PKD is characterized by the
presence of multiple cysts (hence, "polycystic") typically in both kidneys;
however 17% of cases initially present with observable disease in one kidney,
with most cases progressing to bilateral disease in adulthood. The cysts are
numerous and are fluid-filled, resulting in massive enlargement of the kidneys.
The disease can also damage the liver, pancreas and, in some rare cases, the
heart and brain. The two major forms of polycystic kidney disease are
distinguished by their patterns of inheritance.

Polycystic kidney disease is one of the most common life-threatening genetic
diseases, affecting an estimated 12.5 million people worldwide.
PKD is a hereditary disease, which means many cysts on the kidneys. With age
become old, the kidney cysts will become bigger, and then press the kidney
tissues and damage the kidney function. At that time, patients will present the
symptoms like foam in urine, hematuria, dizziness, swelling, backpain, fatigue
etc. With the kidney cysts become big enough, the patients will secrete the
cystic liquid which is very easy to get infection in the kidneys. The final
result of PKD is kidney failure.
With the development of modern Chinese Medicine, there is a good treatment
for PKD: Natural Immune Balance Treatment. There are mainly four functions:
1. To improve kidney function: medicine of activating blood circulation and
eliminating stasis can improve the renal blood circulation, relieve
hypercoagulable state, promote the absorption of fibrous tissue and may recover
some of obsolete nephrons at different levels; and TCM of Cordyceps Sinensis can
really improve the kidney function, and has been used to the treatment of Renal
Insufficiency and even Uremia.
2. To regulate immunity: all tonics, blood-activating drugs and heat-clearing
and detoxicating drugs in Chinese medicine can increase the phagocytic function
of reticuloendothelial system. Some of the Chinese medicine has the
bidirectional regulating function in immunity. Chinese antirheumatic medicine
has the anti-allergic function; especially the Common threewingnut root has a
good efficacy for Glomerulonephritis. According to the research, this drug can
restrain the forming of immune complexes, and relieve the inflammation of
glomerular.
3. To excrete metabolic waste: For example, Rheum can accelerate the
excretion of urea nitrogen and serum creatine, and then relieve azotemia.
4. Diuresis : Traditional Chinese medicine has a good diuretic function. Such
as: Grifola, Poria cocos, Rhizoma Alismatis, Plantain, Lysimachia, Chinese
Lobelia and so on used together with some mild kidney medicine may have a good
effect in promoting Diuresis. Research suggested that mild kidney medicine may
improve kidney’s blood flow, and increase glomerular filtration rate. And
water-disinhibiting medicine can reduce the reabsorption of kidney tubules. So
these two kinds of medicine used together can promote diuresis.
