Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) causes a cluster of sac-fluid cysts to develop in kidneys. With the expansion of kidney cysts, patients may suffer from a series of symptoms and complications. Hematuria is just one common sign of PKD. Is this symptom dangerous?
What causes blood in urine for PKD patients?
Blood in urine means red blood cells in urine. For patients with PKD, hematuria is usually due to three conditions.
- As cysts grow larger and larger, the blood vessels in cyst walls will rupture due to high tension. When these blood cells leak into the urine, patients will suffer from blood urine.
- In addition to fluid, some blood may also be involved in cyst. When kidney cyst ruptures, blood will leak into urine through urinary tract.
- In some cases, blood urine occurs along with kidney stones, while kidney stone is one common symptom of PKD.
Now, we can know the common causes of hematuria for patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease. Even though blood in urine itself isn’t dangerous, the underlying cause may induce some more severe complications. Therefore, patients should pay highly attention to this problem.
How to deal with hematuria for PKD patients?
From the above analysis, we have known the causes of hematuria for patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease. Since the cause changes from person to person, patients should take corresponding method to manage their problems. For example, if patients’ hematuria is due to enlarged kidney cyst, patients should take some therapies to shrink patients’ kidney cysts. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is one natural therapy that can help shrink kidney cysts. The effective ingredients of Chinese medicine can increase permeability of cyst wall and inhibit secretion of cyst fluid.
If you are also suffering from hematuria and PKD, you can consult the doctor online to determine what therapy is suitable for you.
