Is Creatinine 1.4 Dangerous for IgA Nephropathy Patients
Serum creatinine level can help reveal how well kidneys are functioning, but it is not so sensitive to detect kidney damage. This is because creatinine level usually won’t be higher than the normal unless more than 50% of kidney function has been lost. Creatinine 1.4 is higher than the upper limit of normal serum creatinie level. Is it dangerous for patients with IgA Nephropathy?
Fortunately, creatinine 1.4 still doesn’t reach the dangerous level. Since it is slightly high, patients may have no obvious symptoms except hematuria and upper respiratory infections, both of which always occur along with the onset of IgA Nephropathy. However, if uncontrolled effectively, serum creatinine level will increase quickly and cause some other problems like nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, fatigue, and so on.
Now, we can know how important it is to lower elevated creatinine level for IgA Nephropathy patients.
Firstly, reducing the formation of creatinine can help lower creatinine level in the blood. Creatinine is generated from creatine, which is usually found in meat and creatine supplement. This is why IgA Nephropathy patients need to control the intake of meat.
Secondary, it is necessary to increase the excretion amount of creatinine through kidneys. Oral Chinese medicine, western medicine, Medicated Bath, Cycle Therapy, Enema Therapy, Hot Compress Therapy, and so on, are also helpful to lower creatinine level and cleanse the internal environment. The detailed treatment plan should depend on patients’ illness condition, so if you want to get a detailed treatment plan, you can contact us through emailing to kidneyservice@hotmail.com.
The last but not the least, only if kidney function is improved fundamentally, can creatinine level be lowered effectively. That is to say, IgA Nephropathy patients should also seek some treatments to remove immune complexes and reverse kidney damage.
