Firstly, avoid infection and cold. Cold and infection are the two dominant risk factors which can accelerate PKD. PKD runs to kidney failure within several years if there is no cold and infection; however, with cold and infection, it may just take several months to push us into dialysis. Therefore, avoiding cold and infection is of primary importance to slow down the progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).How Does Polycystic Kidney Disease Progress to Kidney Failure
Secondly, control Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) symptoms. Common symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) include high blood pressure, blood urine, foamy urine and back pain. Although these symptoms are caused by PKD, in return, they accelerate Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) . Therefore, controlling these symptoms is very important. In addition, in Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) , blood urine occurs usually when cysts in kidneys rupture. Hence, when blood urine appears, we need to go to hospital to check whether we need surgery.How Many Years Will PKD Develop into Kidney Failure
Thirdly, adjusting our diet. Our daily diet has close relationship with the progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) . Usually, with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) , we need to reduce protein intake and salt intake. Protein is the necessary substance of our normal life and they are kept in our body through kidneys. Ingesting too much protein means increasing renal burden, which can accelerate PKD indirectly. Besides, as ingesting too much salt can cause high blood pressure; therefore, reducing protein intake and salt intake is very necessary to slow down progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).Ways to Slow Down the Progression of PKD
Lastly, all the measures we mentioned above are helpful in slowing down the progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) , but if we do not receive effective treatment, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) runs to kidney failure finally. The only method to help us avoid dialysis is to receive effective treatment. At the moment, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the most effective treatment, through which, not only cysts in kidneys can be shrunk effectively, but also kidney functions can be increased.Chinese Herbs for PKD
Slowing down the progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) only help us delay the time we start to do dialysis. Therefore, once being diagnosed with PKD, we need to receive treatment as quickly as possible, otherwise, dialysis or kidney transplant will be needed.
