How to Treat Kidney Stone in Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Kidney stone is a common complication in Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and occurs in up to 20 percent of people with the disease. Kidney stones may cause pain or obstruct urinary tract. It is also a stimulating factor for the development of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Therefore, it is very essential to treat kidney stone effectively.

How do kidney stones form in Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is caused by the abnormal proliferation of the renal tubular epithelial cells. If uncontrolled, the cysts will enlarge gradually and oppress the renal tubule. Hence, the renal tubule can not function well to keep electrolytes balance. Afterwards, a lot of uric substances accumulate resulting in high blood uric acid level. As a result, the calcium oxalate and calcium urate deposit gradually and form stones.

As kidney stone can accelerate the growth of the cysts, it is extremely to remove the stones as early as possible. On one hand, alkalifying urine is a very important step in preventing the formation of stones. However, it can only treat the disease from its symptoms. To prevent the formation of kidney stones, improving the regulatory function of the renal tubule is a necessary step. Therefore, what should the patients firstly do is to relive the oppression to renal tubule and shrink the enlarged cysts.

Here Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is suggested to the patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). The therapeutic mechanism is as follows.
Firstly, the effective medicine ingredients can dilate blood vessels so as to improve the permeability of the cyst wall. It can improve the excretion of the cystic fluid.

Secondly, Micro-Chinese Medicine can inactivate the epithelial cells of the cyst wall. Therefore, it can decline the cystic fluid secretion from the underlying cause.

With the shrinking of the cysts, the oppression to renal tubule will diminish gradually. Once the renal tubule recovers its normal regulatory function, it will be able to inhibit the formation of the kidney stones.
