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.

Stem Cell Transplant for Kidney Cyst with 4.6 cm
If your kidney functions have been damaged by cyst with size 4.6cm, you can have a try about Stem Cell Transplant to recover kidney function. Otherwise, your cyst may push you in dialysis or kidney transplant.
Stem Cell Transplant is a medical treatment which is mainly adopted to treat different kinds of refractory diseases such as tumor, cancer and kidney diseases, including Kidney Cyst with size 4.6cm. Usually, not all the people with Kidney Cyst need to receive treatment, only these who cysts have caused kidney damages need to receive Stem Cell Transplant to recover kidney function.
Cyst with size 4.6cm not always causes kidney damages, and this depends on the exact location of the cyst. If the cyst grows inside the kidney, it will oppress the surrounding renal intrinsic cells and renal tissues and this makes kidney damages easily. Meanwhile, it also can cause a series of symptoms such as severe pain in the location of kidney, enlargement of abdomen and frequently fatigue. All these symptoms are due to enlarged cyst. Besides, as more and more renal tissues and renal intrinsic cells are damaged, kidney functions decrease therewith and under such a circumstance, receiving Stem Cell Transplant to recover kidney functions is very important, otherwise, when kidney functions will be totally lose, which needs sufferers to do dialysis or kidney transplant.
Stem Cell Transplant is effective in recovering kidney functions. Stem Cells are a group of original cells which have powerful differentiation function, homing ability and self-replication function. For people with impaired kidney function caused by kidney cyst with size 4.6cm, they can cultivate these stem cells and then inject them into body. In this method, these stem cells can differentiate into corresponding functional cells to replace the dead renal intrinsic cells to display kidney function. When there are more and more renal intrinsic cells display functions, kidney functions will become more and more powerful and consequently, patients get recovery.
Not all the people with Kidney Cyst in size 4.6cm need to receive treatment, but if your cyst has caused symptoms and kidney damages, receiving Stem Cell Transplant will become necessary for even urgent.

How To Treat 3.2*2.7 Cyst On Kidney With Chinese Herbs
As usuall,in many countries,they have nothing to do with the cysts,if the cysts not too large they just leave them alone and take medicine to reduce the pain.If they are a little big then do the surgery,but the surgery can damaged the kidney and the large cysts have influnted the kidney function .
Now her size is 3.2*2.7,which is a little big,and it can opress the kidney enoughly now,when it grow to 4 cm or more large,the function of kidney will be damaged.And many complications will be occur,such as the hypertension ,kidney stone etc.So we suggest she should take the treatment now,so now is the key time,if can control the cysts grow and shrink them so the discomfort will disappear and avoid the degrade of the kidney function.But when it change too big,then the illness will not just the cysts but also the renal insufficiency and other complications.
Our treatment not the surgey or the oral-medicine which is a conservative treatment and with high effective.
Micro-chinese osmotherapy is smash the active ingredients of drugs,by the mean of infiltration device and penetrating agent,let the active ingredient enter into the disease point from body external directly with the help of meridian conduction and skin permeate,it is high effect because of the high targeting,this way can avoid the side effect of oral medicaine and no pain ,no wound.And the chinese medicine all choose from the natural herb,so it is vey safe.
Chinese medicine will improve the poor blood and oxygen then make the blood circulation around the cyst wall successful ,the cyst fluid will flow away along with the blood circulation.What is more, Chinese medicine will restrain the epithelial cell of cysts secrete the fluid, because it can make the epithelial cell lose the inactivation,so the cysts can not develop to large again .At the same time ,the chinese medicine have the function of anti-inflammation ,it can help to repair the damaged kidney.
When the cyst do not grow any longer,the cysts shrink more and more slowly as the time,then it can not develop to the kidney failure,so she can far away from the kidney failure,and keep the normal life.

