Creatinine Requirement for Dialysis
In clinic, patients don’t need to begin dialysis unless their creatinine level has raised to dangerous levels. Dialysis is also called artificial kidney, and it can maintain end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients’ basic life. Thereby, do you know the creatinine requirement for dialysis?
If you have serious complications or Diabetic Nephropathy, you should begin dialysis early.
In one condition, compared with other types of kidney disease, Diabetic Nephropathy worsens quickly and causes some dangerous complications like heart disease. In the other condition, ESRD patients are more likely to have some life-threatening problems such as hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis and uncontrolled hypertension. These conditions usually require patients to begin dialysis, when their creatinine level increases to 5.0 mg/dl or higher.
If you don’t have serious complications, you can delay dialysis treatment.
In some cases, kidney failure patients can still live with their kidneys relatively healthily, and high creatinine level is their only problem. At this moment, they don’t need to begin dialysis until their creatinine level is more than 8.0mg/dl.
From the above analysis, we can conclude three points to accept dialysis later or even avoid dialysis. They are well control of kidney disease complications, reducing high creatinine level and relatively high level of kidney function. Ask yourself whether you have done well in these three aspects. If not, you can learn to achieve them today.
1. Manage your complications actively: Effective medicines, either western medicine or Chinese medicine, can often help control corresponding problems effectively. If you have one or more refractory complications, you can follow the doctor online to manage your problems here.
2. Reduce high creatinine level: In addition to dialysis, ketosteril, herbal medicine full bath, enema therapy, Cycle Therapy, Cupping, etc, all can help reduce high creatinine level. Try to figure out which treatment is suitable for you.
3. Increase kidney function: Kidney function level is the most reliable indicator to reflect how well kidneys are working. Only if it keeps in a high level, can patients live without dialysis safely. So far, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Blood Pollution Therapy, Immunotherapy and Stem Cell Therapy have used to increase kidney function level or GFR level. Make sure you should take which treatment.
