Do patients need to take dialysis with creatinine 7.1? This should be a common question for kidney failure patients when they suffer from high creatinine level. In this article, we will talk about this question and get answers.

What does creatinine 7.1 mean for kidney failure patients?

Creatinine is the waste product of muscle metabolism in blood, and it is mainly excreted by kidneys. In general, if there are less than 50% kidney function, the kidneys will fail to excrete the creatinine out, then patients will suffer from high creatinine level (normal level 0.5-1.3 mg/dl). The less kidney function patients have, the higher creatinine level patients will have.

Then do patients need to take dialysis with creatinine 7.1?

Dialysis is a replacement treatment for kidney failure patients, which can help filter blood and remove the excess fluid from blood, then it can help prolong the life expectancy for patients.

In general, when the creatinine level is higher than 5 mg/dl, patients will be recommended to take dialysis. However, this is not the only critetion, because some of the patients with creatinine higher than 5 may have no symptoms, so they can take the alternative treatment to improve their kidney function and prevent dialysis.

So whether creatinine 7.1 patients should take dialysis is all depending on their own illness condition. If patients have the severe symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, skin itching, high blood pressure, swelling, etc, they may need to take dialysis to filter the toxins and wastes and remove the fluid out, because these symptoms can be life-threatening for patients. However, if patients don’t have these severe symptoms, they don’t need to take dialysis, and they can take alternative treatment to improve their kidney function.

So what is the alternative treatment for creatinine 7.1 patients?

Here we recommend the “Four Therapies” inPeking Tung Shin Tang Chinese Medical Hospital, which include Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Foot Bath Therapy, Oral Chinese Medicine Therapy, Maikang Mixture. Depending on the own illness condition, experts will make a systemic treatment plan for patients. Through systemic treatment, it can help repair damaged kidney tissues and improve kidney function. Then it can help lower the high creatinine 7.1 from root.

So creatinine 7.1 patients need to take early treatment to help improve their kidney function, which can help make a good prognosis for them. If you want to get more details of the treatment, you can consult online doctor, or you can also send e-mail to pkdtreatment169@gmail.com.