How To Treat Cyst On Kidney Grown With PKD Patients
PKD means you have many cysts grow on your kidneys. With age become old, the kidney cysts will become bigger, and then press the kidney tissues and damage the kidney function. At that time, patients will present the symptoms like foam in urine, hematuria, dizziness, swelling, backpain, fatigue etc. With the kidney cysts become big enough, the patients will secrete the cystic liquid which is very easy to get infection in the kidneys. The final result of PKD is kidney failure.
Kidneys are very different from other human organs, the clinical symptoms always lag behind the pathological damage. For example, some patients with PKD present backpain, fatigue, high blood pressure, which means the kidneys have already get damaged. But for other patients, they don't have any discomfort feelings, when they go to the hospital for checking, they are diagnosed as the kidney failure. Most people will shocked by this result. Therefore, if the patient is in the stage of CKD3( Chronic Kidney Disease 3), the patient should receive the CKD4 treatment to protect the kidneys and delay the development of kidney disease.
When the patient become old, the kidney cysts also grow with the age. When the kidney cysts become bigger and bigger, they not only press some kidney tissues, but also the biggest kidney cyst will secrete cystic liquid which is very easy to get infection in the kidneys, and cause the complications of PKD.
Normally, Western medicine will follow these steps to treat polycystic kidney: 1) wait the cysts become enough big. 2.) 95% anhydrous alcohol is inputted into renal cysts for solidifying capillary, and then liquid can't go into renal cysts.3) abstract the cystic liquid from renal cyst-----this operation may be called puncture. Please notice that these measures will damage the kidney, especially for the nephron which is the basic part of kidney. At present, Western Medicine just treat the symptoms of kidney, they can't treat the disease from the root, because surgery not only damage the kidney function, but also the kidney cysts will grow after the surgery.

Parapelvic Cyst In Left Kidney
Parapelvic cysts of the kidneys are simple renal cysts, which are adjacent to the renal pelvis or the renal sinus.
A Parapelvic Cyst is a little closed pouch which can be filled with fluid and is found in the kidney. They form in the sinus section of the kidney and it is yet to be established why these cysts form.
Renal cysts have been identified more frequently since CT and sonography have become common imaging methods. Parapelvic cysts are not true renal cysts but may be lymphatic in origin or develop from embryologic rests . Unlike perinephric cysts which may be the result of urine extravasation, parapelvic cysts do not communicate with the collecting system and, therefore, do not fill with contrast material during excretory urography or contrastenhanced CT. Parapelvic cysts are usually asymptomatic and require no therapy, but may lead to hypertension, hematuria, or hydronephrosis or may become secondarily infected .

3. We suggest you have low-sat diet, quit smoking and drinking, don't eat the spicy food, fast food, greasy food, stimulating food, don't stay up all night, stick to the balance between work and rest, don't catch a cold, because cold is very easy to get infection in the kidneys.
We don't suggest you take the beans, because this food contain more protein, which will increase the burden of glomeruli.
And not all the fruit and vegetables should be taken by you, because some fruits and vegetables contains more potassium, sodium etc, all the food should according to your illness condition.

Natural Treatment For Kidney Cyst
As people get older, sacs filled with fluid can form in the kidneys. These sacs are called "cysts." They are usually small oval or round thin-walled sacs with watery fluid in them.
Kidney cysts are almost always benign (not cancer). Usually, the cysts don't cause any problems. In fact, people can go through life without even knowing that they have them.
Some people have kidney cysts caused by an inherited disease called polycystic kidney disease (PKD). This disease can cause symptoms such as high blood pressure, pain in the back and side, blood in the urine or frequent kidney infections. Not all people who have PKD will experience these symptoms.
Natural Treatment For Kidney Cyst
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy mainly plays two roles in treating Renal cyst:
Expand the blood vessels on the walls of blood vessels around the cyst, speed up the blood circulation of cyst walls, thus enhancing the permeability of the cyst walls. Decline the internal pressure in the blood vessels of the cyst walls, reverse the differential pressure —the pressure in the blood vessels is higher than the pressure in the cyst. Speed up the continuous reabsorption of the moisture from the cyst fluid to the blood vessel.
The active substances of the Micro-Chinese Medicine restrain the continuous secretion of the epithelial cells on the cyst walls, stop the continuing enlargement of the cyst and the blood vessels of cyst walls. The above treatment improved the condition of circulation disorder of walls of blood vessels and the cysts., softened the cyst walls, enhanced the permeability of the cyst walls to the outside and restrained the secretion function of the cells of cyst walls.

