What does creatinine 3.5 mean for kidney disease patients?

Creatinine is the waste product of muscle metabolism, and it is mainly excreted by kidneys. However, if the kidneys are damaged severely, or there are less than 50% kidney function left for patients, the creatinine will fail to remove out, then patients will get the high creatinine level.

Creatinine 3.5 is much higher than the normal level 0.5-1.3 mg/dl, which means the kidneys have been damaged severely. And there will be lots of toxins and wastes building up in blood, so patients will have some severe symptoms such as loss of appetite, high blood pressure, swelling, nausea, vomiting, skin itching, etc. So patients need to take effective treatment to lower the high creatinine 3.5 effectively.

When do I have to go dialysis with creatinine 3.5?

Dialysis is a replacement treatment for kidney failure patients. In general, if the creatinine level is higher than 5 mg/dl, patients will be recommended to take dialysis. However, the long term dialysis will cause some severe side effects for patients. So most of the high creatinine patients do not want to take dialysis.

For creatinine 3.5 patients, their creatinine is not so high to take dialysis, so they can take the alternative treatment to prevent dialysis. From above, we can know the high creatinine level is mainly caused by the low kidney function, so patients need to take effective treatment to repair their kidney damage and improve their kidney function.

InPeking Tung Shin Tang Chinese Medical Hospital, we use the Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to lower the high creatinine level. The osmotherapy has the function of repairing damaged kidney tissues and improving kidney function, then it can help lower the high creatinine 3.5 from root and prevent dialysis.
