Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic kidney disease and nowadays
there is no effective treatment for it. When it prevents into severe stage,
doctors offer kidney transplant and tell patients transplant is the last option.
Is this true? Will transplant help prevent PKD from relapsing?
Organ Transplantation is the moving of an organ from one body to another or
from a donor site to another location on the patient's own body, for the purpose
of replacing the recipient's damaged or absent organ. Kidney Transplant is a
widely used treatment to relive Kidney Failure patients’ disease condition.
Compared with dialysis,it is used less but the effects of it is better than
dialysis in theory.
When PKD worsens,patients’ kidneys will be effected and damaged badly. If
possible or necessary,kidney Transplant will be used to maintain their disease
condition and prolong their life. In this case,many patients are worried about
their disease condition and don’t know if it will relapse.
Actually,if you have received Kidney Transplant,PKD will not relapse on your
new kidneys. But there are also some serious problems that need your notice.
Acute rejection reaction will effect the new kidneys even cause some
life-threatening complications. So it is necessary for patients to take
immunosuppressant to inhibit the transplant reaction and protect patients.
Besides,the life expectancy is not optimistic for kidney-transplant
recipients. If permissible,conservative therapy may be more suitable to improve
your disease condition and protect your remaining health.
In summary, kidney transplant is not the last option for PKD and after
transplant, patients also have a higher risk for relapse. if you want to avoid
relapse of PKD, you can have a try of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy,
medicated bath, foot bath, acupuncture and some other Chinese herbal
therapies.
