Though creatinine level is often talked, you may not really know what it is. That is why so many patients ask questions about creatinine. Is 6.8 creatinine level high for PKD?

What is the normal Creatinine level?

Creatinine is a kind of metabolic waste which passes through kidneys to be filtered and removed in urine, therefore, creatinine level is often used to measure the kidney function. For healthy male adult, their creatinine level ranges from 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL. For healthy female adult, their creatinine level is 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL. Creatinine level usually does not increase unless your kidneys are severely damaged.

From the data, we can see that creatinine 6.8 is much higher than the normal level. It means your kidney function may have lost more than 80 %.

Is creatinine level 6.8 dangerous for PKD?

Creatinine can not be expelled by the kidneys timely, resulting in the accumulation of creatinine in the blood. Too much creatinine can increase the risk of hyperpotassemia, hyperuricemia, hyperlipemia, hypoalbuminemia, metabolic acidosis, etc. Therefore, you should lower creatinine 6.8 as early as possible.

How to lower creatinine 6.8?

For patients with Creatinine 6.8, dialysis is often recommended. It can take the place of your kidneys to filter creatinine out of the body, but creatinine level goes up once you stop dialysis. In daily, you should pay attention to your diet to limit the intake of meat.

However, to lower creatinine level, you should improve kidney function. But your kidney function is closely related with the cysts in your kidneys. For PKD patients, you should shrink the cysts first. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is often used for PKD patients. It does not only restrain the cysts from growing, but also repair the damaged kidneys to improve kidney function.
