here are no special treatments that can cure the PKD. In clinic,doctors can just take some specific measures to relieve their symptoms and maintain their life. Use some painkiller to alleviate pain,take ACEI or ARB to control and relieve the higher level of blood pressure and do Kidney Dialysis or even take Kidney Transplant to slove the renal problems if necessary.
In addition,healthy diet plays an important role in delaying and easing the disease advancing. So can they drink whiskey in their daily life?
the answer is NO. Although proper intake of whiskey can invigorate the circulation of blood,increase appetite and remove fatigue,it is not beneficial for patients with kidney damage. The intake of liquor will stimulate the cyst increase,accelerate the renal damage. Moreover,frequent intake of liquor will increase their blood pressure and the creatinine level. What’s worse,it may worsen patients disease condition or cause death directly.
In addition, PKD patients should follow a diet with limited water intake, and high quality protein. This helps relieve PKD symptoms and even delay its progression.
