Creatinine 6.8 with kidney disease, which treatment is better for me

Creatinine 6.8 with kidney disease, which treatment is better for me. I am a kidney disease patient and my creatinine level rose to 6.8, the doctor said that I should take dialysis, but I do not like it. I want to know if there is another option for me? Which treatment is better?

What does it mean, creatinine 6,8?

In the clinic, the level of creatinine is one of the indicators of kidney function, from the significance of this, we can know what is the stage of disease and how much kidney function remains.

In the clinic, creatinine 6.8 means that the disease is currently in the 4th stage of a chronic kidney disease and there just left less than 30% of the kidney function can work normally. Without good control, the disease will develop into the 5th stage of kidney disease, that is, the terminal stage of kidney failure, which is a life-threatening disease, people must take dialysis or kidney transplant.

What treatment is better for a patient with kidney disease with creatinine 6.8?

In the past, there are no good ways to prevent the progression of this disease, the only thing people can do is to delay it. Therefore, for patients with a creatinine of 6.8, they have no other choice but dialysis, but now there are some unique therapies that can help people avoid dialysis. These treatments are based on traditional Chinese herbal medicine, and they can treat the disease effectively in a short time. Moreover, it can solve the kidney problem at the root.

Osmotherapy of micro Chinese medicine is one of the most effective methods for treating kidney disease, there are many types of herbs in it, so during treatment, doctors will arrange various herbs depending on the patient's condition, so as to achieve a better therapeutic effect. Cooperated with other methods of treatment, it can solve the kidney problem at the root.

What Happens When Dialysis Stops working?

while when dialysis stops working, maybe deadly results come to light in severe conditions. Here we will talk about the symptoms when dialysis stops working.When kidney disease develop into end stage of kidney failure, dialysis will be life-sustaining treatment.  when Kidney Failure patients choose to stop dialysis, however, most of them died within sever days to several weeks.

Our healthy kidneys are important organs which are packed with numerous function. its main function is to filter the formation of urine and discharge of metabolic waste, regulating the body of the electrolyte and acid-base balance. Kidney has endocrine function, through the production of renin, erythropoietin, prostaglandins, 1,25 - (OH) 2D3, etc., involved in the regulation of blood pressure, erythropoiesis and calcium metabolism.Although dialysis can help the damaged kidney do its normal job partly, but will make people dependent, and will produce nausea, vomiting, irritability and other side effects, severe cases may have convulsions, coma, and even death. Often dialysis will lead to accelerated renal atrophy, and finally kidney transplant. So more and more patients want to stop dialysis.

When dialysis stops, the waste products and auxiliary fluids will construct going on in the blood, causing various complications which may feint all system and organs of your body. With the other quickness of toxin produce-happening, the results modify from person to person. In some cases, death usually comes within a few weeks.

So,What happens when dialysis stops working?

1. Poor appetite and fluid overload.

2. Sleeping most of the hours of hours of daylight

3. Disorientation, confusion and failure to acceptance to familiar faces

4. Changes in breathing. (Changed breathing patterns indicate decreased circulation in the internal organs and buildup of waste products. Elevating the head and/or turning onto the side may increase comfort.)

5. Congestion(If saliva and mucus are collected behind the throat, you may hear grunts and the sound may be distressing to hear that this is a normal reaction to fluid imbalance and no coughing of normal secretions. Helps to raise the head, turning the head to the side can make the gravity eliminate the clogging.)

6. Muscle cramps

7. Fatigue or tired

8. Drowsiness, anxiety, upset and depressed

9. Reduced urination or even no urine output

10. Changes in color and skin temperature

All of them can speed up the deterioration of illness condition and lead to death to some extent. Therefore, it is important to take effective treatment to relieve these symptoms. Usually natural treatment will be considered firstly than the chemical drugs,because natural remedy shows no side effects on patients. Also, it helps lead to a peaceful life for patients. You are suggested to take herbs that are tonic to your kidneys. As a matter of fact, in modern medical areas, dialysis or kidney transplant is not the only the choice for Kidney Failure patients.

 we do use a series of innovated treatment from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for help repairing kidney damage fundamentally and reducing the frequency of dialysis. To know the specific treatments, please don’t hesitate to tell us and our Online Doctor is very glad to help any patients with kidney disease.

