The factors which influence the growth of cysts go as follows:
1. Patients with PKD should pay more attention to the diet to make sure what they take in is safe. Avoid food which contains too much salt. Do not have spicy food, including pepper, alcohol, shrimps, crabs, etc, which will stimulate the cysts to grow bigger. Don’t eat food which is polluted, including the one which goes bad. PKD patients who have developed into Renal Insufficiency or Uremia should limit the intake of beans and bean curd. In addition, food which is rich in animal protein and greasy food should also be avoided.
In China, the most important festival Spring Festival is coming. In western countries, the most important festival Christmas Day is also coming. People will go home and prepare much delicious food to celebrate these two traditional festivals. However, Patients with PKD should remember the diet principle and remind themselves so as to make sure the cysts will not grow and influence the mood.
2. scientific medicine intake
Female PKD patients should also remind themselves to take medicine on time and scientifically. Avoid taking in medicine which is harmful to the kidney. In addition, don’t take examination too frequently. They had better take examination every half a year. Before taking in medicine, PKD patients had better ask for doctor’s advice.
3. avoid getting a cold
It is winter now. PKD patients should have more water every day, keep warm, do not take exercise too long in outside so as to avoid getting a cold.
