Chronic Kidney Failure
Kidneys are controlling of filtering blood and excreting metabolic wastes from body. However, once they are damaged, they can not work properly to play their role. Hence, a lot of wastes will build up in blood resulting in high levels of creatinine, BUN, anemia and other heath problems.
Massage and Chronic Kidney Failure
When a practitioner massages on soft tissues, the acupoints are activated thus making all parts of the body coherent and in connection with each other through a system of acupoints. This can the stimulate blood circulation to promote the clearance of waste products in blood. Also, it can boost the immune system to reduce the frequent infections in Chronic Renal Failure.
However, in some cases of Chronic Renal Failure, the creatinine levels will rise. That is because massage can mobilize creatinine( a muscle enzyme after all), and this mobilized creatinine will enter the blood circulation for subsequent excretion. Therefore, the creatinine level will be a higher for a while.
However, the patients with Chronic Renal Failure should keep a correct understanding on creatinine. It is not toxic and it has non-significant effects on body metabolism at all. Therefore, the patients can neglect the transient increasing in creatinine level.
