Q:
I am an Indian man aged 65. The following is my recent blood test results: urea is 54.6mg/dl, creatinine is 1.16mg/dl, GFR is 58, uric acid is 6.15mg/dl, random urine microalbumin is 0.3mg/dl. I want to know does the high urea indicate kidney disease? Can anyone help me analyze my test results and what should I do?
A:
The normal urea in the blood ranges from 5-30mg/dl, so we can see your urea level is high. If there is only high blood urea, it does not definitely mean kidney disease because the diet has great impact on the production of urea in the blood. The GFR can better reflect your kidney problems and it can be used in clinic to measure kidney functions and the severity of kidney damages. The normal GFR is approximately 100. Your GFR is 58 and it indicates stage 3 CKD (chronic kidney disease). CKD can cause damages of renal tissues and loss of kidney functions, that is why you develop high urea, high creatinine, high uric acid and abnormal albumin in urine, etc.
CKD stage 3 has a GFR of 30-59 and your GFR means that you just entered the 3th stage from stage 2, therefore there is still great chance to reverse renal damages and improve renal functions. For your current illness conditions, I recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It is an external application of Chinese medicines and it can help repair damaged renal filtration system and other functional tissues so as to recover normal renal structure and renal functions. When renal damages are repaired and renal functions are improved, GFR will be improved, high urea, high creatinine and high uric acid can be lowered, protein in urine can be reduced and other symptoms will all be relieved.
Chinese medicines have a lot in common with Indian medicine system, so you need not worry about the safety of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It is natural and safe and cause no harms or side effects to the patients.
