Karen, Polycystic Kidney Disease and Stage 5 Kidney Failure, America

Name: Karen

Gender: Female

Country: America

Diagnosis: PKD, Stage 5 Kidney Failure

Why Come to China:

"I've been diagnosed with PKD for about the last twelve years. And only in the last six months, I find out that I was almost Stage 5 Kidney Failure. While researching for available treatment for my disease, I found out that there really in the US, there is no real treatment for it. You just wait until your certain blood levels get really bad and then finally you get a transplant or you go on dialysis. No other treatment available from anywhere else."

"I spent lots of time researching on that and i finally get to know Kidney Service China and the treatment details on the website. And finally I decided to talk to my family and friends that I really want something alternative of having Dialysis or a transplant. With great hope, I am here to get treatment."

Treatment in China:

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, 3 times/day, 45 min/ time

Dialysis and western medicines

Comment about the treatment:

"The treatment was very good. Micro-Chinese Medicine was done in your room. And it is three times a day."

"I call it a nice but very challenging experience. We have no other alternatives especially if you have PKD. We all usually feel fine for a long time and then you realize that you have no options but a transplant. There is a big leaning curve and lots of frustration. But I will keep good attitude and look forward to get rid of Dialysis or avoid transplantation with Chinese medicine treatment!"
