Patient's question:
Hello, the enlarged kidney was discovered during a hospital examination. Is there any good method for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Avoid strenuous physical activities and abdominal trauma. When kidney swelling is significant, use a belt instead of a waistband to prevent cyst rupture. Regularly check blood pressure, urine routine, and renal function. Avoid medications that are harmful to the kidneys. Control hypertension: Target blood pressure should be below 135/85 mmHg, which plays a decisive role in protecting renal function. Antihypertensive medications are similar to those used for renal hypertension. Actively prevent and treat urinary tract infections: Take showers instead of baths, and do not hold urine. The treatment for cystitis or pyelonephritis is the same as for patients without polycystic kidney disease. The treatment of infected cysts should consider drug penetration. If possible, cyst aspiration and local medication can be performed.
