Treatment for Renal hypertension caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease

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.
