Is Creatinine Level Above 12 A Risk to Life

Kidney is an organ responsible for purifying the blood. When it fails to work, a lot of waste products build up in the blood. Creatinine is one kind of waste products. Is creatinine level above 12 a risk to life?

Creatinine level above 12 is a risk to life.

Normal creatinine level is kept into 0.5-1.2 mg/dL. Now your creatinine level is much higher than the normal range. Because creatinine level does not increase quickly until more than 50% of your kidneys damage, it indicates that your kidneys have been severely damaged so that excessive waste products accumulate in the blood. In such a case, it is likely for you to develop organ failure if you do not cleanse the blood timely, leading to death.

What should you do with creatinine level above 12?

-To start dialysis

Dialysis is the most commonly used treatment for high creatinine level. But it can bring you many side effects and complications, such as skin itch, low blood pressure, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, etc. And you have to go to dialysis center several times a week. That is maybe why many kidney patients do not like dialysis.

-To try Chinese medicine

If you do not want to undergo dialysis, you can try Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine therapies such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Foot Bath, Mai Kang Mixture and various medicinal soup can help expel waste products and toxins from body to reduce their accumulation in the blood. They can also expand blood vessels and remove stasis to increase blood flow into kidneys so that oxygen, essential elements and active ingredients of medicine can go into damaged kidneys to help them recover. In addition, they can reduce blood pressure, lower blood cholesterol level and regulate blood sugar level. In such a good blood environment, the damaged kidneys will regain their ability. As a result, creatinine can be passed out of the body naturally and your creatinine level will be kept into an acceptable range.

Is creatinine level above 12 a risk to life? Yes, it is a risk to life. If you still want to lead a normal life, you should take treatment as early as possible to lower it and improve kidney function.
