Parapelvic Cyst can get regular follow-up because it is benign with small cysts. When the diameter of the cyst is above 5cm, or the symptoms of oppression and complications occur, the effective treatment should be taken. The surgical methods include Laparoscopic Renal Cyst Decortication, Puncture sclerotherapy operation under the guide of B-ultrasound and laparoscopic cystectomy, etc. The method of Puncture Sclerotherapy operation can easily lead to complications and the recurrence is high because the structure of renal hilus is complex and the cyst is very deep, so this method is not proper to be adopted. The traditional open surgery will strongly damage the body because the large incision on the waist, and further more, patients should stay in the hospital for long because the postoperative recovery is very slow. However, laparoscopy is worth to be popularized because it can observe the cyst in multiple angles and have the function of magnification so that surgery can be fully exposed and minimally invasive and have effective hemostasis.
There is also one method with no surgery. That is The Hot Compress Therapy of Huaxia Kidney Disease Hospital. The therapeutic mechanism is that the effective medicine can inactivate the epithelial cells of cysts, which paralyzes its secretion so the liquid in cyst would not increase. As a result, the cyst would stop growing. The Hot Compress Therapy of Huaxia Kidney Disease Hospital can promote the blood circulation on the surface of the cysts. The cyst liquid will be discharged out of body along with urine through metabolism. This is a method to remove cyst fundamentally so it is rare to relapse.

Diet Suggestion for Renal Cyst
Diet Suggestion for Renal CystFor the renal cyst patient, on clinical, we emphasizes on the following several aspects:
Avoid taking spicy food, such as hot pepper, liquor, smoke , chocolate, coffee, marine fish, shrimp, and crab, etc.
Avoid taking Salty food, especially preserved food, contaminated food, such as unclean food, perishable food, leftovers, etc.
Avoid eating broiled dishes.
Besides, the renal cyst patient should limit animal high protein, fat and oily food.
Limit beans, and bean products, especially renal insufficiency patient.

Can I Have A Baby If I Have Renal Cyst
Before discussing the question about whether Renal Cyst female patients can have a baby or not, patients should know something about Renal Cyst. Renal Cyst is caused by the phenotype transformation of renal tubular epithelial cells and the secretion of it. When RTEC acts as cyst wall cell by phenotype transformation and secretes sac liquid, the persistent proliferation of RTEC causes obstruction of kidney tubules. As there is no passageway to discharge sac liquid, it accumulates in cyst. Consequently, the renal cyst can grow larger. If the renal cyst is large enough it can cause damage to kidney and lead to symptoms such as blood urine, edema, etc. Then, in which condition can Renal Cyst female patients have a baby?
When renal cyst is small, it will not produce much pressure to its surrounding tissues and patients can live with it. If there are no abnormality of renal function, female patients can have a baby, but they should take regular test to check up the development of renal cyst. Besides, they should also take other tests to insure it is proper for them to be pregnant such as blood pressure, urine test, etc.
However, when the renal cyst is large and other abnormality about renal function, female patients should not be pregnant because pregnant can aggravate the burden to kidney and lead to further damage to kidney or even causes Renal Insufficiency.
So whether Renal Cyst female patients can have a baby or not, they should take series tests to insure the condition for pregnant and avoid aggravating the burden to kidney or more serious kidney disease.
Simple Renal Cyst and Hematuria
The small renal cyst can not cause great pressure to its surrounding tissues, so people can live with it without any discomforts. When renal cyst grows lager, it causes the condition of renal ischemia and anoxia. If it is not positively treated, this condition can lead to renal intrinsic cell damage or dead. Thus, renal function is greatly damaged and the filtration barrier can be destroyed. As a result, red blood cell run into urine without obstacle namely Hematuria.
Besides, when the simple renal cyst grows larger, if patients don not pay attention to this and make it rupture, it can also lead to Hematuria. In this condition, it is more danger to catch infection which can threaten people′s life. Further more, patients can also suffer edema on ankles or even all over the body.

