What is PKD? - How my patients avoid kidney dialysis - a natural treatment to reverse your kidney disease

What is PKD?




This is Emily. She has been diagnosed
with polycystic kidney disease or PKD.
Her doctor told her that there's
currently no cure
and no treatment for the disease. She
has lots of questions about PKD
such as: Who is affected? How is it passed on
and what can she expect?
Emily visits pkdcure.org to see what information she could find.
She discovers that PKD is one of the most common,
life-threatening genetic diseases
affecting tens of thousands of Americans
and millions of people worldwide.
PKD impacts men and women alike
and all races and nationalities
equcally. There are two types of PKD:
ADPKD and ARPKD.
ADPKD is the more common type,
and the type that Emily has been
diagnosed with. It is usually passed from
parent to child.
Children of parents with ADPKD have
a 50 percent chance of having the disease.
As a result, ADPKD often affects many
people in one family,
however about 10 percent of people
diagnosed with
ADPKD have no family history of the
disease.
Instead, they have ADPKD
because of a spontaneous new mutation.
For people with ADPKD,
fluid-filled cysts grow in their kidneys
causing them to grow larger and larger.
Normal kidneys are about the size of a
fist. Polycystic kidneys
can get much larger, sometimes as big as a football
and can weigh as much as 30 pounds each.
Eventually, the cysts cause the kidneys
to stop working.
ADPKD can be a painful disease
that keeps people from enjoying life to
its fullest; taking a toll on a person's
emotional, mental and physical health.
ADPKD is the fourth leading cause of kidney
failure and once person's kidneys fail,
their only options are dialysis or
kidney transplant.
The other form of PKD is ARPKD.
ARPKD is a rare form of polycystic kidney disease
that occurs in one in 20,000 children worldwide
and can cause death in the first month
of life.
For children who survive the newborn period
â€" about 70 percent â€"
about one-third will need dialysis or transplant by age 10.
Emily is encouraged to find out that the PKD Foundation
is committed to ending PKD. Their vision
is that one day,
no one will suffer the full effects of
this disease.
They are the only organization in the United States solely dedicated to finding treatments
and a cure for PKD. The focus of the PKD Foundation
is on funding research. They also provide
education,
offer support through local chapters and
promote advocacy and awareness.
Emily decides that she can help by
volunteering; getting involved with a chapter;
and helping spread the word about PKD.
Every action makes a difference.

How my patients avoid kidney dialysis - a natural treatment to reverse your kidney disease




Hello, I'm Dr. John Ree
I wanna talk about a program that's extremely
helpful if you have kidney disease, impaired
kidney function or if you're on dialysis.
Some time ago, blood tests of one of the dialysis
patients shocked me. In few months, his creatinine
went from 7,42 to 3,92, eGFR from 14 to 32.
He was healing his kidneys, reversing chronic
kidney disease... just following a simple
step-by-step program.
I've decided to check this program, I've been
impressed by how well researched and comprehensive
it is.
I'm now suggesting it to all my ambulatory
dialysis patients, seeing improvements all
days.
I've read this book, studied this program.
And, believe me, if you suffer from kidney
disease, if you're on dialysis or if you have
impaired kidney function, you should do the
same.
