A: Thanks for your consultation! Maybe you have hypertensive nephropathy, which is a serious complication of long-term uncontrolled hypertension. For further diagnosis, it is necessary for you to answer me the following questions: Do you have a family history of high blood pressure? What is the range control of hypertension? You mentioned that you have swelling in the leg at times, is your there protein in urine?

Normally, creatinine level can be kept within in a normal range(0.5-1.2mg/dL). As for your creatinine 2.4, it suggests your condition has developed into stage 3 CKD. When it comes to swelling in the leg, it is associated with loss of protein and fluid-retention. In this condition, there is still opportunity to reverse your kidney damage. Otherwise, it will progress into the 4th stage quickly.

In addition to drugs, we also suggest you to limit the intake of sodium, eat less creatine supplements to bring your condition under control. In the meanwhile, effective treatments should be adopted to stimulate blood circulation, ameliorate the ischemia-hypoxia state of kidneys, restore the diseased renal cells as well as improve kidney function. For instance, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Full Bath Therapy, Hot Compress Therapy, Enema Therapy and so on. Wish you a good day!
