Is A Creatinine Level of 3.4 Fatal

Kidney patients often face the same problem, that is high creatinine level, which means their kidney function begins to decline. Is a creatinine level of 3.4 fatal? If you would like to know the answer, please go on reading.

The normal creatinine level ranges from 0.5 to 1.2 mg/dL. Creatinine 3.4 is nearly three times normal level. If you can not lower creatinine level, it will increase gradually and then cause further damage to the kidneys. But it is not fatal. Generally speaking, kidney disease is not fatal if you can receive treatment to control your symptoms, so it is unnecessary for you to worry about whether it is fatal or not. What you should do is to lower creatinine level and protect your kidney function.

Creatinine is discharged out of the body with urine. If you do not have edema, drinking enough water can increase urine output so as to decrease serum creatinine level. But if you have edema, you should limit the intake of water. Besides water, you should pay attention to the protein intake, because some protein such as meat can produce creatinine so as to lead to high creatinine level, but it does not mean you should avoid meat. You can consume moderate of them to satisfy the need of body. In addition, you should avoid strenuous activity.

The above measures can help you control the creatinine level, but they can not treat your kidney disease from the root. Once you give up these habits, your creatinine level rises again. Only when your kidney function improves can you creatinine level be stable. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help your kidneys to repair themselves by restraining kidney inflammation, improving blood circulation, stoping kidney fibrosis and providing various nutrients.
