I am a patient with Diabetic Nephropathy, and my Creatinine Level is 5.5
mg/dl. In addition, I have swelling in ankles. What does creatinine level 5.5
mean? Can you tell me how to lower it without Dialysis? I really do not want to
take dialysis.
In clinic, the normal range of creatinine is 0.7 to 1.2 mg/dl. Meanwhile,
creatinine is an important level for kidney health. When creatinine level is
higher than the normal range, it means that kidney functions are damaged and
less than 50%. It is because that our kidney has strong compensatory ability for
metabolism, so increased creatinine level means kidney is damaged already.
Creatinine level 5.5 means kidney functions are impaired seriously. You need to
take timely and proper treatment to prevent the kidney from further damage.

Herbal medicines for high creatinine level
Kidney failure patients experience high creatinine level as failed kidneys
can not discharge excess creatinine level out of the blood timely. Under such a
condition, the followings Chinese herbs can be used to reduce creatinine in
blood:
1. Stinging nettle seed: Stinging nettle seed is reported to have function of
lowering high creatinine level in a study published in the journal of The
American Herbalist Guild which said kidney failure patients who were given this
herb showed a significant decrease in their serum creatinine.
2. Ginseng: Ginseng stimulates the circulation to the kidneys, which is very
helpful in treating kidney failure. In clinic, it is often used with cinnamon to
lower creatinine level.
3. Salvia: Salvia is always used to lower high creatinine level by kidney
failure patients who are on dialysis.
4. Dandelion root: Herb of dandelion root can be used as a diuretic.
Normally, creatinine is discharged out of the body with urine, so by increasing
kidney failure patients’ urine output, much more creatinine can be excreted and
high creatinine level can be lowered effectively.
Diabetic nephropathy is caused by years of uncontrolled diabetes and kidney
damage, thus you should control your blood glucose first so as to prevent the
progression of the condition from renal failure.
As for kidney damage, you should take timely and proper treatments to repair
damaged kidney tissues and cells and improve kidney functions. Here we would
like to recommend you Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It can help repair
damaged kidney tissues and cells and improve kidney functions from the origin
without side effects. For micro-Chinese medicine, it reduces creatinine level by
improving kidney function. We know kidneys are the organ that are responsible
for keeping serum creatinine in the normal range. When they are affected, kidney
function decreases and creatinine level increases. Hence, only when kidney
function is increased, can high creatinine level be lowered radically.
