How to reduce high creatinine level in PKD

"My friend was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease , her creatinine level has reached 3.8 , while only 20 percent of kidney normal work, so please tell me some treatment to reduce the level of creatinine ." The patient's friends asked us .

Before we answer the questions, we need to know about the root cause of the high creatinine level in PKD. What causes the elevation of the creatinine level?

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is kind of hereditary kidney disease and the PKD genes make the renal tubular epithelial cells experience phenotype transforming, which leads to the cysts continuously secreting fluids.

With time going by, the number and size of the cysts would expand and they will oppress the normal renal tissues, and finally make the room of the normal tissues. As a result, the kidneys are not able to work well on filtering the extra toxic waste products out of the blood. With time and with decrease of the kidney function, there will protein, blood found in the urine of the patients. And once the creatinine level rises, it shows the kidneys are suffering from serious damage. If treated in time, there is great hope for the patients to keep away from much worse disease conditions.

What’s the right treatment on reducing the creatinine level?

After we have known the root cause of high creatinine level in PKD, we should treat it from the root.

This is to make the damaged tubular epithelial cells fail to secret the fluids by eliminating the active ingredients released by the cells. And then the cysts would stop growth. Besides, we use some Chinese medicines to increase the permeability of the blood circulation of the cysts surface to reabsorbing the cysts fluids which will excrete together with the urine out of the body. On the other side, we also use some Chinese medicines to repair the damaged renal cells and then improve the renal function besides well control of its symptoms and complication. Therefore, the high creatinine in the blood would be removed out of the body and then the high creatinine level would be lowered naturally.


Different patients vary in disease status, and we can help to make an individualized treatment plan after we know more details about the patients’ disease conditions.
