Natural Treatment to Lower High Creatinine and BUN

Creatinine is the metabolin of muscles in the body and it will be discharged out of the body with urination through the filtration of the kidneys. In case of kidney diseases and declined renal functions, creatinine will accumulate and poison the body; therefore the level of serum creatinine is one major measure of kidney function.

BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is another important indicator of kidney function. It is the end metabolic product of protein and normally is released into urine through the glomerulus. However the level of BUN is easily affected by daily diets especially the protein intake.

The measuring of BUN and creatinine is of greater significance and if both are higher than the normal range, it indicates the kidneys have been severely damaged. Generally speaking, the normal value of creatinine is about 0.5-1.2mg/dl and the normal range of BUN is about 2.86-7.14mmol/l.

Since we have know the root cause of high creatinine and BUN, the nature treatments should aim at repairing damaged renal tissues and improving kidney functions.

Western therapy mainly adopt hormones and immunosuppressant which are effective at reducing creatinine and BUN, however these indicators will once again increase once the medicines are stopped, not to mention the side effects caused by long term intake of hormones.

Compared with hormones and immunosuppressant, herbal medicines have relatively slower but more durable effects. What is more, it will not cause so many side effects and harms to the body as that of hormones. Herbal medicines have the functions of dilating blood vessel, anti-coagulation, anti-inflammation and degradation of extracellular matrix so that it can alleviate hypoxia and ischemia in the kidneys. Herbal medicines can treat both symptoms and what cause these symptoms that are both the primary and secondary aspects of kidney diseases. When the kidney functions are improved, creatinine and BUN will be lowered naturally. What is more, herbal medicines can help improve the immunity and make patients stronger.
