PKD is a kind of congenital disease, and people are usually affected since
birth. However, the disease is often detected in the late second or third decade
of one's life. Persons affected by PKD usually have elevated creatinine, so can
it come back to normal?
Normal value
Creatinine is a waste product produced by the muscles through normal
contraction. It passes through the kidneys to be filtered out through urination.
The normal range of this level fall between 0.5 and 1.1 mg/dL for wome, while
0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL for men.
Elevated values
When the kidneys cannot work efficiently, as with kidney disease, creatinine
levels rise. In general, an increase of this level suggests that 50% or more
kidney function has been lost.
Cause of high creatinine in Polycystic Kidney Disease
For people with PKD, they have many cysts growing in the kidneys. These cysts
will also become enlarged over time. Enough big ones will oppress the around
renal tissues, causing damage to functional renal cells and tissue. If more than
half of the kidney function is impaired, the creatinine levels will become
elevated.
Can elevated creatinine come back to normal?
Once you have a high creatine level with PKD, don't be too much worry about
this. With effective therapy, we can bring it back to normal naturally. For this
problem, we adopt different treatments depending on personalized illness
condition. The basic therapy is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
Micro-Chinese Medicine is a Chinese herbal treatment which can delay the
enlargement of renal cysts, decrease the size of cysts, and improve the kidney
function. This is a natural treatment with no side effect to human body.
After period of treatment with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, patient's
cysts will be largely shrunk and renal function can get obviously improved.
Then, high creatinine will return to normal level.
