Patient's question:
Not long ago, my uncle was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. Seeing my uncle suffer from the disease made me feel particularly uncomfortable. My uncle underwent polycystic kidney shockwave therapy. What are the precautions after polycystic kidney shockwave therapy?Doctor's answer:
1. Contraindications for kidney puncture include polycystic kidney disease, solitary kidney, contralateral kidney dysplasia, renal artery stenosis, renal tumors, renal cysts, intrarenal infections (including renal tuberculosis or renal abscess), bleeding disorders, malignant hypertension, and large amounts of ascites under anticoagulant treatment, among others. These conditions are not suitable for kidney puncture.2. Indications for kidney puncture include diffuse inflammation, such as various types of glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, systemic diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, and kidney damage caused by conditions like allergic purpura. Unclear causes of hematuria should be excluded as non-glomerular hematuria. Unclear and persistent proteinuria. Impaired renal function, especially when acute onset is suspected, which may be acute nephritis. Renal cyst surgery can be performed.
