Q:
I have had diabetes since I was 12 years old. My last blood test shows my creatinine 2.55 and urea 41. Now, my GFR is 30. I am also taking anti-hypertensive agents to control my high blood pressure. I want to know which stage my kidney disease is and what I can do to improve my kidney function.
A:
According to GFR, chronic kidney disease is divided into five stages. GFR 30 means you just have stage 4 chronic kidney disease, which is more likely to due to your long-term diabetes along with high blood pressure.
Now, your creatinine is 2.55 and urea is 41. This means excessive waste products build up in your body to cause further kidney damage as well as damage to other organs. In this condition, only if your kidney illness is reversed or at least stops worsening, you can still live a relatively healthy life.
How to control you condition? Well control of your primary diseases and repairing the damaged kidney cells can be helpful.
Treat diabetes and high blood pressure: At present, both diabetes and high blood pressure have been the leading cause of chronic kidney disease. If left untreated, they can cause further kidney damage or even kidney failure. Fortunately, in most cases, they can be controlled by a well planned diet, if necessary medications. If you are experiencing refractory diabetes or hypertension, you can ask more suggestions from the online doctor.
Kidney repair therapies: Since kidney damage occurs as a consequence of less blood flowing on kidneys, the key of the treatment is to extend the blood vessels and increase the blood to flow into the kidneys. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy just has such an effect. In addition, it can also help enhance the damaged kidney cells’ self-curative ability. With these effects, patients’ kidney function can be improved largely.
During the whole treatment, a personalized diet and healthy lifestyle is also very important. Any question about your treatment or diet, feel free to let us know.