Complex Renal Cysts Treatment
Complex renal cysts manifest in many disorders and diseases. These incidences include polycystic kidney disease, medullary sponge kidney and medullary cystic disorder. They also appear in the diseases such as cysts of the renal sinus (or peripelvic lymphangiectasia) and acquired cystic kidney disease. They are also found in patients with chronic kidney failure and multilocular cysts, which is also referred to as multilocular cystic nephroma. These cysts may also be observed in disorders such as multicystic dysplastic kidney and pyelocalyceal cysts. Few other disorders, which are characterized by the presence of these cysts are nephronophthisis and von Hippel-Lindau disease.
Laparoscopic Cyst Removal
If the position of the cyst makes it difficult to remove, the physician may recommend a laparoscopic procedure. While using a video monitor to guide progress, the physician makes several incisions through the skin with tools that are placed near the cyst, explains the American Academy of Family Physicians. The tools are used to drain fluid from the cyst. Subsequently, the physician burns or cuts away the walls of the cyst. This procedure usually requires an overnight stay in the hospital.
Antibiotic Therapy
If the patient complains of fever, pain in the back, abdominal pain or blood in the urine, the doctor may recommend antibiotics to treat the infected cyst. Antibiotic medications work by killing bacteria, which allows the body to heal and overcome the infection. As with most antibiotic medicines, the patient must complete the full treatment cycle to overcome the infection.
Periodic Checkups
Treatment is usually not necessary if imaging tests depict a simple cyst and the patient exhibits no symptoms. Instead of treatment, the doctor will advise a computed tomography scan or ultrasound to periodically examine if the kidney cyst enlarges or develops into a complex cyst, according to the Kidney Cancer Institute. Treatment may be suggested at a later date if the kidney enlarges or if symptoms occur.
Chinese Medicine
Expand the blood vessels on the walls of blood vessels around the cyst, speed up the blood circulation of cyst walls, thus enhancing the permeability of the cyst walls. Decline the internal pressure in the blood vessels of the cyst walls, reverse the differential pressure —the pressure in the blood vessels is higher than the pressure in the cyst. Speed up the continuous reabsorption of the moisture from the cyst fluid to the blood vessel.

How To Remove Kidney Cyst
A kidney cyst is a pocket of fluid pouching out of the kidney. Cystic enlargement of the kidney can cause abdominal discomfort, pain and sometimes high blood pressure. For a kidney cyst that is large enough to cause you pain and abdominal discomfort, three minimally invasive treatment options are available at the Urology Academic Practice.
To treat moderately sized kidney cysts, doctors often inject you with a long needle that drains the cysts. With the aid of ultrasound images, the doctor locates the cyst and administers the injection through your skin. After the needle drains it of fluid, the doctor fills it with an alcohol-based solution to harden the cyst and prevent future flare-ups. Although the needle procedure may seem gruesome, risks are minimal and you often do not spend the night in the hospital.
Larger kidney cysts may require surgery. Surgeries vary depending on the location of the cysts. For large cysts at the back of the kidney, your doctor may recommend a percutaneous kidney surgery. With an endoscope (a camera that allows the doctor to peer into the body), your surgeon will open the cyst and remove a portion of it for proper draining and healing. Although this procedure offers few risks, doctors usually want their patients to stay in the hospital overnight after receiving percutaneous kidney surgeries.
You may have kidney cysts that will go away by themselves or you may have a more serious kidney condition, but at least if your doctor sends you for a scan, you will be able to put your mind at rest. You may require further treatment; you may not, but at least you will know one way or the other.

Kidney Cyst Pain Treatment
Kidney pain is confused with back pain or stomach pain. This is because the pain caused due to these reasons often radiates to the back and the groin. People, therefore, often ignore kidney pain. It is essential to note that kidney pain is usually accompanied with other symptoms.
Surgery is recommended for patients whose cysts are of considerable size. Once removed, the pain stops. According to Cedars-Sinai Health System, there are three forms of surgery offered for kidney cysts: laparoscopy and cyst removal, percutaneous kidney surgery and retrograde inrarenal surgery.
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.
CT scans are used to monitor kidney cysts that are small and do not cause any pain. Your doctor may not recommend treatment unless you experience any symptoms from the cysts.

