Why are My BUN and Creatinine Levels Still High after Dialysis
Dialysis is a medical procedure through which a person's blood in cleansed of the toxic wastes the kidneys normally would flush out. It is generally used when an individual's kidneys no longer function properly. However, after dialysis treatment, many patients still have high BUN and creatinine levels. Why?
Actually, this is due to dialysis is an imperfect renal replacement therapy. For a person with end stage renal disease (ESRD), their increased levels of BUN and creatinine will decrease temporarily after dialysis treatment. Because dialysis fails to stop the deterioration of kidney failure, with continuous decline of renal function, more toxins like urea nitrogen and creatinine will build up in the blood stream, resulting in elevated levels of BUN and creatinine.
Besides, dialysis can only remove micromolecular toxins but fail to remove macro- and middle-molecular toxins such as β2 microglobulin, cystatin C, homocysteine, retinol binding protein, etc, which may lead to more severe damage to the kidneys.
Is there any treatment for high BUN and creatinine levels after dialysis?
Clear Blood Pollution Therapy is a good choice of treatment due to its advantages as below:
•Comprehensive Blood Purification techniques like hemofiltration, hemoperfusion, plasma exchange, CRRT, immunoadsorption, etc are selectively used to clear up micro-, macro-, and middle-molecular toxins in the body.
• Clear blood pollution therapy can stop the worsening of damaged kidneys, restore the kidney function, and rebuild the immune system. Specific natural treatment methods include Immunotherapy, Chinese herbal remedy, acupuncture, and medicated bath. With this treatment, dialysis frequency can be reduced gradually. Eventually, patients can get rid of dialysis. High BUN and creatinine levels are reduced to normal range forever.
