High creatinine and kidney
Creatinine is released to the blood stream after muscle metabolism and under normal circumstance it will be discharged and passed into urine through the kidneys. Creatinine level is an important indicator of kidney functions and high creatinine means that kidneys are damaged and renal filtration functions are impaired.
Nettle leaf and high creatinine level
Nettle leaf, also known as stinging nettle leaf, which is often taken as tea can help naturally lower high creatinine in the blood. Nettle have been used to treat high creatinine with severely diminished kidney functions. It is effective at lowering high creatinine and delaying the illness progression.
Proper dosage of nettle leaf tea is 3-4 cups per day. 2-4g/d and 3 time each day.
Some patients can have some mild side effects after taking nettle leaf tea such as allergic reactions or stomach discomforts.
However if your are going to give birth to a baby or you are taking drugs for blood-thinning or high blood pressure, you’d better not take nettle leaf.
Nettle leaf and kidney
Besides lowering high serum creatinine, nettle leaf can help remove other wastes and toxins from the kidneys so as to cleanse the kidneys and blood stream. It can also improve kidney functions.
Nettle leaf has the function of anti-inflammation by preventing the production of inflammatory substances in the body. Nettle leaf tea can also improve urine volume so as to help wash out more bacteria and infections from the kidneys and urinary tract. It is a good choice for treating kidney infections and urinary tract infections.
Nettle leaf has diuretic effect and can help remove excessive fluid from the body. It can also help prevent and treat kidney stones.
Beside nettle leaf, the seeds of stinging nettles also have significant effects on lowering high creatinine level.
At last I need to remind patients it is necessary to consult practitioners before taking nettle leaf especially if you are taking other prescribed drugs or if you have some other comorbid diseases.