What Is Cortical Cyst In Left Kidney
Cortical cyst is a rather unusual location in the left kidney- it occupies a central part (the middle third) of the kidney extending from the outer cortex to the renal pelvis. This appearance can mimic a calyceal diverticulum or caliectasis.Cortical Cyst is very common and occurs in about 50% of people over the age of 50. Renal cysts account for 60-65% of all renal masses. Many people have them and it is usually benign. A cyst is defined as a membranous sac containng fluid. A simple renal cyst is a classification given to renal cysts that "appear round or oval... without infections, calcifications, septations or divisions of its walls.
The simple renal cortical cyst or parapelvic cyst is discovered incidentally so it's important to differentiate it from a true renal neoplasm. Renal cysts account for 60-65% of all renal masses. Large cortical cysts can show up as a palpable flank mass and parapelvic cysts can be detected producing extrinsic compression or mass effect on the collecting system on an intravenous pyelography (IVP) exam. Renal cysts are rarely associated with conditions like tuberous sclerosis, von Hippel-Lindau disease, neurofibromatosis, or Caroli's disease. In most of these cases, the systemic condition already exists prior to the discovery of the renal cysts. Atypical renal cell carcinomas can develop as a complex cystic mass, although its appearance on US, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is easily differentiated from a simple cyst.

Causes and Symptoms Of Swollen Kidney
What Is Swollen Kidney
A swollen kidney is most commonly caused by some type of blockage. This can include kidney stones or a calcification of the kidney. A swollen kidney might be the result of chronic kidney disease. The people who are most often affected with a swollen kidney include those who suffer from diabetes, poor nutrition, obesity, or high blood pressure. Kidney swelling can sometimes be controlled with certain types of medications but it is important to see a urologist.
Causes of Swollen Kidney
A genetic disorder known as polycystic kidney disease causes multiple cysts to grow in the kidneys. The cysts destroy normal kidney tissue, leading to enlargement of the kidneys. The Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center explains that this condition is a congenital defect in the chromosomes, which has a 50 percent risk of being passed to offspring when present in one parent. Adults with one dominant polycystic kidney gene experience onset of symptoms after 30 years of age. Symptoms include pressure in the abdomen from swollen kidneys, back pain and fatigue.
Hydronephrosis is distention or swelling of the kidneys due to obstructions between the ureter and renal pelvis. Merck Manuals Online Medical Library notes that this condition can result from a blood clot or stones in the ureter. Interstitial nephritis is inflammation of the kidneys that may be temporary or chronic, depending on the cause.
Symptoms Of Swollen Kidney
The symptoms of kidney diseases like swollen kidneyetc. become more obvious with the aggravation of the problem. The process of urinating becomes problematic as some times it becomes difficult to urinate and severally you can observe blood or dark color in the urine. Severally functioning of kidney get adversely effected as it becomes unable to expel the waste water of the body after collecting it. This increases the swelling in various other parts of the body including eyes, foot, testicles and kidneys due to increase in water content that can not be removed by them.
Extreme fatigue, vomiting, nausea, itchy skin, shortness of breath and anemia are some of the symptoms that are usually observed among the patients of last stage nearing to kidney failure. Some people observe lack of concentration in doing their routine tasks due to the symptoms ofkidney problems which make them dizzy and confused in their usual activities. Some people observe cramping in their muscles, fragile bones, headaches and pain in lower back with the gradual increase in kidney problem. extensive medical treatment at this stage becomes most essential as leaving it untreated can collapse the working of kidneys which can be termed as kidney failure which can not be reverted in any condition as the internal organ get damaged and can ultimately cause death to the patient.

