healthy nephrons thus resulting in renal ischemia and anoxia. If the kidney tissues and cells can not get sufficient blood and oxgen supply, it will initiate renal fibrosis thus resulting in kidney function decline. Afterwards, the kidneys are not able to filter metabolic wastes such as creatinine, blood urine nitrogen etc. As a result, the creatinine level will become higher.
Then, how to lower high creatinine level in Multiple Kidney Cysts?
The patients should be clear that lowering creatinine level is not the primary treatment goal. As it is the result of impaired kidneys, the therapy they choose should primarily focuses on restoring the impaired kidneys and eliminating the big cysts.
At present, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the preferable option for the patients. It is a natural herbal therapy free of adverse effects completely.
On one hand, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can transform the structure and function of epithelial cells and make them reabsorb cystic fluid back instead of producing cystic fluid.
Meanwhile, it can dilate blood vessels thus increasing blood supply to impaired nephrons. By this, it can inhibit the progression of renal fibrosis and kidney function decline. Moreover, it can boost the excretion of the metabolic wastes such as creatinine, blood urine nitrogen etc by improving blood circulation.
Progressive Deterioration in Kidney Function
PKD includes Autosomal Dominant PKD and recessive trait. The course and treatment of the disease will be discussed here.
Course
Autosomal PKD is caused by mutations of PKD1 on chromosome 16 or PKD2 on chromosome 4. PKD1 is more common,accounting for approximately 85% of Autosomal PKD.
In early decades of years, the patients do not present with symptoms or discomforts at all when the cysts are small. Generally, the disease is detected out in tests for another problem by accident. Most of the patients begin to develop symptoms like high blood pressure, back or flank pain,bleeding in urine by age 30~40.
With age, more and more cystic fluid is secreted by the epithelial cells on cyst wall, but there is no a channel for the fluid to drain out. Consequently, the cysts will become larger and larger, thus squeezing the surrounding healthy nephrons and take more and more normal kidney tissues. Eventually, Autosomal Dominant PKD end up with Renal Failure. It is reported that more than 50% of the patients develop Renal Failure by age 60 and have to rely on dialysis or kidney transplant to sustain life.
Treatment
Although there is no a cure for Autosomal Dominant PKD is not available, a proper treatment can stop renal function decline and prolong life span.
Conventionally, the treatments only focus on controlling of the symptoms of Autosomal Dominant PKD. The patients are prescribed with painkillers to relieve pain and medications to control blood pressure. After many years, when the kidneys fail, people with End Stage Renal Failure must seek one of two options for replacing kidney function:dialysis or transplantation.

Management of Kidney Cyst Pain In Polycystic Kidney Disease
Kidney cysts pain makes many PKD patients suffered a lot. Here is the management suggestion of kidney cyst pain in Polycystic Kidney Disease for your information.
Find the cause of cyst pain
The cyst pain causes are various, such as infection cyst bleeding and cyst expansion etc. Once your doctor has determined what is causing your discomfort, treatment options can be discussed.
Treat underlying infections
Kidney cysts sufferers are more prone to suffer kidney, bladder and urinary tract infections. In order to treat pain associated with these infections, it is important to visit your doctor who will prescribe antibiotics to get rid of the infection. Once the underlying infection has been treated, pain should decrease.
Surgery
If necessary, surgery can be ordered to drain cysts. A surgeon may elect to surgically remove larger cysts or drain existing cysts if they are too numerous for complete removal.
Change your lifestyles
Various life habits may increase the risk of kidney cyst pain, such as smoking, much intake of high protein, high salt, high phosphorus foods etc. In addition, shortness of exercising and high blood pressure also are dangerous factors for kidney cyst pain.
