Polycystic Kidney Problem With Creatinine 3.5

Patient: I have polycystic kidney problem and my creatinine level is 3.5. Is high creatinine caused by PKD, how to lower it and prevent PKD progress into renal failure?

Expert: PKD patients often will have elevated creatinine in their blood with the continuous illness progression. The root cause is impairment of kidney functions. Under normal circumstances, creatinine comes from metabolism of muscles and foods and it can be discharged and released into urine through the kidneys. PKD can alter normal renal structure and cause loss of kidney functions. When renal filtration ability is affected, creatinine and other metabolic wastes can not be discharged efficiently. Creatinine will accumulate in the blood and cause high creatinine.

Creatinine 3.5 is not serious enough to begin dialysis treatment, but it means more than 50% kidney functions are lost and it requires timely and proper treatment to prevent further deterioration and preserve residual kidney functions.

Knowing the pathogenesis of high creatinine in PKD, effective treatment to lower high creatinine and and treat PKD should include the following aspects---shrinking renal cysts, preventing cyst rupture, repairing renal damages and improving renal filtration functions.

From this respect, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a good treatment option because it can help shrink renal cysts step by step and gradually repair damaged renal tissues and improve kidney functions. It has the functions of expanding blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradation of extracellular matrix so as to prevent further worsening of kidney functions. It can also activate blood flow in the kidneys and at the same time provide adequate blood, oxygen and other necessary nutritions to damaged renal tissues so as to promote self-repairing and regeneration of new renal functional cells.

When renal filtration functions are improved, excess creatinine in the blood can be discharged and high creatinine can be lowered naturally.

Besides, patients need to pay more attention in their daily life to avoid strenuous activities, avoid foods and drinks that can stimulate the rapid growth of renal cysts such as coffee, alcohol, chocolate, sea products, spicy foods, etc.
