Question: Hi, I was told I had PKD. My doctor told me to look up stuff. He didn’t say what stage I was, what I can and can not eat. He just said be careful with salt soda energy drinks. I changed to another doctor and still waiting to be seeing. I want to know how to stay healthy and to keep my kidneys from getting more damaged.

Answer: Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is an inherited kidney disease. So far western medicine can not help you have a good control of it, but control symptoms. What doctors tell you to do is always to lower high blood pressure and do regular check-up. Your doctor suggested you drink less salt soda energy drinks. That is right. It is helpful for you to control blood pressure.

To keep kidneys from getting more damaged by PKD, diet is not enough.

Now what you should do is to have a clear mind about how severely your kidneys are damaged and then make a reasonable diet plan. Besides sodium restriction, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. If you are still in the early stage, drinking plenty of water is helpful for you. If you are in advanced stage, water intake should be limited as well.

You should combine diet with proper treatment.

PKD can not be cured, but it does not mean it can not be controlled well. In Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is often applied in PKD treatment. This external therapy can help stop the growth of cysts and shrink the cysts to prevent your kidneys from being damaged. It can also set up a good blood environment for the damaged kidneys to heal themselves. It is worthy a try.
