Is It Necessary to Have Dialysis for CKD Patients with creatinine 4

The patients who have the CKD know that the creatinine is a directly reaction of the kidney function. most of them are interested in is it necessary for them to do the dialysis if their creatinine is 4.

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.

The doctor uses other indicators of the patient's status to decide about the need for dialysis. If the patient is experiencing a major inability to rid the body of excess water, or is complaining of problems with the heart, lungs, or stomach, or difficulties with taste or sensation in their legs, dialysis may be indicated even though the creatinine clearance has not fallen to the 10-12 cc/minute level.


I want to tell you, the dialysis is not the only option to you. Beside the dialysis, there are still various kinds of the treatments can deal with the CKD with creatinine 4, for example the Chinese medial therapy. if you want to know them clearly, you can send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com, or add my wahtsapp +86 13383015760.
