Dialysis for Lowering High Creatinine Level

Many kidney disease patients will inevitably have high creatinine especially when more than 50% kidney functions have been lost. Persistent high level of creatinine will cause a series of symptoms and discomforts such as nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, etc, therefore lowering creatinine is one important aspect for treating kidney diseases.

Many renal patients with high creatinine have to rely on dialysis to lower their creatinine and sustain life. Dialysis can replace the failed kidneys to replace excessive creatinine, uric acid, urea nitrogen and other toxic wastes from the blood so as to reduce high creatinine and purify the blood.

The obvious and quick creatinine-lowering effects of dialysis have to be affirmed, but the effect is temporary and patients have to take several dialysis every week because creatinine is the metabolic waste of muscles and it will be produced continuously, therefore patients have to depend on dialysis. What is more, long term dialysis can cause a series of complications and side effects and the residual kidney functions will be gradually lost, not to mention the huge cost of dialysis from the long run.

Is dialysis a must for high creatinine? Actually dialysis is not a must if the patient only has high creatinine without any other complications. However if the patient has severe illness conditions even thought his creatinine is not very high, dialysis should be started to get rid of risk factors and stabilize the illness conditions.

Is dialysis the only way to lower high creatinine? Dialysis is one conventional therapy for renal failure with high creatinine, but it is not the only way and it is not the best way to lower creatinine.

The key point for lowering creatinine is to block further pathological damages and protect remaining functional renal units and reverse renal intrinsic cells that are still reversible so as to gradually extend intervals of dialysis and in the end get rid of dialysis, improve life quality and life expectancy. So long as certain kidney functions are repaired can creatinine be lowered naturally.

Micro-Chinese medicines have the functions of promoting blood circulation, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradation of extracellular matrix so as can help block further renal fibrosis and slow down illness progression. What is more, this therapy can also provide necessary nutritions to nourish renal tissues and promote their repairing and recovery.
