by Vaibhav Goyal Ayurvedic Kidney TreatmentPolycystic kidney disease is an inherited condition in which many fluid-filled cysts like growth appear in the kidneys. Since it is a genetic condition, a proper polycystic kidney disease treatment in Ayurveda will help to avert the condition completely.
Polycystic
kidney disease is an inborn condition that causes many types of blood or fluid waste
cysts to appear in your kidneys. The growth of cysts can change the shape of
your kidneys, make them large or swollen. PKD is a type of chronic kidney
disease that usually develops over a time period. The condition usually
withdraws the capability of the kidneys to function properly and may even
progress to kidney failure.
The ubiquity of PKD
PKD is
a common genetic condition that affects 1 in every 500 to 1000 people. In order
for an individual to have the condition, both PKD1and PKD 2 genes are involved.
The types of PKD
- Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; which appears in the adults
- Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease; which appears in the new born or the fetus in the womb
What are the causes of PKD?
Polycystic
kidney disease is caused by genetic mutations or an underlying defect in
the genes. In many cases, the gene mutation develops on its own without even
the involvement of mutated genes by the parents. This type of mutation is
spontaneous.
What are the signs and symptoms of PKD?
The signs and symptoms of PKD appear late in the life which usually includes:
- Pain in the abdominal part
- High blood pressure
- Abnormal heart valves
- Blood in the urine
- Headaches
- Enlarged kidneys
- Growth failure
- Low levels of amniotic fluid
- Breathing problems
Early
signs of ARPKD include: larger than the normal size of the kidneys, growth
failure in the baby, etc. Some babies with ARPKD do not develop signs or
symptoms until they reach adulthood.
How do doctors diagnose PKD?
Your doctor will diagnose PKD by using imaging tests and
genetic testing. Further, family history is also taken into account. Your age,
and other factors also play an important role in understanding the condition. The
sooner you are able to diagnose the condition, the better are the chances of
avoiding complications.

Polycystic kidney disease treatment in Ayurveda helps to relieve the
signs and complications of PKD with the use of herbal medicines. Since PKD is
mostly inherited, you cannot slow down the progression of PKD into renal
failure with allopathic medicines.
Prevention
measures for PKD
Physical activity
Regular physical activity plays an important role in reducing stress
levels and managing weight. When you are physically fit and fine, you are
actually decreasing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. But choose
your fitness mantra wisely as this impact your lifestyle.
Sleep well
Aim to sleep at least 7 to 8 hours each night as this is important for
your physical and mental health. Sleeping for adequate hours will help regulate
blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
Reduce stress
Long term stress can raise your blood pressure and make you prone to
depression. Thus, it is important to ensure that you are working on your stress
levels by way of yoga or meditation or by picking any favorite activity of
yours.
Quit smoking
High blood pressure is the common complication of high blood pressure
that further damages the kidneys. So, in order to prevent kidney damage or
reduce the risk of high blood pressure, quit smoking. Restricting smoking is
also important for people who have brain aneurysms.
Avoid alcohol
Just like a cigarette, alcohol is also not good for the kidneys. Alcohol
consumption is directly related to kidney, liver and heart damage. Your chances
of having renal failure are high when you consume alcohol during PKD.
Change your dietary habits
You may need to change your dietary habits to control your blood
pressure and prevent kidney related problems. People with CKD should consult a
dietician about the foods and drinks they should include in their eating. Stay
hydrated by drinking 7 or 8 glasses of water to slow down the progression of
PKD to renal failure.