Kidney Cysts, Creatinine 0.9, Treatment and Suggestions
Illness description: My kidneys are enlarged in size and there are many cysts of varying sizes. I took the ultrasound and there is no calculi or calcification seen. The right kidney measures 127*66mm and left kidney measures 149*73mm. My creatinine is now 0.9.
Illness analysis: I have checked your test report, for your illness condition. generally speaking there are two treatments for kidney cyst. One is surgery. The other is herbal medicines( not tablet, not for oral taking, it is a kind of external application)
For your illness condition, i do not suggest you chose surgery treatment, because it only can reduce and remove the cyst and can't solve the root problem so that can not treat the disease from the root.
After the big cyst removed with surgery the new one will grow in a fast speed, and the patient have to do surgery once more to remove the second one, which will lead to
vicious cycle.
As for your creatinine level, it is still in the normal range which means that your kidneys still function well and you are in the very early stage of the disease.
The following suggestion is help to control your cyst, hope my suggestion can help you.
1. Pickle needs to be avoided because excessive salt will lead to edema and much more damages on kidneys.
2. Spicy food needs to be avoided, including chilli, alcohol, shrimp, crab, etc. Taking the alcohol for instance, the alcohol has great stimulation to kidneys and will stimulate the action of protein so as to promote the growth of cysts.
3. Animal viscera needs to be avoided. Since there are much toxins left in the viscera especially the liver of animal, the disease condition of the sufferers will be aggravated thereby if they eat viscera with toxins.
4. Fermented food and food with too much protein need to be eaten as less as possible.
5. Coffee and chocolate need to be avoided as well.

How Does Herbal Medicine Treat Renal Cysts in Kidneys
Illness description: I am now 45 years old with hyspertension, and hyperthyroidism. I have found cysts in my kidneys and currently I take the following medications: buspirone
5mg a day, enalapril 5mg q d, ranitidine 75mg q d, atenolol 25mg q d, topirimate 200mg q d, clonazepam .5mg q d, ariprizole 25mg q d, levosynthroid .1mg q d. I simply have chronic flank pain in the right side and sometimes in the left side.
I did have one pain clinic procedure where they attempted to numb the back to alleviate the pain but to no relief.
Illness analysis: In kidney disease, there are two kinds of kidney cysts: 1. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), this disease means the patient has many cysts grow on the kidneys. With the growth of the patient's age, the kidney cysts will press the kidney tissues and damage the kidney function. In the end, the patient has to receive the kidney transplant or dialysis. 2. Kidney cyst. The disease means patients have one or two or three or four cysts grow on the kidneys, also grow with the age, then press the kidney tissues, so the patient feel back pain or fatigue. The final result of Kidney Cyst is kidney failure if can't be controlled well.
Those kidney cysts will grow with your age, then press your kidney tissues and damage your kidney function. This is the reason why you have flank pain. If the kidney cysts become big enough, they will press the kidney tissues and damage the kidney function. The final result of kidney cysts is kidney failure. Therefore, early useful treatment for your kidney cysts is very important.
Herbal medicine has the curative effect for kidney disease, which can treat the kidney disease from the root. (1)Chinese Medicine is abstracted from natural herbs, without any side-effect. (2) The therapeutic mechanism of this therapy is to block the process of renal fibrosis, dilate blood vessels, promote the micro-blood circulation, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells, and remove the stasis in channels. At the same time, Chinese Medicine has the effect like anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, preventing blood viscosity and degrading extracellular matrixes. The main functions of Chinese Medicine are: block+ repair.

Kidney Cysts, Hypertension, Gout
Description of illness conditions:
I am 55 years old and stage 3 chronic kidney disease due to a few cysts in bilateral kidneys. I also have hypertension and gout for several years. I take Atenonol for controlling high blood pressure and colchicine for gout and my diet is vegatarian.
Illness analysis and suggestions
You said that you have many years hypertension and gout, so your renal damages may not only due to the cysts in the kidneys. Long term high blood pressure and gout can all damage your renal functions. Therefore it is very necessary to first control blood pressure and gout. Your stage is middle stage. Given proper treatment and right daily care, it can be well controlled.
As for these cysts on kidneys, do you have any discomforts or symptoms such as back pain, abdominal mass, blood in urine, bubble urine, etc. I recommend you to take B ultrasound to make clear the size, location and growth conditions so that more specific suggestions can be given to you.
In this case, you should pay much attention to your condition,because you still have chance to improve your kidney function by taking both TCM (traditional Chinese medicines) and some western medicine. It can help to repair the damaged kidneys. You are at 3rd stage, which means your kidney function is bettew 30% to 60%. Your kidney are damaged,so kidney function decrease. If you want to protect your present and even improve it, repairing the kidneys is necessary.
Diets for controlling high blood pressure
A serving size of whole grains is roughly one slice of bread, one ounce of dry cereal or 1/2 cup of cooked rice, pasta or cereal. Examples of whole grains well suited for the DASH diet are whole wheat bread and rolls (with visible grains), whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, brown rice, unsalted pretzels, popcorn and English muffins.
Diets for controlling gouts
Eliminate foods that are high in purines. These are typically protein-rich foods, but there are other foods and beverages that contain significant amounts of purines. Doing this helps prevent severe symptoms and may enhance the effectiveness of drug therapy. Foods to be avoided on a low-purine diet include: organ meats (liver, kidney and sweetbreads), sardines, anchovies, mackerel, canned fish, mussels, beef, pork roast, chocolate, beer, red wine and beans. Foods that offer a moderate amount of purines (eat less of these foods) include: peas, legumes, oatmeal, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms and luncheon meats.

