BUN and Creatinine Levels in Stage 4 Kidney Failure
2014-09-10 09:17
BUN (blood urea nitrogen), creatinine and GFR (glomerular filtration rate) are always used in clinic, reflecting how well your kidneys are working. How about the condition in Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Failure? You can get a general understanding from this article and get some suggestions. Any questions, you can email to kidney-symptoms@hotmail.com or contact our experts online for free help.
How serious is Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Failure?
Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Failure (CKF) has advanced kidney damage with a severe decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to 15-30 ml/min. It is likely someone with stage 4 CKD will need dialysis or a kidney transplant in the near future.
BUN and creatinine levels in Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Failure
In Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Failure, the serum creatinine level ranges from 442ummol/L to 707ummol/L. Blood Urea Nitrogen level is at least higher than the normal range (7-20 mg/dL in adults, and 5-18 mg/dL in children). In some cases, Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Failure patients can have high creatinine level but normal BUN level. That’s why a BUN-to-creatinine ratio is taken as a more accurate indicator of kidney function.
How to treat Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Failure naturally?
1. Maintain a good diet
At this stage, your kidneys cannot filter excessive wastes and toxins adequately. You should avoid high quantity of protein intake that will produce more wastes and burden the kidneys. In addition, low salt diet is also required, because high high sodium level in the blood will cause swelling and high blood pressure. You should take more fresh fruits and vegetables to ensure the vitamins and calories intake.
2. Develop a healthy life habit
It include proper exercise and avoiding alcohol and smoking.
3. Improve kidney function
Can medicines achieve this goal? I am afraid not. Over-the-counter drugs or dialysis can only help you relieve some symptoms so as to slow down the progression of kidney damage. Therefore, I recommend you to take Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy that is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
This therapy can enhance the kidneys’ self-repairing ability by expanding the blood vessels. With improved blood circulation, the kidney function can be improved to discharge more wastes and toxins, including creatinine and BUN.

Our Treatment Effect
Mouse over the picture, it can be magnified.
You can take a look at this patient's report. His creatinine was 1028 and urea level was 39.7 on 2018-12-11; creatinine level was reduced to 331 and urea was 16.1 on 2019-1-5. After about 25 days' treatment in our hospital, his creatinine level was reduced by 697, and urea was reduced by 23.6. Hope his condition gets better and better.
Say goodbye to dialysis
Our Treatment effect
Proteinuria is a common symptom of kidney disease
Mouse over the picture, it can be magnified.
It can make your urine foamy. Although it does not make you feel uncomfortable, it can impair your renal function and make your kidney disease worse. Conventional treatment such as steroids and immunosuppressants can hardly make it negative. In our hospital, systemic Chinese medicine treatment can help you turn it negative. Look at this picture, bubbles in urine become less and less with our treatment going on.
