LISTEN TO THESE LECTURES

PLD POLYCYSTIC LIVER by Dr. Vicente Torres. An exceptional tape on the most recent advances and hope for the future about polycystic liver disease. Included in this lecture is the study on Octreotide from Bergamo Italy.
UNDERSTANDING DIALYSIS by Dr. Amy Williams is the best dialysis lecture I have ever heard. It took the fear out of dialysis for me. I came to understand that with daily or nightly dialysis individuals could function as energetic beings, feeling much better than even before starting dialysis; lecture number 17.

RESEARCH UPDATE Dr. Perrone 2006 PKD conf.

Children when diagnosed before 18 months with ADPKD have better outcome to children diagnosed later in life. A long held belief has been that the earlier the diagnosis of PKD, kidney decline would come sooner. A recent article by Dr. Perrone points out that the earlier the diagnosis the better the prognosis. Doctors are discovering more and more it is early treatment and early control of blood pressure and spilling protein in the urine that will positively affect the health of cystic kidneys.
Blood pressure control held tightly around 100/70 - 110/80 has the best chance for longevity of healthy PKD kidneys. PKD'rs can follow their blood pressure and protein in the urine, and urinary pH with Dipsticks.
Potassium Citrate in animal studies alkalinity was the main factor diminishing kidney cysts. Clinical trials have shown Potassium Citrate's effectiveness in lowering blood pressure. Low urine citrate correlates with high blood pressure. It is ideal to maintain alkalinity early with the diagnosis of cystic organs. As PKD progresses it becomes mandatory to maintain alkalinity. Anything we can do to halt this progression is a flying leap toward health- pH testing papers.
Nanobacteria is it a possible hidden culprit increasing the formation of kidney cysts, kidney stones, liver cysts and cholesterol build up? This article points to potassium citrate or alkalinity successful in halting nanobacteria.
Caffeine - coffee, diet colas, sugared colas, de-caf, chocolate all increase cyst growth. An incidental important finding is that caffeine induces weight gain. Caffeinated drinks are acid producing. Ideally we with PKD should eliminate all caffeine. If you cannot do without caffeine, than flood the body with water eliminating the caffeine through the urine.
Move over Tolvaptan, included in upcoming clinical trials are a number of new not yet released medications for clinical trials-Octreotide, Rapamycin, Potassium Citrate, VLPD, all show diminished cyst growth. Armed with this new arsenal of possible treatments we can nudge that doorway to health so it is wide open.
