Acupuncture is one of Chinese medicine treatments and it is proven to manage various diseases and conditions. It has become increasingly popular in recent years and has been used to treat different kidney diseases. Is it possible to reduce serum creatinine levels in acupuncture?

Creatinine and kidney function

Creatinine is a waste product in the blood created by the normal metabolism of muscle cells. Healthy kidneys can keep serum creatinine level in a normal range by taking excess creatinine out of the blood and removing it into the urine to leave the body. However, when kidneys are not functioning well, creatinine will pile up in blood. As a result, high creatinine level occurs. The more creatinine in blood the more severe kidney damage. High serum creatinine level is a reflection of kidney damage. Since kidneys have strong compensatory ability, high serum creatinine level does not occur until half of kidney function has been damaged.

Is it possible to reduce serum creatinine level in acupuncture?

Acupuncture indeed can lower serum creatinine level. Acupuncture on two acupoints, one located below knee and the other medical posterior to ankle can decrease sympathetic nerve activity in the kidneys. Sympathetic overactivity can accelerate renal injury and slow the progression of kidney disease. The same two acupuncture acupoints on the ankles and shin can reduce high serum creatinine levels effectively.

In addition, acupuncture can do something to repair kidney damage. It can adjust qi and blood in meridians by moxibustion, making qi and blood flow smoothly, harmonize viscera, nourish and fixate defensive qi. Thus, body resistance can be restored. The therapeutic aim of retaining healthy qi in human body and fighting the attack of pathogenic factors is achieved. After a period of treatment, kidney damage can be repaired to some extent and high creatinine level can be reduced step by step.
