High creatinine level is always associated with severe kidney damage. Therefore, may patients will feel anxious once they find their creatinine level is higher than the normal range, and so do PKD patients. There is a question which is commonly asked by patients: when creatinine increase to 2.8, should I worry?

As I stared to say that high creatinine level is usually caused by the severe kidney damage. Therefore, for PKD patients, if they do find their creatinine level is abnormal in their test, they should see a doctor as soon as possible, so as to ensure your specific illness condition.

To be frank, creatinine 2.8 is much higher if compared to the normal range of creatinine level (0.5-1.1mg/dl for female and 0.6-1.2mg/dl for male). Normally, the kidneys are responsible to discharge extra creatinine from the body effectively, while when the kidneys are damaged by some factors, they will lose the abilities to do this job. If you take no treatment to lower creatininine 2.8 and leave it increasing, you will experience more serious problems. What’s more, PKD patients with creatinine 2.8 are prone to suffer from the cysts rupture due to accumulations of wastes and toxins. In the condition, patients may also experience high blood pressure, swelling, blood in urine, kidney pain or even urinary tract infection.

Therefore, you must do something to lower high creatinine level 2.8 as early as possible. Here I will also give your some suggestion for your reference. For an individualized treatment, you can mail us to renal-disease@hotmail.com or talk with our online doctors directly.

First, you should develop a proper diet plan such as low-protein, low-sodium diet. Both of them are helpful for reducing burden of the kidneys and protecting remaining function. In addition, you should eat less meat which is the good source of creatinine.

Second, you should also pay attention to some side effects of certain drugs.

Third, shrink your cysts on the kidneys. It is the root cause for recovering renal function and lowering creatinine level, like Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
