Muscle cramping is common seen in people. While, how to alleviate muscle
cramping in PKD? This article will explain it in details.
The common symptoms of PKD are as following:
● Tiredness
● Cold exposure
● Low calcium level
● Mental stress
If your muscle cramps are due to the above disorders, they are easy to deal
with. However, for people with Polycystic Kidney Disease, muscle cramps are more
likely to reveal some severe conditions.
The causes of muscle cramps associated to PKD
The muscle cramps in PKD patients usually occur or aggravate at night. The
severe pain urges patients to find out the causes and managements.
1. Imbalance in fluid and electrolyte
The healthy kidneys are in charge of keeping fluid and electrolyte balance.
In PKD, as kidney cysts increase in size continuously, they can damage glomeruli
and renal tubules gradually, resulting in loss of kidney filtration function and
reabsorption function. Then, the imbalance in fluid and electrolyte such as low
calcium and magnesium may occur to cause muscle cramps.
2. Nerve damage and slow blood circulation
When kidneys are damaged by enlarged PKD cysts, more and more waste products
and toxins can build up in the body to trigger many organs. Nerve damage, one of
these complications, may easily cause muscle cramps, acousma, dizziness and so
on. Besides, slow blood circulation, another condition associated to kidney
damage, can also lead to muscle cramps.
3. Use of some drugs
People with Polycystic Kidney Disease often have to take some medications to
control their symptoms. For example, ACEI is commonly used to lower high blood
pressure but may cause muscle cramps.

The Common Symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease
What are the common symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease? Knowing the
symptoms of PKD can contribute a lot to the treatment of PKD.
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease, which is difficult to be treated in clinical and has a host of signs. For PKD patients, knowing about the signs earlier can make the patients find their disease in time in case delay the disease condition. Then, do you know the signs of PKD? Here, Funeng experts will give you some introduction.
1. High blood pressure
High blood pressure is an early sign of PKD. It is because that the enlarged cysts cause renal ischemia and anoxia, which can cause increased production of renin. Increased renin can elevate blood pressure.
2. Blood in urine
Blood in urine is a common sign of PKD. One of the most common causes is rupturing of the cysts. Meanwhile, it may due to kidney stone or urinary tract infection.
3. Pain
Flank pain or abdominal pain are commonly seen in PKD. A major cause is the enlargement of kidney cysts. Meanwhile, the pain may caused by urinary tract infection, kidney stone etc. These conditions are common complications of PKD.
4. Cerebral aneurysm
Cerebral aneurysm can be seen in PKD. If the patients have this condition, the patients will experience headache. If the cerebral vessels rupture, it can be life-threatening.
5. Kidney stone
Kidney stone has a 30% higher incidence among PKD patients.
6. Cysts in other organs
In PKD, cysts not only occur in kidneys, but also can be found in other vital organs like liver, ovarian etc. In general, the cysts in other organs do not cause a very serious effect.
7. Pericardial effusion
Pericardial effusion is present in greater than 45% among people with PKD and is also inconsequential.
8. Urinary tact infection
A urinary tract infection can be one of the first symptoms that might bring us to a doctor.
In addition, other common symptoms of PKD may include headache, fatigue, swelling, increase in the size of abdomen and frequent urination, etc.

How to Prevent Kidney Stones in PKD
Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of gene-related kidney disease. With the
progressive kidney disease, some symptoms occur, kidney stones is the more
common one. How to prevent kidney stones in PKD? This article will explain it in
details.
Kidney stones can form when substances in the urine—such as calcium, oxalate, and phosphorus—become highly concentrated. The body uses food for energy and tissue repair. After the body uses what it needs, waste products in the bloodstream are carried to the kidneys and excreted as urine. Diet is one of several factors that can promote or inhibit kidney stone formation. Certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are susceptible, but scientists do not believe that eating any specific food causes stones to form in people who are not susceptible. Other factors that affect kidney stone formation include genes, environment, body weight, and fluid intake.
People can help prevent kidney stones by making changes in fluid intake and, depending on the type of kidney stone, changes in consumption of sodium, animal protein, calcium, and oxalate.
Drinking enough fluids each day is the best way to help prevent most types of kidney stones. Health care providers recommend that a person drink 2 to 3 liters of fluid a day. People with cystine stones may need to drink even more. Though water is best, other fluids may also help prevent kidney stones, such as citrus drinks.
The key point for prevent kidney stones is to seek for a regular kidney treatment. This is a natural treatment which can repair kidney damage effectively.
This natural treatment can stop the growth of kidney cysts in the kidneys by preventing the active substances in the damaged tubular cells from releasing. On other hand, it can promote the secretion of cysts fluid by increasing the secretion of the surface of the cysts.
