Kidneys are responsible for regulating our blood pressure,excreting toxins, keeping balance of acid-base and forming urine. Therefore, once kidneys are damaged, blood pressure increase and toxins build up in blood. Also, for enlarged kidney cysts, they present kidney pain and blood urine easily. These symptoms affect our normal life seriously, so many Polycystic Kidney Disease take medicines to control these symptoms.However,these medicines are only effective in remitting symptoms and can not shrink kidney cyst, so kidney failure can not be avoided if PKD patients just take some medicines to control their symptoms.