7 Easy Naturally Ways to Lower Creatinine Levels
Dietary sources of creatine and creatinine are only found within animal products, therefore you will be reducing the burden of “extra” creatine and creatinine circulating through your blood by eating a largely plant based diet.
Clinical studies show that the consumption of red meat is detrimental to the health of kidneys, see my article here.
Plant based diets have show to reduce all the major risk factors of kidney disease. E.g. diabetes, and high blood pressure
Dairy products have been shown in clinical studies to exacerbate kidney disease.
2. Avoid creatine supplements: not only do high doses of this large molecule cause kidney problems, but by supplying the body with extra creatine, you will cause more creatine to be spontaneously converted to the by-product creatinine.
3. Avoid strenuous physical activity: thereby decreasing the breakdown of creatine into creatinine.
4. Nettle leaf tea: drink 1 to 2 cups a day. Nettle leaf tea is a simple yet powerful kidney tonic that can improve kidney function and reduce serum creatinine levels.
5. Avoid the over consumption of Vanadium: Although very beneficial for the body, particularly for diabetes and blood sugar problems, over consumption of the mineral vanadium has been linked to increased blood creatinine levels.
6. Alpha lipoic acid: This is a fantastic nutrient! And one that I recommend every kidney disease sufferer begin right away. It helps provide energy to the kidneys, it helps nutrialise toxins to make them harmless to the body , it helps improve kidney function, and of course helps lower creatinine levels. If you would like to know more info on alpha lipoic acid, please check out my article here. I recommend a dosage of 300mg a day.
7. Chitosan: Chitosan maybe be better known for weight management, but believe it or not it has another trick up its sleeve. Chitosan supplementation in clinical studies reduced urea, creatinine and cholesterol levels in the blood, and increased haemoglobin production in patients with chronic kidney disease. I recommend a dosage of 1000-4000mg a day.
Basic Knowlege and Significance of Creatinine
• Creatinine is a waste product of the major energy metabolite creatine.
• Normal creatinine serum blood levels are:
- 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dl in males
- 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dl in females
• Creatinine is usually found in higher quantities in young adults, and lesser quantities in the elderly.
• Those with one kidney will have higher than “normal” levels of creatinine circulating in their blood.
• Creatinine can be tested for via a blood sample or via a urine sample. On its own a blood sample is more accurate than a urine sample, though combining them together to form what is called a creatinine clearance test is the most accurate test.
• High creatinine levels occur due to any number of diseases that cause the kidneys to shut down, including dehydration, shock, congestive heart failure, and bladder outlet obstruction.
• There are no definitive symptoms that are caused by high creatinine levels, though the following could be possibly linked: fatigued, shortness of breath, feeling dehydrated, and confusion.
If you are a gym junkie, or know someone that is, you probably have come across creatine before. Creatine is touted by many body builders as the best natural substance for increasing energy reserves – especially for the explosive sports.
Creatine is naturally produced by the body and the majority of it is stored within the muscles . The body does this through the synthesis of the amino acids L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine via the liver, and because the body can make its own, creatine itself is not essential in the diet. The dietary source of creatine however is any animal meat, such as beef, chicken, and fish. Providing up to 1 gram a day of creatine for the typical “meat-eater”.
As previously mentioned, creatine has a key role to play in the production of ATP. This occurs in the most important energy pathway of the body, known as the Kreb’s Cycle, or the Citric Acid Cycle. The average human body uses over 2000mg of creatinine a day to fuel this important biochemical pathway, for the purposes of producing the most vital energy source of the body.
OK, so now that we understand a little more about creatine, and that creatine is a necessary molecule, we can now delve a little deeper into creatinine levels and how to lower them.
The Importance of Creatinine Levels
After many years study, and lengthy clinical trials, creatinine was found to be the best indicator of kidney function. Why? Well, there are a few reasons for this, and they are as follows:
1. Creatinine is produced in a relatively constant rate
2. Creatinine is mainly eliminated from the body via the kidneys
3. Creatinine has virtually no reabsorption within the kidneys – meaning there no recycling of creatinine back into the blood stream. Reabsorption would cause a skew in the results, making this molecule a poorer choice for assessing kidney function.

How to Improve Kidney Function
1. The Water Hydration Technique: You know how most of us generally go for long periods without water, become thirsty and scull the next available glass in about 30 seconds? Have you ever thought what this does to your body? No? I don’t blame you.
The actual fact of the matter is that every time you a drink a glass of water in a hurry, you are placing pressure on kidney function. How? Well, seeing as one of the functions of the kidneys is to keep the fluid levels in the blood stream balanced, by drinking a full glass of water at once you are essentially dumping a large amount of water into the blood stream, which the kidneys now need to balance out. By drinking slowly, a mouthful at a time, you reduce the pressure on the kidneys and increase hydration. Sound too simple to do any good? Good. Now try it.
2. Sunshine: As you are probably aware, when sunlight touches the skin, light sensitive receptor cells are activated to produce the active form of vitamin D. Vitamin D has many benefits in the body, the main benefits being: cancer prevention, immune system enhancement, bone health, and regulation of phosphorus and calcium levels .
Did you know then that one of the key functions of kidneys is to active vitamin D too? True. By spending just 15 mins a day under the light of the sun, you can let the sun and your skin do all the work. Your kidneys will be saved the extra work, and at the same time you get to enjoy the open air.
The other important thing to note is that if your kidney function has deteriorated too far, then your kidneys will not be able to produce enough active vitamin D anyway, making sunshine all the more necessary.
3. Juicing: Juicing is a favourite kidney function treatment of mine; it’s cheap, and it is easy to do.
Vegetables just like herbs contain not only vitamin and minerals that we are all familiar with, but also contain nutrients known as phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are simply ‘nutrients’ derived from plants that are produced by the plant to aid in its survival, including: chemical messengers, structure, protection from harmful organisms, protection from insects, or even attracting pollinating insects. The interesting thing with phytonutrients however, is that although these chemicals were made specific for the plant, by some miraculous way, these natural chemicals lend themselves perfectly to other organisms e.g. Humans.
The most well known phytonutrients include: beta carotene, lignans, isoflavones, and bioflavonoids.
So go to your fruit bowl right now, and see what you can start juicing. Here are some of the best vegetables and fruits for your kidney function: watermelon, raspberry, celery, parsley, cucumber, carrot, strawberries, peach, and beetroot.
