Creatinine refers to a chemical waste product in the blood that passes
through the kidneys to be filtered and excrete in urine. The chemical waste is a
by-product of normal muscle contractions. People who have chronic kidney disease
(CKD) may suffer from high creatinine. So how does this occur?
CKD appear when the kidneys becomes damaged and are no longer able to
properly filter waste and extra fluid out of the blood through urine. You will
develop raised creatinine levels when the glomerular filtration mechanism
becomes gradually damaged.
The higher the level is, the more damage there may be to the kidneys. A level
greater than 1.50 mg/dl for male and 1.10 mg/dl for female is abnormal and may
indicate kidney disease. For adult patients, dialysis is recommended when the
number reach 10.0 mg/dl; for babies with chronic kidney disease, dialysis is
recommended when the level is 2.0 mg/dl.
Symptoms of raised creatinine level
Symptoms are the same as Renal Failure symptoms. In some cases, people find
out they have kidney failure without feeling any discomforts at all. Yet some
persons may experience the following:
▪ Weakness, or fatigue
▪ Confusion
▪ Shortness of breath
▪ Dehydration
As the kidneys becomes increasing unable to cope, your disease will
deteriorate. So it is necessary to find an effective treatment to repair the
damaged filtration membrane and restore the kidney function so as to avoid
dialysis.
As one of the largest kidney disease specialized hospital all over the world,
we apply the most advanced immunotherapy, Immunotherapy, and Micro-Chinese
Medicine Osmotherapy to help patients treat kidney disease from the root. This
