How Much Creatinine Level Can Be Reduced by Dialysis

Some kidney disease patients who are under dialysis ask how much creatinine level can be reduced by dialysis. Generally, in China, when serum creatinine rises to 707umol/L, patients begin to take dialysis. In most of other countries in the world, patients receive dialysis when serum creatinine rises to more than 450umol/L.
Dialysis can really reduce creatinine, and long time creatinine can even help those who have not very high creatinine decrease the level into the normal one. However, dialysis can not stop. Why? Dialysis means blood purification in most of time. It is just like an artificial machine, which can help discharge the creatinine but can not stop the deterioration of kidney function. Once creatinine rises, it proves that there appears damage in the kidney, especially the damage of intrinsic cells in the kidney. The leak out of creatinine is due to the damage of renal glomerular filtration barrier. If we do not repair it, creatinine will rise again even it turns normal with the help of dialysis.
So from the above, we can get a conclusion that to reduce serum creatinine to normal, we should not only take dialysis but also use medicine which can repair damaged cells so as to maintain dialysis. What medicine can achieve better effect? In our Hospital, we have Chinese Medicine. Firstly, there are many active and nutritious herbs in Chinese Medicine, which can promote the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis in the blood, thus improving micro-circulation of all parts in the body. Secondly, the nutritious herbs can also supply nutrition to the kidney, thus improving the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney and repairing the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney at the same time. Thirdly, the nutritious herbs can also benefit qi and blood, which can increase the immunity of chronic kidney disease patients. Fourthly, compared with dialysis, Chinese Medicine can stop creatinine from rising again. The reasons are as follows: on one hand, Chinese Medicine can repair the damaged intrinsic cells, which can prevent creatinine leaking out again. On the other hand, Chinese Medicine can increase the immunity. Patients will not be easy to suffer from it again although being infected.
