Medical guys correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't creatinine the one most indicitive factor in kidney damage? What the fuck is wrong with this asshole doctor.
You are correct My friend, thats why in my field he should find a specialist,If your creatinine level is higher than 7.1, then it indicates that you are suffering Kidney Failure. In normal case, creatinine level should be lower than 1.4. Now your creatinine level is 7.1 which is over five times than the normal range; so it tells that you need dialysis or kidney transplant.
Creatinine level helps to reflect kidney functions and usually, the higher the creatinine is, the poorer the kidney functions are. With extremely high creatinine level, you must be eager to the methods of lowering creatinine. Usually, there are several ways which can help to reduce creatinine in the blood:
● Reducing meat and protein intake, we can lower our creatinine level slightly. Creatinine comes from meat eaten by us; so when we reduce meat intake, generation of creatinine will be reduced and consequently, creatinine level decreases. Besides, our kidneys are in charge of excreting protein, so through reducing protein intake, heavy renal burden can be reduced, which is helpful to protect our healthy kidney functions. Therefore, as long as we avoid worsening kidney damages, creatinien level does not increase.
● Reducing physical activity also help to lower creatinine level. Besides meat eaten by us, our muscle is another source of creatinine; that is to say, if we do lots of physical activities someday, our creatinine level will increase slightly; so to achieve the purpose of lowering creatinine level, avoiding drastic physical activities will be helpful. In addition, if your creatinine level has increased to 7.1, which indicates that your illness condition is relatively serious. Under such a circumstance, you need to have good rest and avoid being tired.
● Effective treatment for Kidney Failure help to reduce creatinine in the blood. We know creatinine level increases just because kidneys are failed in excreting excessive creatinine. When effective treatment is given, kidney functions recover, which allows excessive creatinine level to be excreted timely and as a result of this, creatinine level decreases naturally.
All these methods are effective in lowering creatinine level; but for a kidney failure patient whose creatinine level is 7.1, it is far from enough for him to lower creatinine level just through adjusting diet and reducing physical activities. If he wants to his creatinine level effectively and quickly, the most and only suitable way is to receive effective treatment for kidney failure.
At present, the most popular treatment for kidney failure is Immunotherapy.
