How can I Reduce My Serum Creatinine 5.1

Serum creatinine is creatinine concentration in the blood stream and high creatinine might be shown in patient’s routine blood test when they have kidney problems and it is commonly used in clinic to measure kidney functions and severity of renal damages.

Though there are individual differences of serum creatinine according to age, gender, race and muscle mass, creatinine 5.1 is much higher than the normal range and it means that patients already have seriously impaired kidney functions and more than 75% of their renal functional units have been damaged.

Therefore effective and proper treatments should be received to prevent further renal damages, improve kidney functions so as to help reduce creatinine 5.1 down.

First, patients need to make clear what caused their renal damages, for example, weather they have years’ hypertension, diabetes or other health issues. Timely measures should be taken to rectify and reverse the underlying cause of renal damages so as to preserve residual renal functions.

Secondly, seek immediate ways to get excessive creatinine and other harmful wastes out of the blood, weather it is ketosteril, dialysis or herbal medicines such as rhubarb, astragalus membranaceus, cordyceps sinensis and tripterygium wilfordii, to mention just a few here. Herbal medicines and dialysis can be combined to reduce high creatinine and make the effects last long.

Proper daily eating can help reduce creatinine 5.1 down or at least prevent further increase. Vegetarian diet which contains a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits and less meat products is good for controlling high creatinine. Though the metabolism of the meat we eat produce just small amount of creatinine, controlling meat intake can reduce strains to serum creatinine and kidneys’ filtration.

Besides the current serum creatinine level, patients should pay more attention to the trend of creatinine level, weather it is upward or downward which means that the kidney functions are become worse or better and it is good to measure the effects of creatinine-lowering medicines, diets and treatments.
