Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a hereditary disease that is characterized
by the growth of many cysts in the kidneys. With the child growing, cysts
forming in the kidney will profoundly enlarge the kidney, resulting in reduced
kidney function and finally giving rise to kidney failure.
At the early stage of PKD in child, there are no obvious symptoms so that PKD
in child can not be found timely so that child with PKD does not receive proper
treatment as soon as possible as a result of which, child with PKD has severe
symptoms when diagnosed with the disease. Parents who have PKD should pay more
attention to children in order to earlier find the sign of PKD in children to
receive timely treatment for them and maintain children growing and developing
as normally as possible.
The early symptoms of PKD in children:
High blood pressure
Hematuria (blood urine)
Back pain
Urinary tract infections
Delayed development
Bruise easily
Abnormal heart valves
If your child has signs mentioned above, you should take him/ her to go to
see a doctor for a test. With child growing, cysts are growing enough as a
result of which, cysts can profoundly enlarged the kidney replacing the normal
kidney structure and damaging the kidney function. Finally, it is likely to
develop into kidney failure.
Parents should take the right time to treat PKD in children. It is the best
time for child with PKD to receive treatment at the early stage of PKD. The
earlier child with PKD receives treatment, the better the prognosis is.
Stem Cell Transplant is recommended to treat Childhood PKD. Stem cell is a
class of unspecialized cells which have the ability to self-renew and
differentiate any type of cells. After transplanted into body, stem cells move
to damaged part of kidney to self-renew or differentiate tissue-cells or
organ-cells to repair or replace the worn and damaged cells so as to achieve the
goal of treating disease. Compared with conventional therapies, stem cells have
the advantage of treating Childhood PKD with the features of being simple,
painless, and quick. Above all, Stem Cell Transplant has no side effects on
their growth and development in the future. As parents, what they want is to
choose a safe and effective therapy to treat the condition well and keep child
growing and developing as normally as possible. In many cases, Stem Cell
Transplant has great curative effects on Childhood PKD so that children with PKD
can live a better life in future.
