Kidney Cyst Protein

People with proteinuria have urine with an abnormal amount of protein. The condition is often a sign of kidney disease.
Healthy kidneys do not allow a significant amount of protein to pass through their filters. But filters damaged by kidney disease may let proteins such as albumin leak from the blood into the urine.
Kidney cyst is a common kidney disorder in which a fluid collection is formed in kidney. In clinic, no treatment is needed when cyst is much smaller and meanwhile causes no side effects, but patients need to put close eyes on it. However, for large kidney cyst, it oppresses surrounding kidney tissues, which can lead to decrease of kidney function. Therefore, if the cyst is much bigger ( >3cm), surger or other treatment methods will be needed to avoid unnecessary kidney problem.
Kidney cyst is one of the causes of protein in urine, so it is necessary for kidney cyst patients who are told to have blood and protein in urine to have further tests to see if their kidney function is impaired.
To control the proteinuria, I suggest a mixed management of steroid therapy, Micro-Chinese Medicine and Diet changes.
-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy aims at shrinking the cyst naturally and repair the damaged glomeruli. It works as repairman who can sew up the cutting in glomeruli, and make the glomeruli to get its filtering ability back.
-Steroid Therapy. Some steroid therapy is specially used to alleviate protein in urine. They work as a “band-aid” which can dress the cut in glomeruli. It is a fast aid to stop serious proteinuria.

- Diet changes also play an important role in managing protein in urine. You are suggested to take a low-sodium, low-fat and spicy-avoided diet. It will help reduce kidney’s burden and alleviate the proteinuria.
