Therapy to Inhibit Growth of Polycystic Kidney Disease


Polycystic kidney disease is a kind of genetic disease, and is a hereditary tubular epithelial cell disease. The mechanism is like this: because of autosomal dominant heredity, tubular epithelial cells turn to cystic wall epithelial cells which secrete cystic fluid continuously. Consequently, cysts grow bigger and bigger, followed by abnormal kidney structure. And tubule’s filtering barrier function, concentration, dilution, reabsorption, and regulation are lost gradually, as a result, there is protein and occult blood in patient’s urine.
Well, obviously, the way to treat this disease is to inhibit growth of the cysts. We mainly combine both western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine to inhibit growth of kidney cysts. The feature of this therapy is (1) reduce secretion of cystic fluid. This therapy can inactivate the cystic epithelial cells to stop it from secreting more cystic fluid, duly stopping the growth of cysts. (2) help discharge of cystic fluid. This therapy can improve the permeability of cyst wall so that cystic fluid can be permeated into blood circulation and be discharged out with urine.

Above all, till now, there isn’t any western therapy that concentrate on inhibiting growth of kidney cysts except traditional Chinese medicine. More details, please refer to “http://www.bjkidney.com/pkd-treatment/163.html
