Dialysis is the most effective way to clear excess creatinine out of the body, so dialysis is required when serum creatinine increases to a very high level. However, in some cases, creatinine level is still very high after dialysis, why is this? What is the treatment for high creatinine level after dialysis?

Cause for high creatinine level after dialysis

One of the major jobs of kidney is to filter blood and during this process, wastes like creatinine and urea nitrogen are removed out of the body. However, dialysis can not work as well as our kidneys, so dialysis is helpful, but patients can not live as freely as they did before.

Dialysis is especially helpful in reducing creatinine level, but in some cases, serum creatinine level is still high after dialysis and this is mainly due to inadequacy of dialysis. In medicine, many conditions like low blood pressure can cause inadequate dialysis. Under such a condition, new treatment plan is needed; otherwise, further health tissues will be caused.

Treatment for high creatinine level after dialysis

For patients who have high creatinine level after dialysis, they can try the following treatment methods:

1. Plasma exchange

Plasma exchange is another blood purification method which works better than both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis is the most commonly used blood purification method and it only helps to remove small molecular substances. However, for plasma exchance, it can help to remove all the harmful substances out of the body. It is more effective for kidney failure patients compared with dialysis.

2. Polluted Blood Therapy

In kidney failure, dialysis is needed to cleanse blood. For patients who fail to get their high creatinine level lowered down with dialysis, they can try Polluted Blood Therapy which is mainly divided into three steps: Combined methods to cleanse blood, Add necessary nutrient to the blood; and Rebuild of kidney function. With this treatment, not only high creatinine level can be reduced, kidney function can be improved greatly.

Lastly, for patients who have high creatinine level after dialysis, they are in a very dangerous condition. To prolong lifespan successfully, they must take actions immediately to get their kidney function improved and high creatinine level lowered down to a low level.