What ’s the difference between Uremia and uremic period？

Uremia is a series of symptoms of renal excretion dysfunction, manifested in the following aspects:

1. water, electrolyte acid-base balance disorders symptoms:

(1) nocturia increased (urine output, urine frequency), early normal urine or increased, advanced oliguria or anuria.

(2) due to fluctuations in sodium intake, the occurrence of low sodium or hypernatremia, hyponatremia when uremic patients may have indifferent, unresponsive, fatigue, muscle spasms, convulsions.

(3) potassium metabolism in the early to maintain a balance, some patients due to anorexia, long-term use of diuretics can be hypokalemia, uremia manifested as fatigue, bloating, heart rate slightly or premature, tendon reflex weakened or disappeared, late The patient may have hyperkalemia.

(4) calcium and magnesium metabolic disorders must have low calcium high phosphorus and high magnesium, uremia performance of hypocalcemia convulsions, renal bone malnutrition.

(5) metabolic acidosis uremia patients with fatigue, nausea and vomiting, deep breathing, and even myocardial contraction weakness, blood pressure.

2. uremic toxins caused by the system symptoms

(1) digestive system: loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, stomatitis, colitis, gastrointestinal bleeding (with a small amount of hematemesis and black manure).

(2) the nervous system: uremia symptoms of fatigue, insomnia, inattention, confusion, delirium, coma, in addition to muscle spasms, peripheral nerve paresthesia.

(3) hematopoietic system: anemia, bleeding tendency and hypercoagulable state.

(4) cardiovascular system: hypertension, uremic pericarditis, uremic myocardial damage (cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmia, heart failure, myocardial infarction).

(5) respiratory system: uremia lung or uremic interstitial pneumonia.

(6) skin: melanin calm, skin itching and so on.

3. Endocrine disorders: male uremic patients may have loss of libido, impotence infertility, male breast development; female patients with menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, infertility.

4. Metabolic disorders: impaired glucose tolerance, hyperlipidemia, hypoproteinemia, secondary hyperuricemia.

Uremic period is the end of chronic renal failure, uremia is not necessarily in the uremic period. Uremic period has a clear diagnostic criteria:

According to the degree of renal dysfunction can be based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), serum creatinine (cr) levels are pided into three phases:

First, renal insufficiency compensatory GFR between 60-89ml / min, blood Cr> 133 --- 177umol / L, clinically in addition to primary disease performance, there is no other symptoms.

Second, renal decompensation or azotemia GFR between 15-59ml / min, Cr> 177umol / L, mild fatigue, loss of appetite and varying degrees of anemia and other symptoms.

Third, uremic period GFR <15ml / min, Cr ≥ 707umol / L, has obvious clinical symptoms of uremia.

End stage renal failure (uremia) hemodialysis treatment

Uremia is a kind of serious disease caused by renal failure accompanying water electrolyte and acid-base imbalance. This disease can cause heart failure, acid-base balance disorders, skin itching, pericarditis, bleeding, anemia, infection and other complications. Most patients with uremia are associated with a variety of complications, and the prognosis is poor which  seriously affects the quality of life of patients, even caused life-threatening to patients . At present, the application of hemodialysis technology in clinical treatment of uremia is very extensive, since, how to improve the effect of hemodialysis, improve the quality of life of patients has been a hot research topic in clinical. The application of high efficient flow filtration, dialysis or flow are efficient dialysis method to improve the effect of hemodialysis. But limited by economic conditions, hospital medical conditions, these methods are difficult to practice.

In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has made a beneficial exploration in improving the effect of hemodialysis. Chinese medicine believes that [4]poor good and strong evil is the basic pathogenesis of patients with uremia, including evil heat, phlegm, dampness, deficiency of kidney qi and blood deficiency. Clinical treatment should pay attention to comprehensive treatment, the Fuzheng Quxie and unified methods through the whole process of medical treatment. Tongmai oral liquid is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation with pseudo-ginseng and astragalus root as main components. Pseudo-ginseng modern pharmacology research shows it can effectively regulate blood lipid levels, anticoagulation, vasodilation; Astragalus diuresis Gubiao, supplementing qi and nourishing Yin, modern research shows that Astragalus can play a role in immune regulation, improve glomerular capillary blood circulation, reduce blood viscosity, increase blood flow, accelerate the repair of injured kidney. The main component of rhubarb capsule is rhubarb which can remove blood stasis and descending the turbid dampness, clearing heat and purging the function, but also reduce nitrogen, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, reduce blood viscosity, play a regulating role of anticoagulation and immunity, improve lipid and amino acid metabolism.

