What If Creatinine Level Is 6.5 And What Are The Treatments
For patient with kidney disease, high creatinine is a very common condition, which often indicates severe damage in patient’s kidney.
Creatinine is a metabolic waste of muscle, and it is a toxin to our body, so it needs to be secreted out by kidney. But when patient’ s kidney function is too low to filtrate out the metabolic wastes adequately, patient’s creatinine level will be higher than normal.
What is patient’s creatinine level is 6.5?
Creatinine can be produced continuously, and our kidney can filtrate out it at the same time, so creatinine level in our body changes in a stable range, and it is 0.5~1.2mg/dL.
While our kidney has strong metabolic ability and strong compensation, and patient’s creatinine level will not be higher than normal unless more than half kidney function is damaged. Thereby, when patient has a little higher creatinine level which is caused by kidney damage, that means patient’s kidney function has been damaged severely.
As patient’s kidney function goes down, there will be more creatinine accumulating in patient’s blood, which cause patient’s creatinine level to be higher. In fact, when patients’ creatinine level reaches 5, most patients will need dialysis at this point. So, patient with 6.5 creatinine level may be already in the end stage 5 of kidney disease, and patient may be in dialysis at this point.
What are the treatments when patient’s creatinine level is 6.5?
As we have said, patient may be in dialysis when his creatinine level is 6.5, or patient can choose kidney transplant at this point.
Besides, Chinese medicine is important at this point for patient to protect and improve his kidney function, because Chinese medicine can improve patient’s overall condition by regulating his body function systemically. So, if patient’s kidney function can be protected and improved, patient’s lifetime will be prolonged effectively.
Kidney disease is dangerous for our body health, and you should deal with it as early as possible. And if you have any trouble in dealing with kidney disease, you can give us a message, and we will do what we can to help you.
