Treatments of Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease

Cysts in Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease are not genetic and usually benign. Because those cysts are secondary disease of Chronic Kidney Disease or Kidney Failure, doctors and patients usually pay less attention to them than Chronic Kidney Disease or Kidney Failure. The conventional treatments aim at their symptoms and the primary diseases.
Medicines in easing symptoms
If Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease is not causing pain or discomfort, no treatment is required. Infections are treated with a course of antibiotics. If large cysts are causing pain, hematuria, the cysts are treated as Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Surgeries
Unlike Polycystic Kidney Disease, cysts may cause severe bleeding and Wunderlich Syndrome which is fatal. With the possibility of cancer, surgeries will be applied to ease the bleeding. In those cases, surgery is used to stop cysts from bleeding and to remove tumors or suspected tumors. Surgeries are necessary for patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease who are infected persistently by the secondary diseases such as kidney stone and abscess.
Kidney transplantation
After a person receives a transplanted kidney, the cysts usually shrink and even disappear in the diseased kidneys. Without infection or high blood pressure, the diseased kidneys are always left in place in transplantation. However, after transplantation, antiallergic drugs like immunosuppressive agents probably make those cysts become malignant cells. The cancerous cells may spread into other organs, destroying them. So some scholars consider cutting the diseased kidneys before transplantation to avoid possible infections and canceration.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Stem Cells Transplant
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has great advantage in shrinking renal cysts over other treatments. What’s more, it can enhance immune system and offer necessary substances for self-healing mechanism to repair the damaged renal tissues. With great power of differentiation, stem cells will separate the damaged renal intrinsic cells and replace their functions. Without severe renal insufficiency, patients possibly need not dialysis or get rid of dialysis, which not only protect and repair renal functions but also remove one cause of Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease.

Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease is usually not severe, but you would better think over it when you are determining to take dialysis or kidney transplantation.
