People on Dialysis: High Creatinine and Sodium, Nausea and Vomiting

A:

Creatinine 2.23 means large part of your friend’s kidney function has lost. Without a healthy kidney, he is more likely to have electrolyte imbalance and too much wastes depositing in the body. In view of this, we can know low kidney function is the root cause of his symptoms including high creatinine level, high sodium level, nausea and vomiting, while the electrolyte imbalance and waste deposition are direct causes. Therefore, to remit his condition, the treatments including diet and medical remedies should depend on these causes.

Firstly, a low-salt diet is required for him, because extra sodium can cause or aggravate his swelling. What’s more, he had better consume moderate high-quality protein rather than high-quantity protein and control the intake of phosphorus or potassium if his phosphorus or potassium level is higher than normal.

Secondly, nausea or vomiting may be caused by too much wastes building up in the kidney or the dialyzate flowing too quickly. Therefore, making sure the dialysis is sufficient and the dialyzate flows correctly is very important to ease his nausea and vomiting.

Finally, the most important step is to improve kidney function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, an external herbal application, aims to increase blood flow on the kidney so as to transport enough blood and oxygen to damaged kidney cells, enhance patients’ self-curative ability and correct their immune system. After a period of treatment, patients’ kidney function and life quality can be improved largely.
