Genetic testing for polycystic kidney disease


Genetic testing is a test performed by a professional at clinical laboratories. It recognizes the changes in chromosomes, genes, and protein-types. This test can confirm the changes occurring in the body because of genetic disorders. One such disorder is polycystic kidney disease. These disorders are often known as hereditary diseases.

• Molecular genetic test: The professional may take a sample of your DNA for examining the mutations that can lead to several disorders including the polycystic kidney diseases.

• Chromosomal genetic test: This type of DNA examination analysis the enormous hereditary changes. For example, a duplicate of a chromosome that can cause a hereditary medical condition.

• Biochemical genetic test: This type of test analyses the changes in the amount of protein and abnormalities indicating various genetic disorders.

All these tests are discretionary. Since these tests have their own benefits but also have risks and complications. A geneticist can help your nephrologist by providing the necessary information about the examination of polycystic kidney disease. The cases of polycystic kidney diseases are rare and so the treatment. Polycystic kidney disease treatment in India by Karma Ayurveda Health provides a complete cure for the reversal of these genetic disorders. This type of treatment helps in repairing the faulty genes provided a gateway to this disease.

The medical services facilitate us with several tests other than genetic tests for the determination of PKD such as:

• Ultrasound
• Computed tomography (CT)
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Ultrasound is the most common and least costly screening method for PKD. There are accepted standards for ultrasound testing to determine if you have PKD. These standards include the number of cysts visible, age, and family history.

CT and MRI scans are considered to be more sensitive than ultrasound. CT scans, however, involve radiation or may also require iodinated contrast dye which, can be toxic to the kidneys. CT scans or MRIs may be used to look at complications like bleeding into a cyst or a suspected kidney stone. They may also be used to detect small cysts as needed.

Now let us have an overview of the Ayurvedic polycystic kidney disease treatment. The ultimate motive of a nephrologist is to provide medicines for the recovery and rectification of the damage done. Similarly, Ayurvedic medicines for PKD modify the diet and lifestyle of the diseased in such a way that will let him induce the nutrients and enzymes that are necessary at the time of medicament.

During Polycystic Kidney Disease, the diet is managed in a way that will lower down the blood pressure. Though the diet of a patient depends on the physical conditions of a patient but here we will be talking about the diet that any PKD patient can consume.

So, initially, it's essential to recognize the consumption of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus has to be restricted. This is because we are thinking about the damage done to the kidney is excessive and the food regimen can help in healing quickly.

Protein:
The job of protein in our bodies is to hold bone health, shape more potent muscles and restore the damaged tissues. But here you have to cut down the consumption of protein; following are the ingredients that you may need to avoid during the Ayurvedic treatment of Polycystic Kidney Disease:

• Wheat protein (seitan)
• Nut butter
• Soy milk or yogurt
• Beans
• Peas
• Unsalted nuts
• Low-sodium or reduced-sodium cottage cheese
• Whole grains
• Double toned milk
• Cow milk
• Egg white

Sodium:
During PKD, it is vital to observe the intake of salt and sodium-based foods during the medicament. We are addicted to the consumption of salt every day and add deliberately to our foods. But this addiction can bring adverse effects for kidneys that can complicate the functioning of kidneys even more. Following are the simple precautions that one will have to take during the Ayurvedic proteinuria treatment:

• Avoid frozen foods such as frozen peas, canned soup, dried soups, and pre-cut vegetables and foods. They are rich with a high amount of sodium as preservatives.
• Avoid soy-based cheese.
• Avoid processed cheese, mayonnaise, and other processed foods.
• Avoid normal salt and common salt, soy sauce, and all the sauces containing sodium and salt in high amounts.

Potassium:
Fruits and veggies are the richest sources of potassium however not they all are kidney-friendly. So, the hassle that happens in PKD is to limit the favorite fruits and vegetable intake. Following is the list of fruits and greens that have to be avoided at some point of the treatment of kidney disorder:

• Soybeans
• Soy nuts
• Soy floor
• Natto (soybean paste)
• Wasabi
• Melons
• Tomato products
• Tropical fruits
• Potatoes
• Textured vegetable protein

Phosphorus:
Phosphorus is one of the major nutrients that lead to mishappening like kidney failure. Limiting your intake of phosphorus can bring a revolution in the healthy living of the human body. Basic precautions that you do are:

• Avoid dark colas
• Processed foods
• Concentrated phosphorus
• Foods containing phosphorus additives
