Cysts are common renal abnormalities that may develop in epithelial
structures in
any tubular segment between Bowman’s capsule and the tip of the
renal papilla. AndPolycystic Kidney Disease(PKD) is a hereditary Renal Disease
that can divide into two kinds: the Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
(ADPKD) and the Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD). Arterial
hypertension develops in more than half of patients with ADPKD.
How to Shrink Cysts for PKD Patients
What causes hypertension in those patients? The exact causes are unknown, and
some studies indicate that administration of an angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitor can correct the change in the pressure-natriuresis curve. So,
abnormalities in the production of renin and angiotensin as a consequence of the
stretching of intrarenal arterioles may play a role; besides, there may also be
other causes that are really complicated to tell in detail. Whatever it is, it
is the renal cysts that cause hypertension in those patients. For theses
patients, lowering the blood pressure and shrinking or removing the cysts is the
most important thing.How to Shrink the Cyst With Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD)
When it comes to lowering the blood pressure, angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitor (ACEI), as I mentioned before, and angiotensin receptor blockers are
effective in the treatment of hypertension in patients with ADPKD. But the ACEI
may be complicated with severe renal hemorrhage and sudden renal failure in
individuals who have relatively large kidneys. Other medicines can also be used
for the purpose of lowering hypertension(high blood pressure). However, cautious
should be instructed by the doctors.How to shrink Kidney Cyst(Renal Cyst)
And treating the cysts, on the other hand, is crucial in order to control the
hypertension.Chinese Medicine Treatment for Enlarged Kidney Due to PKD
Well, in our hospital - Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is usually used to
dilate the blood vessels and to promote the blood circulation so that the
urine-like liquid or semisolid material can be reabsorbed into the blood
vessels, thus shrinking the renal cysts. And it can also inhibit further
secretion of such fluid so as to prevent the cysts from growing larger.
So renal hypertension caused by PKD really needs treatment. Different
treatments are subject to specific disease conditions. Then what is your
condition? You can send your latest test reports to us, or tell our online
experts to know the detailed medical schedule for you.
