Ketosteril Fails to Reduce Creatinine 9.5: What Should I Do
“My GFR is 13 ml/min, I am taking 6 ketosteril tablets a day, and my creatinine level is 9.5. However, this medicine fails to lower my creatinine. What other treatments can I take?” According to this kidney patient’s description, we can know his creatinine level has been quite high, so some systemic treatments are needed.
Firstly, we had better learn more about ketosteril.
The medicine should be taken along with a low-protein diet, and it is used when glomerular filtration rate is less than 25 ml/min. It can mainly prevent and treat disorders caused by protein metabolism disorders for kidney patients, and patients are recommended to take 4~8 tablets every time and three times one day. Through reducing the products of metabolic waste, ketosteril can also help lower high creatinine level in the blood. However, in some cases, the effect isn’t so obvious that patients need to take some alternative medicines or treatments.
Alternative therapies to ketosteril to reduce creatinine 9.5
In China, it indicates kidney disease has aggravated into uremic stage, when serum creatinine level is higher than 8.0 mg/dl. Creatinine 9.5 is higher than this boardline, so only depending on ketosteril is not enough. Two treatment options may be helpful to lower high creatinine level quickly. (Consult the doctor online from Kidney Service China directly through the dialog box in the right corner, so you can know which one is suitable for you.)
1. Dialysis: It can remove small molecular waste products including creatinine from the body quickly, so dialysis is able to lower high creatinine level efficiently. However, only using this therapy, patients must live with it for the rest of their life.
2. Clear Blood Pollution Therapy: Compared with dialysis, it needs a relatively longer time to play its effect. With the help of blood purification methods and Chinese medicines, this therapy can also repair damaged kidney cells.
