Treatment Options When GFR Went from 19 to 16

If GFR declines from 19 to 16, it may cause patients to suffer from more symptoms and discomforts. Fortunately, since glomerular filtration rate is still higher than 15 ml/min, patients still stay in stage 4 kidney disease. Therefore, some treatment options can still save patients’ kidneys and improve their life quality.

However, patients may need to take Chinese medicines for long time, so they can get effective and obvious therapeutic effects.

2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

This therapy is one innovation of TCM and it is one externally applied therapy. Because it works on the kidney location area, it can reduce the working time of Chinese medicine largely. Thereby, patients can see the therapeutic effects in short time.

Nearly all types of chronic kidney disease are caused by harmful substances in blood circulation or less blood flow into kidneys. This therapy focuses on normalizing blood circulation before treating kidney disease. Once blood circulation can work normally, diseased kidneys can get enough nutritions and oxygen. Then, kidney cells get recovery gradually.
