Help PKD Patients with High Blood Pressure

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.
The kidneys play a vital role in controlling blood pressure. Having ADPKD greatly increases the chance that high blood pressure will develop. About half of people with ADPKD aged 20-34 years have high blood pressure, and most people with ADPKD will develop high blood pressure at some point in their life. High blood pressure in itself does not usually cause symptoms. So, it is easy to be unaware that you have high blood pressure. However, untreated high blood pressure can cause further damage to the kidneys, and greatly increases the risk of developing heart disease and stroke. Therefore, early detection and treatment of high blood pressure are important.
High blood pressure and kidney damage can affect each other. Some western medicines can control blood pressure to some extent. If you worry about the side effects or you find your blood pressure is not controlled well, you may try Chinese herbal medicines.
As a matter of fact, the most important thing for PKD patients is to shrink the cysts and recover kidney function. In that case, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is based on Chinese herbal medicines will be the best choice for PKD patients.
Nowadays more and more PKD patients begin to get benefits from this natural treatment. As a PKD treatment, if you still have the hope to avoid dialysis and kidney transplant, then you are suggested to learn more about it. We will try our best to help you.
