Should I Start Dialysis At Creatinine Level 8

Creatinine level 8 is extremely higher than the normal range. Dialysis is a common method to remove toxins and wastes from the blood. Well, should dialysis be started with creatinine level 8?

High creatinine level will not increase until more than a half of kidney function has been lost. Creatinine level 8 means little kidney function has left. Generally speaking, dialysis will be suggested when the creatinine level reaches to about 5 in many countries. In fact, whether to start dialysis should depend on the different specific medical conditions of different people. The level of creatinine is not the only factor to start dialysis. Some patients have to take dialysis even if their creatinine level is not very high because the toxins in their body influence other organs like heart. However, others have not begun dialysis even though the creatinine level is high. This is because they have no serious complications.

Therefore, we cannot say all people with creatinine level 8 should begin dialysis. In addition, other natural remedies can also help patients get rid of dialysis.

1.natural food

Berries like cranberries, blueberries and strawberries contain rich vitamin C, which is proven to have an effect on increasing kidney filtration rate. This is able to eliminate more creatinine from the body.

Cucumber and bitter gourd both can stimulate the kidney to produce more urine, carrying away more waste products. This helps reduce high creatinine level.

2.Natural herbs

Some herbs like nettle leaf tea, cinnamon, dandelion and chamomile can all have function of strengthening impaired kidneys, evacuating creatinines.

3.Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

This therapy is on the basis of traditional Chinese Medicine but it is used externally. According to patients’ specific medical conditions, herbs are chosen and the active ingredients in this therapy can repair kidney damage and improve renal function by dilating blood vessel, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix and providing nutrients for damaged kidneys. In this way, high creatinine level can be lowered effectively and radically due to enhanced renal function. Moreover, those who start dialysis can reduce dialysis frequency or even avoid dialysis.
