Elevated creatinine means the kidneys lose more than two-thirds of their function and begin the process of kidney failure. When hearing kidney failure, you may be at sea and think that uremia is near. In fact, as long as these two things are done well, uremia is still far away.
First, look for the cause of increased creatinine.
There are two causes of creatinine elevation:
One is that creatinine increases slowly to exceed the normal range. This is the progressive progression of kidney disease. In such a case, creatinine is not easy to recover;
The other is the acute progression of chronic kidney disease, in which creatinine increases by more than 50 percent in a week. It is often caused by infection, hypertension, dehydration, nephrotoxic drugs and other factors. After the elimination of acute factors, creatinine can be basically recovered.
Second, to improve blood microcirculation in kidneys.
In inflammatory stage of kidney disease, steroids, immunosuppressants and other drugs are used to control inflammation so as to stop urinary protein and achieve "clinical cure." However, the treatment strategy of renal failure is quite different.
The kidney is a network of capillaries that rely on the microcirculation of capillaries to support life. When chronic kidney failure occurs, the kidney's greatest fear is not inflammation, but problems with blood vessels: high blood pressure and ischemia.
For patients with kidney failure, do not attach too much importance on proteinuria nor creatinine. Don't let protein and creatinine delay the really important treatment: to lower high blood pressure and correct anemia.
Patients with high blood pressure and anemia need ACEI / ARBs (which can increase creatinine and potassium, so monitor the levels timely), calcium channel blockers and so on to lower blood pressure, and erythropoietin and iron to correct anemia.
Don't be afraid to use ACEI or ARBs for fear of creatinine elevation. It is normal for creatinine to increase by 20-30% after administration. Creatinine is not the gold index of renal failure, and its importance is often exaggerated. Such a little side effect may help you keep uremia far away.
In Peking Tung Shin Tang Chinese Medical Hospital, we can also help you lower creatinine and prevent uremia. The treatment we use is mainly Chinese medicine. After about half month’s treatment, you will see remarkable effect. For more information on our hospital and our treatment, please leave a message below or contact online doctor.