The results of this study showed that patients in the treatment group, P KT/V, P PCR, gamma TACUREA improved significantly better than control group (P<0.05); BUN and BCR levels were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). This shows that hemodialysis in treatment of uremic auxiliary application of rhubarb capsules, Tongmai oral liquid can effectively improve the effect of hemodialysis, improve the quality of life of patients, and no adverse reaction. And this research is of important clinical value.

What are the symptoms of kidney failure? How to treat renal failure?

Because many people are not very clear for the symptoms of renal failure, so that failed to seize the timing of treatment when it in the event of mild symptoms, but for relative high risk factor of kidney failure,especially in the presence of memory loss , And there is a serious phenomenon of nausea and vomiting, should go to the hospital as soon as possible, then,what are the dangers of kidney failure?
what are the dangers of kidney disease?
First, Almost all patients have a certain degree of harm caused by kidney failure, then what is it? Renal failure on patients, including patients with heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and bone and skin are affected. The harm of this kidney failure is the experience of patients, pay attention to timely treatment, reduce injury.
Second, the risk of renal failure also includes the damage of patient's digestive system, then the patient's digestive system which patients will appear loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort and nausea, vomiting and some symptoms of renal failure, but also the patient's nervous system have a certain impact, the patient will appear depressed, fatigue, dizziness, memory loss and numbness of the limbs numbness and coma symptoms; patients will appear high blood pressure, heart failure and other heart diseases.
Third, renal failure can also cause harm to the patient's psychological, long-term treatment of renal failure is not very good, it is easy to give patients a psychological burden, long-term negative only will aggravate the patient's condition. Therefore, patients should be aware of this, and actively adjust their own mentality, and actively cooperate with the treatment.
what is the treatment for renal failure?
Western medicine commonly used hormones, immunosuppressive agents to anti-inflammatory and inhibit immunity, reduce the generation of pathogenic immune complexes, eliminate the inflammatory response, thereby relieving kidney damage. But once the withdrawal, it will immediately appear repeated, the disease will be more and more heavy.

The development of chronic kidney disease to kidney renal failure treat is a long process, in this process many patients seek medical advice has been removed a number of hospitals, for chronic kidney disease and kidney failure has a certain degree of understanding. We all know that the development of chronic kidney disease to the stage of renal failure has been difficult to completely cured. To suffer from pain and torture in patients with renal failure, to curb the development of the disease, to protect the kidney residual renal function, reduce blood creatinine concentration, to eliminate the pain caused by the complications to maintain stable disease does not continue to deteriorate, and will not develop to uremia The dialysis of the point, to the normal life is already their greatest wish.　

What Is Renal Hypertension?

The kidney is both an important organ of blood pressure regulation and is one of the major target organs of hypertension. The kidneys are responsible for the regulation of blood volume, electrolyte balance, and regulation of renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Kidney is rich in blood vessels, vulnerable to high blood pressure damage. Normal renal function plays an important role in maintaining blood pressure stability. Once the damage to renal function, will increase the high blood pressure, hypertension and further increase kidney damage, so the formation of a vicious cycle, leading to renal insufficiency and heart, brain and other vital organs damage.

Clinically caused by changes in renal structure and function of hypertension, known as hypertensive renal damage, mainly small arterial renal sclerosis. Hypertension for 5 to 10 years, can cause renal small arteriosclerosis (arcuate and interlobular artery intimal thickening, small arterial hyaline), wall thickening, lumen narrowing, and then Renal parenchymal ischemic damage, including glomerular ischemic shrinkage, sclerosis, tubular atrophy, renal interstitial cell infiltration and fibrosis, leading to benign arterial nephrosclerosis; and rapid hypertension or malignant Hypertension caused by malignant small arterial nephrosclerosis is currently relatively less.

In recent years, due to the increasing number of patients with hypertensive, the incidence of benign small arterial nephrosclerosis is also significantly increased. The disease is more common in Western countries, is the end stage of renal failure, the second cause (about 25%),  only second to diabetic nephropathy. In our country, benign small arterial nephrosclerosis in the end stage renal failure peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients, accounted for second (14.8%) and the third place (8.9%), in the peritoneal dialysis only second to chronic Nephritis, only second to chronic nephritis and diabetic nephropathy in hemodialysis. However, the harm of high blood pressure to the kidney has not been fully understood.