What are the Tests and Examinations of Kidney Cysts
Kidney cyst is the general term kidney cystic mass ranging in size. It is not connected with the outsides the common renal cysts can be divided into adult polycystic kidney disease, simple renal cysts and acquired renal cysts.
Suggestion:
Laboratory tests
Urinalysis showed mostly normal. Microscopic hematuria is rare. Renal function tests are normal, unless the cyst as multiple or bilateral (rare) even if one side of the kidney surface extensive destruction of the contralateral kidney may also be due to the compensatory hypertrophy while maintaining the total renal function normal.
X-ray examination
Can be seen in the abdominal plain film often part of the kidney shadow enlargement or mass oppression. Cyst weight or position can cause the kidneys to reverse the abnormal renal axis. Sometimes striped calcification can be seen in the tumor edge. Excretory urography angiography can be diagnosed. 1 to 2 minutes after the intravenous injection of a contrast agent to radiography, visible renal vascular density increased, the cyst occupied part of the space that is not, because no blood vessels. urography continuous radiography shows mass presence of cysts around one or renal calyx or pelvis often become dented or bent, widened, flattened or lumen disappeared. oblique or lateral radiographs are also helpful in the diagnosis when the mass occupy lower pole of kidney, ureter segment will shift to the spine. kidney itself will rotate through the radiopaque sac or to see the psoas muscle. conventional urography can not effectively distinguish opaque renal parenchyma when renal tomographic X-ray photography to increase vascular renal parenchymal cysts contrast. occasionally renal tumors also relatively free of blood vessels, which is easy to be confused with the cyst. rare cases, the cyst wall tumors may also occur, Therefore, it is necessary for further identification of the diagnostic check.
CT scan
Identify renal cysts and tumors, CT is the most accurate. Cyst fluid density similar to water, and the density of the tumor and normal renal parenchyma similar after intravenous contrast agents, the renal parenchyma becomes more dense, and the cyst remains unaffected ; clear boundaries of the cyst wall and the renal parenchyma, tumor no; cyst wall is thin, but not with tumor. many ways, the identification of cysts and tumors CT is superior puncture fluid judgment.
Renal ultrasound
Ultrasound to take a non-invasive diagnostic techniques to identify renal cysts and substance of mass, a large proportion of ultrasound examination and found to comply with the image of the cyst ultrasound image monitoring can puncture the cyst and suction capsule fluid.
Isotope scan
Straight line scan shows the mass outline, but it is difficult to distinguish between a cyst or tumor. Technetium scan photography avascular mass.
In the cyst photography percutaneous cyst aspiration
When the above checks on the identification of cysts and tumors still have questions, necessary rows aspiration.
Differential Diagnosis
Basic checks
Urine check normal urine bag oppression renal parenchyma or merge sac infection, there may be a small amount of red blood cells and white blood cells in the urine.
B ultra understand the cyst number, size, wall. Renal mass can be differentiated as the preferred method of examination. Typical B-performance anechoic lesion, wall smooth, clear boundary how when imaging prompted; When the wall irregular echo should be alert to the malignant transformation; limitations echogenic wall thickening secondary infection, lesion fine echo intracystic echogenic bleeding. cysts with multilocular cysts, polycystic kidney distinguished.
Intravenous pyelogram (ivp) can show the extent of the cyst oppression renal parenchyma can identify hydronephrosis phase.
Further examination
CT B-ultrasound can not determine who rendered valuable cyst with bleeding infection malignant not homogeneous CT value increased when CT shows cyst characteristics do not have to be a cyst puncture
(1) Kidney cancer: was occupying lesions, but prone to deep, causing more obvious calyceal bending. Hematuria is common, while the cyst is not seen when the renal tumor pressure above the psoas muscle, abdominal plain chip to see less than the edge of the muscle, and the cyst is still visible. transfer evidence (such as weight loss, fatigue, touched supraclavicular lymph node enlargement, chest X-ray shows metastatic nodules), polycythemia, high calcium hyperlipidemia and accelerated ESR prompt cancer. remember the cyst wall can also occur cancerous change. renal vein cancer clogging, unclear or even not developing excretory urography. ultrasound image and CT is always the last to do differential diagnosis. angiography and renal tomography X-ray photography is rich in blood vessels in the tumor, a contrast agent-intensive "pond" cyst density unaffected. prove other diseases before, assume that the space-occupying lesions of all kidney cancer is wise.
(2) polycystic kidney disease: As shown in urography, the disease is almost always bilateral diffuse renal calyx and pelvis distorted its law has become a simple renal cysts isolated solitary. polycystic kidney disease is often associated with renal dysfunction and hypertension, renal cysts.
(3) renal carbuncle: the disease is rare.

