Treatment For Nephrotic Syndrome With Creatinine 3.15

What is the treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome patients with creatinine 3.15? When one is diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, he will be prescribed with various medicines like prednisone, cyclophosphamide and cellcept to deal with their problem. These steroid medicines work well and help to bring illness condition into control effectively. They are helpful and necessary for Nephrotic Syndrome, but for one whose creatinine level has increased to 3.15, some other treatment measures are also needed aside from them.

How to treat Nephrotic Syndrome with creatinine 3.15 effectively?

Creatinine 3.15 is much higher than the reference value 0.5-1.3. We know serum creatinine level does not increase until a half of kidney function is impaired. Therefore, for Nephrotic Syndrome patients, creatinine 3.15 indicates severe kidney damages. Under such a condition, tight control of symptoms will be only one part of the whole treatment.

In general, for Nephrotic Syndrome patients with creatinine 3.15, aside from controlling symptoms, they also need to:

1. Repair injured kidney intrinsic cells to improve kidney function

In an affected kidney, there are healthy, injured and dead kidney intrinsic cells. Dead kidney cells can not be revived, but injured kidney intrinsic cells can be repaired effectively through activating them and strengthening their self-repairing ability. As for this point, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can be applied to achieve this goal.(Consult our doctors online for more inforamtion about Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy)

2. Avoid foods that may bring extra burden on their kidneys

Kidneys are responsible for keeping potassium level and phosphorus level in normal range. When kidney function is affected seriously, potassium level and phosphorus level in blood becomes higher. Therefore, avoiding high potassium foods and high phosphorus foods will be very necessary. Besides, they also need to limit protein intake and protein intake to protect residual kidney tissues.

3. Limit fluid intake

One of the dominant symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome is swelling which occurs when excess fluid build up in the body, so limiting fluid intake is also necessary.

4. Prevent cold and infection actively

Cold and infection are the two leading causes of relapse of illness condition. What is worse, it may cause acute progression and lead to acute kidney failure.

5. Develop regular life style and quit bad living habits

Avoid staying up, go to bed early and quit bad living habits like drinking alcohol and smoking. All of these will do good for Nephrotic Syndrome patients.

Creatinine 3.15 is not serious enough for Nephrotic Syndrome patients to start dialysis, but if not treated with overall treatment, it will develops to end stage kidney failure quickly. Therefore, a comprehensive treatment is imperative.
