Creatinine symptoms and prevention

Micro-Chinese Medicine

Serum creatinine and urea levels both are indicators for kidney condition. Creatinine 7.9 mg/dl and urea 118.1 mg/dl are seriously higher than the normal values. After seeing creatinine and urea rising day by day, the patient must want to find out some effective medicines to lower them.

Creatinine is a chemical molecule that is present in the serum (liquid portion) of the blood. It's produced from another molecule, creatine, which is a component of muscle. The amount of creatinine the body produces each day depends on the person's muscle mass -- a young, muscular man, for example, produces more creatinine than a petite elderly woman does. Because muscle mass normally changes very little, creatinine is usually produced at approximately the same rate every day in each person. It ends up as a waste product in the blood that is transported to the kidneys, where it's filtered out of the blood and removed from the body in the urine.

Several medicines can help lower high creatinine and urea level

1. Cordyceps sinensis

It is one precious herbal medicine. Doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes cordyceps sinensis has the property of nourishing lung and boosting kidney. According to clinical research, kidney patients’ creatinine and urea levels decline and endogenous creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) increases to some extent, after taking 2-6 months of this herb medicine.

2. Ketosteril

It is often used when glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is lower than 25 ml/min. Also, a low-protein diet is required to strengthen the effects of this medicine. Through providing essential amino acid for the body, patients can reduce the intake of amino acid through foods and avoid the intake of non-essential amino acid. Therefore, ketosteril can help decline the formation of urea and lower high creatinine level.


3. Astragalus membranaceus

This medicine is proven to be able to increase glomerular filtration rate. With the correct dosage of astragalus membranaceus, more creatinine and urea can be discharged out of the blood via urine.

These medicines indeed can lower creatinine 7.9 and urea 118.1 mg/dl. But only depending on one or two medicines, patients may find they work slowly.

Creatinine blood levels may be used to calculate another useful number called the creatinine clearance, a measure of the rate at which the kidneys filter creatinine out of the blood. Creatinine clearance, which is calculated using serum creatinine concentration and a patient's gender, age and weight, is a better estimation of kidney function than is the serum creatinine level.

 If the kidneys don't filter blood effectively, the glomerular filtration rate decreases and serum creatinine levels rise. As a result, serum creatinine level is an indirect measure of glomerular filtration rate.

So far, some remedies such as Immunotherapy, Clear Blood Pollution Therapy, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Stem Cell Therapy are used to treat chronic kidney disease from the root. In addition to lowering creatinine and urea levels, these therapies can also help rebuild kidney structure.

These medicines and treatments are helpful to deal with creatinine and urea levels. Want to learn more knowledge of aspects of kidney disease, please consult our website
