Creatinine is a waste product that is made when your body breaks down protein you eat and when muscles are injured. A high creatine level means kidney damage. It may vary somewhat, even when the kidneys work normally. So, your doctor should check your level more than once before diagnosing CKD. Creatinine levels tend to be higher in men and people with large muscles. Measuring creatinine is only the first step to finding your level of kidney function.
What does creatinine level 4.3?
Usually, patients with creatinine level 4.3 have stepped into stage 3 of Chronic Kidney Disease. In this condition, many waste products build up in the body due to kidney function decline. Patients are expected to experience high blood pressure, imbalance of electrolyte, renal anemia or mild heart problems.
Why do I need to prepare for dialysis?
Dialysis is a kidney replacement treatment which can help filter the toxins and excessive fluids out from the blood when kidney can not work well. When patient's GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) is less than 15, dialysis is needed.
Why patients need to take dialysis? Because their renal functions are too low to remove the toxins away from the body. Thereby, if kidney functions can improve, especially the kidney functions is higher than 15%, patients can avoid dialysis successfully.
With the respects of methods to improve kidney functions, there are two major therapies for you. One is Chinese Herbal Medicine and the other is Stem Cell Transplant.
Chinese herbal medicine has been established from more than 2500 years, which derives from natural herbs, without any side effects. It contains many properties than can dilate blood vessels, fight against inflammation and cleanse away toxins in the body, so as to repair the damaged renal cells and tissues. In this way, it can refresh the "dying" kidney functions.
Different with Chinese herbal medicine, stem cells (can stem cell help me get rid of dialysis) can differentiate into new renal cells and tissues. These new cells and tissues can take place of the role of the dead ones. Thereby, stem cell can restore the already "dead" renal function.
Normally, "Chinese Herbal Medicine+Stem Cell Transplant" can improve kidney function in a large degree, which gives patients a chance to avoid dialysis.
How long can I avoid dialysis with creatinine 4.3?
Creatinine 4.3 is close to the range that needs dialysis. However, how long you can avoid dialysis depends on your own conditions. Normally, the earlier you take measure to improve kidney function, the longer time you will spend before dialysis. Even in successful cases, many patients with high creatinine level avoid the dialysis in their lifetime.
Change of creatine usually depends on the glomerular filtration rate. For people with Chronic Kidney Disease, with time goes by, more and more glomeruli are damaged and then more and more creatine accumulates in their body. Therefore, in this light, creatine level can indicate the severity of Chronic Kidney Disease. That is to say, the more severity the Chronic Kidney Disease is, the higher the creatine level is.
