High Potassium, High Creatinine 12.3, Dialysis For 3 Months

Patient: I have stage 5 kidney disease and my potassium is very high, creatinine is also very high as 12.3. I have been on dialysis for 3 months. How long will I have to have dialysis to lower high potassium and high creatinine level? Is there other alternative treatment that can help me get rid of dialysis.

Expert: For your current illness conditions, high creatinine 12.3, high potassium, dialysis is necessary because excess creatinine accumulation in the blood can poison the body and high blood potassium can cause cardiac arrhythmias or even threaten the patient’s life.

You have been on dialysis for 3 months, that is not very long. If you still have fairly urine output, there is still chance to get rid of dialysis if high creatinine and high potassium can be lowered and kidney functions can be further improved.

The key point to lower high potassium, high creatinine and get rid of dialysis is to repair renal damages and improve kidney functions. When renal functions are recovered, potassium, creatinine and other excess electrolytes and metabolic wastes and toxins can be removed through renal excretion. And when renal functions are improved, patients need not to rely on the artificial kidney---dialysis to sustain their life.

Then how to repair renal damages and improve kidney functions? Immunotherapy is the answer. Though it can not help kidney failure patients to get rid of dialysis abruptly, it can gradually restore kidney functions so as to help patients reduce the frequency and shorten the duration of each dialysis. And it is not impossible that some patients can in the end get rid of dialysis.

Immunotherapy combines both Chinese medicines, western medicines and advanced medical technologies. Western medicines can help ease symptoms and stabilize illness conditions; Chinese medicines can help repair damaged renal tissues and recover normal renal structures and advanced medical technologies can greatly enhance the efficacy of these medicines and treatments.
