Patient's question:
Wondering if people with polycystic kidney disease can use cosmetics? Because everyone knows that some ingredients in cosmetics are harmful to the human body, and it is not recommended to use them excessively. So, will using cosmetics affect people with polycystic kidney disease?Doctor's answer:
Yes, it generally does not interfere. However, it is necessary to control salt intake based on the patient's condition and the extent of kidney damage, but not all patients with chronic kidney disease should strictly restrict salt.Water intake: In simple polycystic kidney disease, due to reduced kidney concentration function, more water is needed to excrete metabolic waste products from the body. Therefore, patients with simple polycystic kidney disease should not blindly restrict water to avoid recurring significant edema, heart failure, and hypertension.
