Ketosteril Effect On Reducing High Creatinine In Diabetes

It has been reported that diabetes is one of the major cause of kidney failure, other common causes being hypertension and glomerulonephritis. Long term poorly controlled high blood sugar can damage the kidney’s filtration ability and cause high creatinine level in the blood.

About half type 1 diabetes patients will develop into kidney failure within 10 years. As for type 2 diabetes, there are 20% will progress into end stage renal disease within 20 years.

High creatinine means that more than 50% kidney functions have been damaged. When GFR falls below 25, ketosteril can be prescribed by the doctors to help diabetes patients to bring elevated creatinine level down.

Together with low-protein diets, ketosteril can lower creatinine level, reduce proteinuria, alleviate the accumulation of protein-related metabolic wastes, rectify metabolic disorders of calcium and phosphorus, secondary hyperparathyroidism and bone malnutrition, improve complications due to renal dysfunction, slow down illness progression and protect remaining kidney functions.

Ketosteril can regulate sugar metabolic disorder. It has been found that carbohydrate metabolism disorder can be rectified after diabetic nephropathy patients take ketosteril. Insulin resistance begins to reduce, hyperinsulinemia is alleviated and energy generation rate is improved. Therefore ketosteril treatment is very proper for those type 2 diabetes patients that have developed renal failure with high creatinine.

Ketosteril can also rectify metabolic disorder of fat so as to help control high blood pressure which is very important for lowering high creatinine, controlling high blood glucose and slowing down illness progression of diabetes and kidney damages.

Ketosteril needs to be combined with low-protein diets to achieve the expected effects. Daily protein intake for adult patients should be limited within 40g or less. Low-protein diets can much reduce the intake of nitrogen so as to reduce nitrogenous wastes. But ketosteril can help patients avoid malnutrition and other problems due to inadequate protein intake.
