How To Treat PKD With Chinese Medicine


Polycystic kidney disease causes many cysts (fluid-filled sacs) to develop in the kidneys. The most common type is an inherited condition called autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). With ADPKD, problems commonly do not develop until the age of 30-50, with some people never developing any problems. The two common problems that develop are high blood pressure and kidney failure. About half of people with ADPKD develop kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant by the age of 60.
Polycystic kidney disease is a condition where many cysts develop in the kidneys. The cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and develop from some of the kidney tubules.
ADPKD affects about 1 in 800 people in the UK. Men and women are equally affected. It is a hereditary condition with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Briefly, this means that you have a gene that is faulty and each child that you have has a 50:50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene and also developing the condition. The faulty gene of ADPKD causes a problem in the membrane (wall) of cells in certain parts of the body, in particular certain kidney cells. The fault in the cells leads to the development of cysts.
In fact, with ADPKD, two faulty genes have been identified that can cause the condition. Therefore, ADPKD is divided into two subtypes - ADPKD I (about 17 in 20 cases), ADPKD 2 (about 3 in 20 cases). These are two distinct genetic disorders, but result in the same problem of causing polycystic kidneys. However, as a general rule, the severity of the condition tends to be worse with ADPKD I compared with ADPKD 2. There is possibly a third faulty gene that accounts for a small number of cases - but this is uncertain.
Due to oral medicines have side effects on most organs, such as stomach, liver, intestines and so on, Chinese medicine is invented as a external therapy. Patients only need lie on the two medicine bags for 45 minutes, then can they enjoy the massage of medicines on the kidney position. Comparing with surgery, Chinese Medicine Funeng therapy does not need cut, anesthsia and some oral medicines.
There are two main functions of Chinese Medicine in treating Polycystic Kidney Disease.
First of all , Chinese Medicine can expand the blood vessels on the face of cysts, accelerate the blood circulation, promote the permeability of cyst wall, then the sac liquid can flow out through the cyst wall with the blood circulation. In this way, cysts will be narrowed. However, how to prevent the appearance of new cysts?
Chinese Medicine has functions in repairing damaged kidneys, thus recovering kidney functions. After kidney functions have been improved, the toxins, excessive fluid and sac liquid will be eliminated with the urine. So, we can prevent the sac liquid flow into cysts, thus preventing the appearing of new cysts and the enlargement of small cysts as well.