Multiple Cysts on Right Kidney, Diabetes, Diets and Treatments
Question: I was told by my doctor that I have multiple cysts in kidney, but the cysts are only found in right kidney and the largest one is 28mm. I also have a cyst on my liver. What makes the condition even more complex is that I became diabetes about 2 years ago. Will I develop kidney failure and how to prevent that?
Answer: your illness condition is not very severe since the cyst is not very large and it is in the early stage, so do not worry. With proper and effective preventions and treatments, the illness conditions can be brought under control and you can just live a normal life.
Since you have diabetes which makes the condition a little bit complex, if you suffer from high blood sugar, you need first to control and maintain blood sugar within safe and stable level. Here are some diet suggestions for diabetic and renal patients.
Your diabetic and renal diet also should consist of non-carbohydrate high-protein foods. You can eat limited amounts of cottage cheese (which has high sodium levels, so sparingly), eggs (or a low-cholesterol substitute), fish, lean cuts of meat, poultry and seafood (without boiling in high-sodium seasonings).
Among meat and high-protein foods you should avoid are cheeses (American, cheddar and Swiss); dried beans (such as kidney, lentil, lima, pinto or soy); high-sodium meats (such as bacon, canned and luncheon meats, hot dogs, organ meats, pepperoni, salami and sausages); nuts and peanut butter.
As for treatments for shrinking these multiple cysts in right kidney, I recommend natural way---herbal medicines. It takes effects through the following ways.
First, Effective ingredients of Herbal medicines promotes the blood inflow to kidneys and enhance the flow speed of blood circulation. By this, the Suction of blood flow will be more powerful. Just imaging blood flow as a tornado, the quicker the pace of ration, the harder things can avoid its suction. Second, ingredients of TCM soften the cyst wall, and inactivate cyst wall’s secretion of liquid. Softened cyst wall paves way for easier cyst liquid filtrating out into blood capillaries, and inactivated cyst wall become incapable of secreting more cyst liquid. So, once these cysts in kidney are shrunk, they hardly have the chance for relapse.

