When some people are diagnosed with kidney disease with high creatinine, they
are suggested by their doctors to take dialysis, which is a surprise for these
people for they don’t know what is creatinine, what is dialysis, when should a
person take dialysis, and when they can stop or get rid of dialysis. Don’t
worry, my friend. Let’s me introduce it for you one by one.
1. creatinine
Creatinine is chiefly filtered out of the blood by the kidneys, which is a
break-down product of creatine phosphate in muscle, and is usually produced at a
fairly constant rate by the body. Generally, the normal range of creatinine in
the plasma is 44 to 103 umol/L. In normal condition, the creatinine level in the
urine is higher than that in the serum.
2. dialysis
In medicine, dialysis is a process for removing waste and excess water from
the blood, and is used primarily to provide an artificial replacement for lost
kidney function in people with renal failure.
3. when to take dialysis
In China, most kidney failure people adopt dialysis on the basis of serum
creatininie level. When the level of serum creatinine is 707umol/L, or higher
than this level, while there are also some people dwelling in China start to
take dialysis when their creatinine is more than 300 umol/L. In most of the
countries in the world, kidney failure patients begin to receive dialysis when
their creatinine is more than 450 umol/L.
4. when to stop dialysis
Considering the side effects if long time dialysis, kidney failure patients
want to stop or get rid of dialysis as soon as possible. For those whose
glomerular filtration rate is less than 10, they can not stop dialysis. When the
glomerular filtration rate rises to 10 to 15, we can help patients get rid of
dialysis with medicine and other therapies. In Shijiazhuang kidney disease
hospital, the combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine and Immunotherapy can help
patients decline the creatinine level in the serum.
Only stopping dialysis is not enough, and we should also repair the damaged
renal intrinsic cells as soon as possible. Only in this way, can we help
patients get rid of dialysis forever.
