Can My Creatinine Be Brought Down
Can my creatinine be brought down? This may be a question of many patients who have kidney disease.
As we know, high creatinine often indicates kidney failure, and that may be why patients always worry about their high creatinine.
What is creatinine?
Creatinine is a metabolic waste of muscle. Our muscles’ metabolism may produce creatinine, and it can also be gotten from the meat we take. In fact, creatinine is a toxin to our body, and almost all creatinine produced by our body will be excreted out in the same day, and creatinine level in blood changes in a stable range.
As we know, kidney has the function of filtration and reabsorption, while creatinine will not be reabsorbed back to blood by kidney tubule, so its level can reflect patient’s kidney function.
Why high creatinine often indicates kidney failure?
Serum creatinine level can be used as a reflection of kidney condition, but it is not exact if patient is in the early stage of kidney disease.
Our kidneys have strong compensation, and if more than half kidney function is normal, our kidneys will be able to complete their work. It is also to say that when patent has high serum creatinine level, it means more than half of his kidney function is damaged, and he already has severe kidney failure at this point.
Can high creatinine be brought down?
High creatinine level is just a reflection of patent’s kidney condition. If patent just want to bring down his high creatinine, it is not hard. Patient can take less meat, and avoid take much exercise, and drinking much water will also be helpful. On the other hand, these measures can just bring down patient’s creatinine level for a short time. To bring down creatinine level fundamentally, patient need to improve his kidney function.
In fact, patient may be told there is no way to improve their damaged kidney function. In fact, there may be no method to repair the necrotic nephrons, but it is possible to improve the damaged nephrons’ condition, and most nephrons in patient’s kidneys are just damaged, so it is possible to improve patient’s kidney function greatly. It is worth mentioning that western medicine is good at controlling symptoms, but it can do a few of things in improving patient’s kidney function. While traditional Chinese medicine is good at this aspect, which aims at improving patient’s overall health condition to treat patient’s disease, but it need a long time to have effect.
Thereby, it is possible to bring down the creatinine level of patient with kidney disease. While if you still have any problem in dealing with this aspect, you can contact us, and we are willing to help you.
