Every day there are a lot of messages or emails sent into pkdtreatment169@gmail.com.They are all questions about kidney disease. Some of the questions are so common that we write an article to explain it to all the kidney sufferers. In the following, we will discuss whether the patients with creatinine 6.2 should go for dialysis or not.

Dialysis is a kidney replacement treatment. It takes over part of your kidney function to filter wastes and excess fluid from your blood. It is used when your kidney function are severely damaged.

Creatinine is the waste product of muscle metabolism and meat consume. It is mainly passed out of the body by the kidneys. Creatinine level does not increase until more than half your kidney function loses. Creatinine 6.2 is much higher than the normal level (0.5-1.2 mg/dl), so you should take dialysis as early as possible, or the high creatinine level will cause further damage to your kidneys.

However, to judge whether you should take dialysis or not, it does not depend on the creatinine level, because some people have strong tolerance to the disease. In general, when the creatinine clearance falls to 10-12 cc/minute, dialysis is needed.

Due to its various side effects, dialysis is not the ideal treatment for kidney failure patients. Polluted Blood Therapy makes up the disadvantage of dialysis. It does not only cleanse the wastes, but also recover the polluted blood. In a clean and healthy blood environment, the damaged kidneys will regain its ability to certain extent. And then you may avoid dialysis and kidney transplant.

In our hospital, we also have other therapies, such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Chinese Medicine, which prove effective in treating kidney failure as well. If you would like to know more, please contact us.
