It is so scared for the cysts covering on the kidney of the PKD patients,
which can decline the kidney function and the patients may lose their lives
because of the cysts. so it is necessary for the PKD patients to slow down the
growth of the cysts.
Polycystic Kidney Disease affects kidney tissue by changing the basic
structure filling kidneys with multiples of cysts. Cystic cells replace normal
functioning kidney tissue. The cystic kidney cells die and are not capable of
being replaced. Eventually for some, polycystic kidneys can start a path toward
decreased kidney functioning, eventually culminating with dialysis and/or organ
transplant.
However, polycystic Liver cells can regenerate new liver cysts. This
regeneration produces an expansive liver. Both conditions are inherited, passed
within families through the genes. By maintaining the integrity of ones own
personal DNA, this can squelch the second hit mechanism that causes an increase
in cyst numbers and symptoms.
40% PKD'rs never require dialysis or transplant. Many of us are striving to
be included with these healthy individuals. Among our personal choices, are
which foods do we eat? Do we smoke? Do we exercise? Do we drink sufficient
water? Some have been successful by adjusting these items.
We can modify our exposure to chemicals and kidney toxins. We can adjust how
much exercise we do. We can self monitor and record blood pressure readings. We
can maintain a running record of past blood pressure readings. We can decide how
much water to drink. We can choose to eat foods low in salt. We can adjust our
diet so we eat more alkaline plant based foods. We can find the means to lower
our stress, enhance relaxation, and increase the blood flow to our kidneys.
With much guided attention from our personal physicians to these many
details, we can exert some influence in maintaining health especially the health
of polycystic kidneys. This can all begin to incline us toward the lucky 40% of
PKD'rs who have healthy PKD polycystic kidneys throughout their lifetime.
We are unable to influence certain things in our lives. We cannot decide
which gene we inherited: PKD2, or the more common PKD1 gene, a more aggressive
form with an earlier onset of symptoms.
In order to treat the PKD, our hospital has developed the Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotehrapy which is based on the Chinese medical therapies. you can
send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com to know them.
