GFR is one of the sensitive indicator of kidney disease, from the level of
GFR we can know exactly which stage the disease is in. Once the GFR is lower
than 15, that means you are now in End Stage Renal Disease and your kidneys have
been damaged seriously. Then, you need to take dialysis to relieve those
symptoms induced by kidney damage. But for people who has no obvious symptoms
they can delay the times to take dialysis or choose other ways to help control
their disease or reverse it.
Actually, there is no direct relationship between creatinine level and
dialysis, that is to say, only a creatinine level is not enough to decide
whether dialysis should be started or not.
For example, if the creatinine level increased to 4.5, in many countries, the
doctor will recommend the patients to take dialysis or kidney transplant.
However, just like what we mentioned, creatinine level is not quite enough on
its own and needs to be looked at in the context of the other blood values, such
as urea and potassium levels and how patients are feeling in themselves. If the
urea level is high, patients could feel sick, be itching, irritable, unable to
eat and stuff like that, in that case, patients will need to start dialysis
sooner rather than later.
What treatment can help the patient control their disease without
dialysis?
Chinese Herb Medicine is the good choice for patient with no much obvious
symptoms, it can help the patient to relieve the symptoms and repair the damaged
renal functions at the same time. With the help of Chinese Medicine, the patient
may get a chance to avoid dialysis. But the Chinese Herb Medicine we mentioned
above is not meant to one single therapy, it is a series of methods based on
traditional Chinese Herb Medicine. Among them Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
is the representative one, it has remarkable curative effect in treating kidney
disease and now it has been used widely in China. Cooperated with other
treatments, it can solve the kidney problems from underlying causes.
In one word, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy as an alternative therapy of
dialysis it has better curative effect than dialysis, so as a kidney failure
patient you can choose it as your treatment.
