When the renal disease worsen to the renal failure, the patients always face
to do the dialysis, because it is a quick way to lower the high creatinine for
the renal failure patients. However, the side effects of the dialysis make them
want to cut down the dialysis.
High creatinine levels are rarely an independent problem. More often than
not, this issue is a symptom of something more serious. To drop the levels
permanently and improve your overall health, work with your doctor to find the
underlying problem and remedy that.
· Kidney damage and chronic kidney disease are the most common causes. This
damage can be caused by illness, potentially fatal infections, shock, cancer, or
low blood flow.
· Type 2 diabetes is also linked to high creatinine levels.
· Other possible causes include heart failure, dehydration, excessive blood
loss leading to shock, gout, physically strenuous exercise, muscle injuries,
muscle disorders, and burns.
· Patients usually require dialysis when the waste products in their body
become so high that they start to become sick from them. The level of the waste
products usually builds up slowly. Doctors measure several blood chemical levels
to help decide when dialysis is necessary. The two major blood chemical levels
that are measured are the "creatinine level" and the "blood urea nitrogen" (BUN)
level. As these two levels rise, they are indicators of the decreasing ability
of the kidneys to cleanse the body of waste products.
· Doctors use a urine test, the "creatinine clearance," to measure the level
of kidney function. The patient saves urine in a special container for one full
day. The waste products in the urine and in the blood are estimated by measuring
the creatinine. By comparing the blood and urine level of this substance, the
doctor has an accurate idea of how well the kidneys are working. This result is
called the creatinine clearance. Usually, when the creatinine clearance falls to
10-12 cc/minute, the patient needs dialysis.
There are so many Chinese medical therapies which can replace the dialysis,
such as the micro-chinese medicine osmotehrapy. You can send emails to