Why Kidney Cyst is Easy to Relapse
I had a renal cyst on my left kidney aspirated it was 6.9cm and then it came back to a 5cmm and again aspirated with alcohol and now it came back to be 2cmm and can you tell me the reason why is will relapse so easily?
There are two types of kidney cysts. More common type of kidney cysts is simple cysts. These are small and thin walled sac filled with fluid. Simple kidney cysts are usually not cancerous. Simple cysts don't harm and need no treatments if there is no obvious symptom. But larger size cysts can cause pain on back, belly or sides, fever, blood in urine and increased urination. These can be treated by urologist easily.
The other type of kidney cyst is called complex cysts. These are said complex cyst because of their irregular and complex structures. These can be non cancerous and may develop to cancer. Only those complex cysts which have many thick walls with septations can develop in to cancer.
Sometimes, kidney cysts are inherited and can cause problems like blood in urine, increased urination, pain on back, belly or sides, repeated kidney infections and high blood pressure. Inherited kidney cysts are called polycystic kidney disease. These cysts can cause problems in other parts like brain, liver, intestines, pancreas, ovaries and spleen.
What are the traditional therapies for kidney cysts?
The use of antibiotics
If the patient complains of fever, pain in the back, abdominal pain or blood in the urine, the doctor may recommend antibiotics to treat the infected cyst. Antibiotic medications work by killing bacteria, which allows the body to heal and overcome the infection. As with most antibiotic medicines, the patient must complete the full treatment cycle to overcome the infection.
Surgical removal of the cysts
One option for removing a symptomatic cyst consists of puncturing the cyst and instilling alcohol inside the cyst to shrink it. This procedure is performed with local anesthesia and involves inserting a needle through the skin and into the wall of the kidney to the cyst site. The physician withdraws the fluid in the cyst and fills the empty cyst with alcohol. However the recurrent rate is quite high.
If the cyst appears difficult to remove, another option for treatment utilizes surgery for removal of the kidney cyst. The physician uses a laparoscopic procedure that requires several small incisions through which a video monitor and tools are placed in the area of the cyst. He then uses the tools to drain the fluid from the cyst. Next, the physician cuts out or burns away the walls of the cyst. It has the advantages of few injuries, quick recover and short hospitalization.
Traditional treatments for kidney cysts are mainly surgery which can help drain the cysts or remove the cysts in a short time. However these therapies only aim at removing the necrotic parts without solving the root problem---the continuous secretion of cystic fluid by the cystic epithelial cells and that is why the cysts are so easy to relapse. When the large cysts are removed by surgery, it will provide more space for the small ones to grow large.

Diagnosis for Right Kidney Cysts
A lot of kidney patients or family members are very concerned about this problem, renal cysts start the formation of cystic dilatation of the tubular wall or small prominent proliferation of renal epithelial cells, accumulate within the renal ball or epithelial fluid secretion, and tubular common wall with neighboring extracellular matrix integration, and ultimately the formation of isolated cysts. The larger cysts may change the kidney shape and compression of the surrounding tissue, causing severe ureteral obstruction, effusion, infection. Simple renal cysts are asymptomatic are generally not considered for treatment, but patients with this idea is incorrect, experts say the sooner the better for the treatment of renal cysts. Do not wait for the cyst is growing, low back pain, hematuria, hypertension, recurrent infections, urinary tract obstruction, and other symptoms go to treatment, this will increase the difficulty of healing.
1, the initial diagnosis
① urine examination normal urine, if the capsule of the oppression of the renal parenchyma or in combination with intracapsular infection, a small amount of red blood cells and white blood cells in urine.
② B ultra understand the situation of the cyst number, size, wall. Renal mass can be differentiated as the preferred screening method. Typical B-super-performance anechoic lesion, wall smooth, clear boundary should be alert to the malignant transformation; wall show irregular echo or limitations of echogenic wall thickening; secondary infection, lesion fine echo, intracystic bleeding echogenic. When imaging prompted to have multiple cysts with multilocular cysts, polycystic kidney disease should be distinguished.
③ Intravenous pyelogram (ivp) shows the oppression of the degree of renal cysts, and can be differentiated from hydronephrosis.
2, for further examination
CT, B-ultrasound can not determine those valuable cysts with hemorrhage, infection, malignancy, showing the heterogeneity of CT values increased when the CT showed the characteristics of the cyst, no further cyst puncture.
3, the diagnostic criteria
① Early renal cysts are usually asymptomatic, often in the medical B timeout is found that the cyst diameter of> 10cm, causing symptoms. Intracapsular infection bleeding of waist and abdomen pain pain worse.
② Physical examination even in the waist and abdomen to the cystic mass.
③ B extraordinary can confirm the diagnosis of suspected malignant transformation can be used for further examination of the methods listed.
④ Renal cysts and renal cell carcinoma, hydronephrosis, renal multilocular cyst, polycystic differentiated.
Diet Advice for Kidney Cyst Patients
