How to treat polycystic kidney disease with dialysis

Many friends don’t know much about polycystic kidney disease and dialysis. Generally, the main cause is genetics, and patients usually experience such symptoms after middle age. Moreover, patients with polycystic kidney disease are also prone to polycystic liver disease, so we must be cautious in its treatment measures. So what is the best way to treat polycystic kidney disease with dialysis? Let’s take a brief look at it!

1. General treatment: In general, after the patient is diagnosed with polycystic liver and polycystic kidney, the first thing to do is to maintain an optimistic attitude. If it has not yet affected the patient's normal life, he or she should be careful not to eat too much salty, spicy and other irritating foods, keep a regular work and rest time, and keep a stable and optimistic mood. If it has affected the patient's normal life, he or she should pay attention to the above points and receive treatment, and the sooner the better. Otherwise, it will be too late if it develops into renal failure and uremia.

2. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine: Currently, traditional Chinese medicine adopts conservative treatment (taking traditional Chinese medicine) in the treatment of polycystic liver and polycystic kidney, and the effect is very good. Traditional Chinese medicine adopts a holistic concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment, believing that polycystic kidney disease is the result of the combined effects of external and internal factors. Through stepped diversion, the cyst fluid is gradually discharged to achieve the goal of gradually shrinking the cyst.

3. Cyst unroofing and decompression surgery: This surgery reduces the pressure of the cyst on the renal parenchyma, protects most of the remaining renal units from squeezing and further damage, improves renal ischemia, restores some renal function units, and delays the progression of the disease.

4. Treatment of hematuria: When hematuria occurs, in addition to identifying the cause and providing treatment as soon as possible, you should reduce activity or rest in bed. For patients who are already on dialysis or about to undergo dialysis and have recurrent severe and uncontrollable hematuria, transcatheter renal artery embolization may be considered.

Dietary considerations for patients with polycystic liver and polycystic kidney disease:

1. Patients with polycystic liver and polycystic kidney should appropriately control their blood pressure. Hypertension is a risk factor for the progression of polycystic kidney disease.

Through the introduction above, I believe everyone has a detailed understanding of it. You must pay more attention to it in daily life, otherwise many problems will easily arise. Patients with hypertension also need to prevent this disease in a timely manner in their daily lives, because it is also a very important factor leading to this type of disease.
