What Precautions Need with Creatinine 6.1, Urea 123 and Hemoglobin 7.5
Serum creatinine and urea are common blood tests that can reveal kidney condition, while hemoglobin is also one blood test that can reflect whether the body is producing red blood cells normally. Creatinine 6.1 and urea 123 are caused by low kidney function, and hemoglobin 7.5 is associated with renal anemia.
To protect the remaining kidney functioning cells and alleviate renal anemia, some precautions are needed. They are:
1. Follow a low-protein diet
Urea is the terminal waste product of protein metabolism. Urea 123 has been quite higher than the normal value. In this condition, patients should control their protein intake tightly. Generally, when kidneys are damaged severely, patients are recommended to reduce their daily protein intake to 0.6~0.8 g/kg body weight. What’s more, patients should make sure at least half of their protein intake comes from high-quality protein.
2. Avoid creatine supplement
Creatinine is generated from creatine, which can provide energy during physical activity. Many people especially athletes use creatine supplement to improve their performance in exercise. From this point, patients with creatinine 6.1 should avoid strenuous exercise and creatine supplement.
3. Eat more foods rich in iron
In quite a number of cases, renal anemia is due to iron deficiency, so foods rich in iron or even iron supplement is needed to stimulate the body to make more red blood cells. This can increase the hemoglobin level to some extent.
4. Prevent infections
Infection can worsen kidney disease patients’ illness condition easily, so these patients should keep a good personal hygiene and try to not go to public places. A clean environment can help maintain a good mood and physical health.
5. Take effective treatments to improve kidney function
At present, some therapies are able to repair damaged but not necrotic kidney cells and improve kidney function. Therefore, patients should choose one useful therapy to improve their medical condition with doctor’s guidance.
In severe cases, patients may also need to take Blood Purification methods and accept EPO treatment. If you need more professional advice for yourself, you can contact us online timely.
