What Does High Serum Creatinine Level Mean

treatment

Patients with Kidney Failure are always told that their serum creatinine level is higher and they need to take dialysis to decrease their high creatinine level. However, many patients don't know what high serum creatinine level means. And they wonder why this high level is not easy to be lowered fundamentally. Here, let's have a detailed discuss. As an important clinical index, creatinine level is often used to diagnose whether people's kidney function is damaged. In general, the degree of kidney damage can be judged by creatinine level. Pathologically, patients' high serum creatinine level means that patients are experiencing the kidney impairment. To some extent, the higher the creatinine level is, the severer the kidney damage is. Creatinine is the metobolin of muscle and food, which should have been filtrated through glomeruli and then discharged along with the urine. If the kidneys is damaged, creatinine cannot be discharged along with the urine. Traditional method to decrease high creatinine level is to take dialysis. When the creaitnine reaches to 450 ummol/L, patients will be recommended to take dialysis to discharge toxin from their body in some countries. In other countries, patients will not be told to receive dialysis until the creatinine level rises to about 700 ummol/L. After patients receive dialysis for about four hours, their creatinine level will be lowered right away. However, they will find that the level rises again after few days. And then they have to take dialysis again and again. Why does the high creaitnine level always elevate? Isn't there one method that can decrease the level fundamentally? If so, it is not necessary for patients to undergo dialysis for at least four hours. In general, the increase of creatinine level indicates that at least 50 % kidney function is damaged. In this condition, the kidneys cannot discharge the creatinine well. Even patients undergo dialysis, the creatinine is still produced by muscle or food they eat. As long as their kidney lesion is not repaired, the creatinine will deposit in blood. Receiving dialysis can only help patients decrease creatinine level temporarily. To lower the high creatinine level fundamently, the kidney lesion should be repaired and the kidney function should be improved. Patients are recommended to try to receive Chinese herbal medicine treatment (Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy)and Stem Cell Transplant. These two methods can help patients decrease this level so as to prolong the interval of receiveing dialysis and even get rid of undergoing dialysis. ......
