Overview of Polycystic Kidney Disease
As a common hereditary kidney disease, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is
characterized by clusters of fluid-filled sacs located in the kidneys and the
cysts will enlarge progressively and if no effective treatments are received, it
will in the end develop into the end-stage renal failure and severely affect the
patients normal life and life span.
Symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease
Usually at the early stage of the disease, the cysts are relatively small and
they do not cause substantial damages to the kidneys, so it is easy to be
neglected by the patients and the doctors. However the cysts will experience a
rapid growth in 30 to 40 years old and the kidney functions will have a sharp
fall and in some cases it has already been in the stage of renal failure when
the patients have obvious signs and symptoms.How to Shrink the Cyst With Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD)
The most common symptoms of PKD are pains and headache. Other symptoms
include frequent urinary tract infections, blood urine, protein urine, high
blood pressure, kidney stones, liver cysts, pancreatic cysts, abnormal heart
valves, aneurysms and diverticulosis. When PKD patients experience headache, the
dull pains can be temporary or persistent, the pains can be mild or severe.
Causes of headache in PKD Available Treatment Options for Polycytic Kidney Disease
The headache(Proper Medicines for Treating Hypertension in PKD) may be caused
by the high blood pressure. Since the long time oppression of the multiple cysts
on the renal tissues and the states of hypoxia and ischemia in the kidneys will
cause high blood pressure which will cause headache. Another possible reason is
the aneurysms-blood vessels in the brain. These aneurysms could rupture which
will cause severe consequences. How to Shrink Cysts for PKD Patients
Treatment and measures to take for headache
To bring the headache under control, first, patients should take it easy and
do not worry that much. Depression and worries have no use for the disease
except the aggravation of the disease. Chinese Medicine Treatment for Enlarged Kidney Due to PKD
Second, PKD patients need to take positive measures to treat high blood
pressure and bring the blood pressure in the normal range because the high blood
pressure will cause many other symptoms and complications and further damage the
kidneys.
Third, if the headache is different from the usual headache, it is
recommended that the patients go to the hospital to do related tests to rule out
the possibility of aneurysms. In case of aneurysms, timey measures and
treatments should be taken as soon as possible so as to avoid undesired
consequences.
