Can Multiple
Simple Renal Cysts Affect Kidney Function
Simple renal cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form in the kidneys.They are
different from the cysts that develop in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Can
multiple simple renal cysts affect kidney function?
if the multiple simple cysts keep enlarging persistently,they will oppress
the adjacent kidney tissues, replace healthy kidney tissues, leading to
progressive renal function decline.High blood pressure is often the first sign
of kidney damage in multiple simple renal cysts. Afterwards, back pain, blood in
urine, etc will happen.
If the cysts are large, surgery may be needed to remove the large ones by
draining the cysts.However,after the large cysts are removed, the small ones
will become large soon. The newly enlarged cysts will affect renal function once
again.
Alternative treatment to surgery for multiple simple renal cysts
Chinese herbal medicine is an alternative treatment for multiple simple renal
cysts.It is a natural therapy free of invasive effects on body completely.
In treating multiple simple renal cysts, Chinese herbal medicine mainly works
in two ways:
The medicines can soften the cyst wall and improve the permeability of cyst
wall. By this way, it can promote the excretion of cystic fluids, thus shrinking
large cysts.
Additionally, Chinese herbal medicines can kill the epithelial cells and stop
them from producing fluids. Thereby, the cysts will stop enlarging.
