Question: I’m a CKD patient. My urea level is 68, and creatinine level is 3.33. Last month before 30 days it was 65 & 3.02. I am under treatment of a nephrologist. Please advice me what precautions should I take to lower the level?

Answer: Now your creatinine level and BUN level is increasing gradually, which indicates that your disease is worsening. If you do not want to start dialysis or do kidney transplant in the near future, you had better take treatment as early as possible. As to the precautions you should take to lower creatinine and BUN, here I list some aspects. Hope they can help you.

-To reduce protein intake

Both creatinine and BUN are the byproducts of protein metabolism especially meat, so you had better reduce meat intake. Plant protein is also a great source of urea, so it should be reduced as well. To reduce does not mean to avoid. It is necessary for you to supplement moderate high quality protein to satisfy the need of body.

-To avoid strenuous exercises

Creatinine is also a byproduct of muscle contraction. When you take part in sports, it is likely for your body to produce massive creatinine, thus elevating your creatinine level further. Therefore, you had better give up strenuous exercises and have a good rest. But to do some gentle exercises has more advantages then disadvantages.

-To adjust your treatment plan

Conventional treatment is just to control symptoms and complications, which is helpful for you to halt the progression of disease, but it can not repair kidney damage and promote kidney function. In Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital, Toxin-Removing Treatment is often used. It takes advantage of various Chinese medicine therapies such as medicated bath, foot bath, navel therapy and moxibustion to remove massive waste products out of body to make internal environment clean for kidney self-healing and other medication application. It can also improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into damaged kidneys to supply them with enough essential elements to speed up kidney recovery. After about half month’s treatment, your high creatinine level and BUN will decrease. After about one month’s treatment, your kidney function will increase.
