If you have kidney disease, it is likely for you to suffer from high creatinine level. Is a high creatinine level dangerous?

Let’s see what is creatinine and why creatinine level increases once kidney fails.

Blood creatinine is mainly from meat we consume and muscle metabolism. Healthy kidneys take creatinine as wastes, so it removes it out of the body in the urine. Under normal circumstance, one kidney can make the creatinine level normal. When more than half your kidney function loses, creatinine level increases.

The danger of high creatinine level

Now I can give you the answer to the question. The accumulated creatinine in the body is dangerous. Because high creatinine level may affect the metabolism of sodium, potassium, fluid and other electrolytes. It may also cause metabolic acidosis. As a result, people with high creatinine level often have symptoms like headache, weakness, poor appetite, swelling, heart failure, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, frequent urination and so on.

How to lower creatinine level?

If your creatinine level is very high, dialysis is needed to filter the wastes from your body. But once you stop dialysis, creatinine level increases again.

If you would like to make your creatinine level normal, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy may be effective. It is to penetrate the shattered medicine into the diseased tissues of glomerular basement membrane to repair it. Once glomerular basement membrane recovers, your GFR improves, then creatinine can be passed out of the body.

In the daily, limiting the intake of meat is also helpful for controlling the creatinine level. Besides, attach importance to your blood pressure, blood sugar, emotion and so on.

Creatinine level is often used to measure kidney function. The less kidney function, the higher creatinine level. Take good care of yourself. Any question? Please contact us.
