Is It Possible To Get High Creatinine Levels Down
High creatinine may indicate patient with kidney disease has severe damage in his kidney, and is it possible to get high creatinine level down?
Is high creatinine always a indication of severe kidney damage?
Creatinine is the metabolic product of muscle, and it should be filtered out by our kidney. Creatinine level in our blood can be affected by many factors, so except for kidney damage, high creatinine can also be caused by other reasons. For example, if patient has taken much meat in his diet, it may cause him to have high creatinine, and if patient has taken strenuous exercise, his creatinine will also rise, and that may also cause him to have high creatinine.
So patient’s high creatinine may also be caused by other factors, and that may not be severe condition. Besides, high creatinine caused by these factors will not be persistent.
Can high creatinine caused by kidney damage by gotten down?
For patients with kidney disease, when their kidney disease has progressed into a certain stage, his glomerular filtration rate (GFR) will decrease to a certain degree, and lots of wastes and toxins that should be filtered out by kidney will accumulate in patient’s blood, among which creatinine is an important substance to assess patient’s kidney condition.
But because our kidney has strong compensation, high creatinine will not appear until more than half kidney function has damaged.
So, to get down high creatinine, patient needs to improve his kidney function. Thereby, whether high creatinine can be gotten down is determined by whether kidney function can be improved.
In fact, when patient’s GFR has lowered down, there are lots of nephrons are in a damaged state, and if patient can accept right treatment, such as appropriate treatment of Chinese medicine, these damaged nephrons are able to be repaired, and patient’s creatinine can be lowered down.
