Why is Ayurvedic Treatment for PKD is most effective?

Kidneys are responsible for eliminating wastes from the human body. If the toxic waste goes on accumulating in the body then it can prove fatal. Kidney cleanses the blood and produces urine. PKD is also known as polycystic kidney disease. It is a genetic disease in which sacs filled with fluid are formed in the kidney that obstructs it’s functioning. There can also be unusual growth of a cyst in kidneys that can gradually damage the organ and hamper its functioning.

PKD is a critical health problem that increases cyst development in other organs of the human body. If PKD is left untreated then it can lead to kidney failure or chronic kidney disease.

In the United States, about 600,000 people have PKD. It is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. It is found in all races and occurs equally in men and women. It causes about 5% of all kidney failure.

According to Ayurveda, the imbalance inthree doshas – Vata, Pitta, andKaphacauses PKD and affects the regular functioning of the kidney. The imbalances in these doshascan also cause kidney cyst orGurdaGranthi.

Symptoms of PKD-

1. Hypertension
2. Headache
3. Blood in urine
4. Urinary tract infections
5. Body ache
6. Swollen or enlarged kidney
7. Kidney failure
8. Renal stone

Types of PKD:-

Polycystic kidney disease has 2 kinds-

1. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease- It is also known as adult PKD because it occurs at the age of 30-40 years. It is a genetic disease that is passed on from one parent to the child.
2. Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Diseases: The symptoms of this disease develop from the birth of a child. It is passed on from both the parents to the child.

How can we diagnose PKD?

An affordable way to diagnose PKD is ultrasound. But, sometimes small cysts remain undiagnosed in ultrasound. So other tests like CT scan (computerised tomography scan) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are used. MRI is used for some detailed diagnosis to understand the extent of the PKD. In rare cases, genetic testing is also preferred.
