How to treat 4 cm PKD with immunotherapy? As we know, PKD is a genetic kidney
disease which means that once one parent has got it, their child will have
ability to get it. Normally, when the cysts are under 3 cm in diameter, they
will not cause any damage to the surrounding cells and tissues. However, with
time passing by, the cysts will grow bigger and we should take effective
measures so as to prevent the damage they will cause.
In our hospital, the immunotherapy mainly includes Chinese Medicine, stem
cell transplant as well as some western medicine treatment such as oral drugs,
and immune absorption if necessary. Among them, both Chinese Medicine and stem
cell can increase the immune ability.
Firstly, after PKD patients are discharged in our hospital, they will firstly
receive a systematic examination about the size of the cysts, the blood
pressure, protein in urine and so on, which can provide a foundation for the
proper treatment of the doctors.
Secondly, Chinese Medicine will be used in clinic. The active materials in it
can increase the permeability of the cysts, accelerate the reabsorption of sac
liquid, which can shrink the cysts eventually. What’s more, Chinese Medicine is
abstracted from our natural Chinese medicine, which can do good to Qi and gives
nutrition in blood supply, which can increase the immunity ability of patients
with Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Besides Chinese Medicine, stem cells can also be supplied to enhance the
immune ability.
Factors of stem cell, especially the growth factors of stem cell can activate
the cells which have been in sleeping condition, which can replace the damaged
ones and even the necrotic intrinsic cells in the kidney.
Generally, when the cysts are 4 cm, it indicates that the damage is not so
serious and patients should be confident and take effective measures as soon as
possible. If we do not treat it, the cysts will become bigger, thus causing more
injury. If there are more toxins in the blood, patient should add more treatment
means such as immune absorption, blood plasma exchange and dialysis, which
increase the treatment time and cost, but also can not assure of the effect.
