Patient's question:
My wife was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease three years ago, but since it didn't significantly interfere with her survival, we didn't pay close attention to taking her to the hospital. Recently, she has been experiencing severe lower back pain and is considering going to the hospital for a blood test. Can she have the test done? Will it be effective?Doctor's answer:
This disease does not have a specific treatment method; primarily, controlling blood pressure and infections can effectively slow the progression of kidney failure. The treatment for patients with impaired kidney function is the same as that for patients with chronic kidney failure. Various painkillers can be used to treat renal colic, and antibiotics can be used to treat complex infections. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has a good therapeutic effect on this disease, providing a treatment method for cases that are not suitable for surgery.
