Polycystic kidney disease can be treated by traditional Chinese medicine


Guiding you to a healthier tomorrow.
Polycystic kidney disease is a congenital genetic disease, that is, there are gene mutations, it is divided into infantile and adult type, infantile polycystic kidney disease is autosomal recessive inheritance, mainly caused by PKhd1 gene mutation on chromosome six, most infant type will die early. Adult polycystic kidney disease is autosomal dominant inheritance, mainly caused by gene mutation of chromosome 16 or chromosome 4. Drug treatment of the disease caused by gene mutation is ineffective, and there is no drug for treating this gene mutation at this stage. Therefore, polycystic kidney disease treatment has no special effect, and Western medicine has no good treatment effect. Patients with cystic kidney symptoms are treated with symptomatic supportive care, such as controlling hypertension, preventing urinary tract infections, and reducing further damage to kidney function.
