Question: I have Nephrotic Syndrome and my creatinine level is getting increasingly high. It is 1.66 now. Last test showed protein in my urine was 3g, and I do not have swelling. Can you advise me of this condition?

Answer: From creatinine level, we can judge how well your kidneys are working. It is usually kept stable at a range from 0.5 to 1.3 mg/dL when your kidneys are working normally. Because of the immense compensatory ability of kidney, creatinine level does not increase quickly until over 50% of your kidneys are damaged. Now your creatinine level is 1.66. It is just a little higher than the normal range, which indicates that you are still in early stage of kidney disease. As long as you treat it timely, it is possible for you to get a complete recovery.

Treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome patients with creatinine 1.66

With Nephrotic Syndrome, proteinuria will be a big trouble, because persistent proteinuria can cause glomerulosclerosis and impair kidney function, leading to elevated creatinine level.

In western medicine, steroids and immunosuppressants are the most commonly used treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome patients to reduce proteinuria. Have you taken them? And how long you are on these medications? In general, they can help decrease protein in urine quickly, but this is stopgap measure. Proteinuria may relapse again again.

If you want to avoid the relapse, systemic Chinese medicine can be used together, such as Toxin-Removing Treatment. It can clear toxins and wastes out of body, improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into damaged kidneys as well as supply the nidus with essential elements, making the blood environment good for kidney self-healing and other medication application. After about half month’s treatment, your high creatinine level will decrease at least 10%. Proteinuria will decrease. After about one month’s treatment, your kidney condition will get well gradually. With the treatment going on, your creatinine level will be within normal range, and proteinuria will turn negative.

If your creatinine level is also getting increasingly high like the above Nephrotic Syndrome patient, please take treatment as early as possible to stabilize the disease and stop its progression.
