What disease is polycystic kidney?

Polycystic kidney is a congenital anomaly, mostly bilateral multiple cysts. Adults develop slowly, some people are asymptomatic, and there is no knocking pain in the kidney area, which is only found during physical examination or after autopsy. Most adults only have symptoms when they are 35-45 years old. Symptoms may depend on the size and number of cysts, the degree of compression of renal tissue and the presence or absence of complications. Most infants with polycystic kidney disease die within one week after birth. Adult clinical symptoms are often manifested as low back pain, hematuria, proteinuria, nocturia, hypertension and heart failure, which may be complicated with urinary tract infection, stones, obstruction and retroperitoneal bleeding, and a few are malignant. Cysts can be large or small, from 0. 1 cm to huge. It has been reported that when 3600 ml of fluid is pumped out from the cyst, the kidney is in the shape of a bee cyst, and the cysts communicate with each other, which oppresses the renal parenchyma and gradually leads to fibrosis, resulting in hematuria due to increased pressure in the cyst cavity or infection of the cyst fluid. When renal function is not complete, uremia may occur.

treat cordially

If a single renal cyst is larger than 3 cm and clinical symptoms have appeared, surgery, puncture, drainage and injection of sclerosing agent can be considered. You can also use the method of combining traditional Chinese and western medicine to treat the kidney, so that the characteristic Chinese medicine can improve the blood circulation around the cyst through three processes: promoting blood circulation, dredging collaterals, removing blood stasis, and repairing and regenerating, and fundamentally treat the kidney, so that the liquid in the cyst is gradually discharged with urine, reducing the pressure in the cyst and the oppression and damage of the cyst to the surrounding tissues, effectively controlling the increase of the cyst, shrinking the large cyst and stopping the small cyst from growing. Prevent recurrence and achieve clinical improvement.

Polycystic kidney is a benign disease in clinic. Unless a few patients are complicated with renal failure, the cysts of these patients develop slowly and have mild symptoms. As long as B-ultrasound is done once every six months to one year to observe the changes of cyst size and urine routine, it is necessary to take blood tests to detect the changes of renal function and avoid strong physical labor. The health and life span of patients with polycystic kidney disease are not affected by cysts.

Therefore, when polycystic kidney disease appears, the main treatment purpose is to prevent complications and preserve renal function. Patients with polycystic kidney disease should avoid strenuous exercise and drink water properly. There is no need for special treatment for patients with asymptomatic, no complications and cysts below 3 cm.
