How to Alleviate Shortness Breath on PKD

Shortness breath will bring a lot of trouble for patients with PKD. It causes patients can not breath easily which can be seen as the risk factor to threat the patients life.

Some patients with polycystic kidney disease may have shortness of breath, and they may wonder why do they have shortness of breath and how to treat it. Actually, at early stage of polycystic kidney disease, it doesn’t affect patients much. Only when it advances to certain degree will it affect patients. Well, now, let’s see more information about this disease and then you can find the answer.

Regarding the process of polycystic kidney disease, actually, patients carry the gene when they are born. And with time going by, cysts in some cases grow bigger and bigger and covers almost whole of both kidneys, the diameter of which vary. And pelvis and calyces deform due to compression of those cysts. This is closely associated with proliferation of tubular epithelial cells. At the early stage of this disease, cysts do not compress the kidneys seriously, nor do it affect breath. However, when cysts grow to certain size, they enlarge the kidneys, at the same time, affect kidney’s normal function. As a result, on one hand, the enlarged kidneys compress the diaphragm, which make patients feel short of breath; on the other hand, patients’ kidney function is seriously affected, and their urine output decreases. Consequently, patients have sodium and water retention in their body in serious cases, which duly leads to pericardial effusion. And this pericardial effusion can lead to shortness of breath.
From the above information, you can know that only when polycystic kidney disease advances to certain extent that patients have shortness of breath. So, we suggest that patients should take action positively at the early stage of this disease rather than wait, doing nothing but letting it advance. The earlier patients take intervention treatment, the better the outcome can patients get.
