When there is severe damage to your kidneys, creatinine level and BUN will increase. When your creatinine reaches 6.6 and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) reaches 114, how to reduce them?

First, let’s learn more about creatinine level and BUN.

Creatinine and urea are both waste that is passed out of the body by the kidneys. Creatinine is the by-product of muscle contraction and meat decomposition, while urea is a by-product of protein metabolism. If you are healthy, your kidneys can remove the excess creatinine and urea from your blood. But when your kidneys can not function well, creatinine and urea build up in the blood.

For healthy people, their creatinine level ranges from 0.5 to 1.3 mg/dL and BUN is 7 to 20 mg/dL. According to the stages of kidney failure, creatinine 6.6 means you are in the CKD stage 4.

Second, let’s see how to reduce creatinine 6.6 and BUN 114.

We can reduce creatinine and BUN from input and output of them.

-Diet is one of the source of creatinine and urea. Reducing the intake of meat and protein can help reduce creatinine and urea. But to meet your body needs, you should consume proper high quality protein.

-Doing exercise can accelerate muscle contraction so as to produce more creatinine, so you had better avoid strenuous exercise. But the advantages of doing gentle exercise such as walking and tai chi far outweigh its disadvantages.

-Improving kidney function can help your kidneys remove the excess creatinine and urea. Chinese medicine includes not only oral Chinese medicine but also external therapies. They can repair the damaged kidneys so as to improve kidney function.
