Question: I was diagnosed with PKD several years ago, and now my creatinine level is 1.7 mg/dl. And I also have hypertension, the doctor only give me medicines to control the high blood pressure and my back pain. But what should I do with my creatinine? I am worried.

Answer: I get your question from our website, please don’t worry, I will try my best to help you. I am a doctor from kidney disease specialized hospital in China.

You said you have PKD, which is a genetic kidney disease with numerous kidney cyst in kidneys, and the kidney cysts will be increased and get enlarged over time, which will cause some severe damage to kidneys. When the kidneys are damaged severely, it will cause the high creatinine level in blood.

Creatinine is the waste product of muscle metabolism, and it is mainly excreted by kidneys. When the kidneys are damaged severely or the kidney function is less than 50%, it will cause the high creatinine level in blood. Your creatinine level is 1.7, which is much higher than the normal level 0.5-1.2 mg/dl. In this condition, you need to have treatment to lower the high creatinine level and reduce the kidney burden.

You said your doctor just give you medicines for the high blood pressure and back pain, this is a common treatment in western countries. For most of the western doctors, they can only give medicine to help patients to control the symptoms, but they have no treatment for the kidney damage. When PKD patients develop into kidney failure, they have to start dialysis or kidney transplant, which are the final treatment for end stage kidney failure.

Since your creatinine level is not so high, and you don’t have any severe symptoms, so we recommend you to take our Chinese therapy for you disease.
