Does creatinine level 6.8 mg/dL need dialysis? Creatinine level 6.8 is indeed higher than the normal range. And high creatinine level is always related to severe kidney damage and effective treatment should be applied as soon as possible. Is dialysis necessary for high creatinine level 6.8mg/dL?

High creatinine level is an indicator of kidney damage and patients with elevated creatinine level will suffer from proteinuria, hematuria, high blood pressure, swelling, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, anemia and so on.

Actually dialysis will be required when creatinine level is higher than 5mg/dL, let alone creatinine 6.8. Dialysis is a renal replacement and it can discharge metabolic wastes and toxins from the body to alleviate high toxic state temporarily. However, long-term dialysis will cause some side effects and cause further kidney damage. In this condition, no one is willing to undergo dialysis. Besides, sometimes dialysis is not necessary if patients have no obvious symptoms. Creatinine level is not the only measurement for dialysis.

Without dialysis, creatinine level 6.8 can still be lowered by natural remedies, including:

1. Proper diet

Patients with high creatinine level should follow a diet with low protein, low potassium and phosphorus, and low sodium. As medical conditions vary from person to person, your individualized diet should consult your doctor or consult our online doctor.

2. Chinese Medicine

Some Chinese Medicine with diuretic properties like nettle leaf, dandelion root, cinnamon and saliva can improve urination. As it increases the output of kidneys, more creatinine will be diluted out through urination.

3. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is able to repair kidney damage and improve renal function so as to lower high creatinine level from the root. What’s more, when kidney function is improved, it is possible to delay dialysis or avoid dialysis.
