Creatinine
The kidneys maintain a balanced
amount of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine which is produced by the
muscle metabolism ought to be eliminated by the kidneys during the blood
filtration process. Thus, creatinine is a healthy measurement of how
your kidneys are functioning. Higher the level of creatinine, lower is
the kidney function.
As the kidneys damage, the creatinine level
rises because of the poor creatinine clearance by the kidneys. Along
with creatinine, glomerular filtration rate also determines how kidneys
are filtering the blood on a per-minute base.
BUN is another
indication of kidney function. Urea which is a byproduct of kidney
function can build up in the blood if kidney function is not normal.
When creatinine level rises, one is recommended creatinine level treatment in Ayurveda to improve kidney function rather than alternative approaches like dialysis.
Normal
levels of creatinine in the blood, in adult males, are approximately
0.6 to 1.2 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dL) and in females, they are
approximately 0.5 to 1.1 milligrams per deciliter. Since creatinine is
directly related to muscle mass, you can notice the difference in
creatinine range for men and women.
Symptoms of high creatinine
Having
a high creatinine level is not a condition rather a symptom that your
kidney function is not appropriate. Often the signs are similar to that
of chronic kidney disease. But some people may have an accidental
diagnosis of severe kidney disease without having any signs.
Often the signs may look like:
• Dehydration
• Fatigued body
• Loss of senses and taste
• Breathing issues
• Swelling in the body
• Shortness of breath
• Confusion
• Nausea and vomiting
• Dry skin
• Anemia
• Malnutrition
• High blood pressure
• Chest pain
• Pain in your back and side
What are the causes of high creatinine?
Creatinine
levels rise in the body when your kidney function is not appropriate.
So, one has to study the factors that raise the risk of chronic kidney
disease. CKD does not happen all of a sudden and there are often
long-standing causes behind this. Often chronic kidney disease cannot be
reversed with the help of dialysis, but you can reduce creatinine with
Ayurveda.
Some most common causes of chronic kidney disease may include:
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Polycystic kidney disease
• Glomerulonephritis is the damage to the filters of the kidneys
• Pyelonephritis, infection in your kidneys
• Abnormal kidney structure
• Blockage in the urinary tract
• Rhabdomyolysis, abnormal muscle breakdown
• Too much consumption of over the counter painkillers
• Vesicoureteral reflux in which the urine flows back into the kidneys
Serum
creatinine can also be raised after you consume a large amount of
dietary protein or meat. Especially red meat is to be avoided by the
patients having a high creatinine range as this creates more pressure on
the kidneys.
How to reduce creatinine with the help of Ayurveda?
With
the help of Ayurveda also, you can reduce creatinine with ease.
Ayurvedic measures have long been used to cure various chronic illnesses
including your kidney problems. The medicines in the treatment are
often made with herbs like Punarnava, Shirish, Kaasni, and many others.
Such powerful herbs have the tendency to revive and rejuvenate kidney
function because they release any blockage within the kidney function.
In
addition, there are no side effects of creatinine treatment in Ayurveda
and you can enjoy an overall improvement in your health after taking
the treatment. Blood sugar and blood pressure levels also reach a
healthy level with the highly potent herbs in the medicines used.
You
will also be required to follow a healthy diet along with preventive
measures. A diet will be based on how your kidneys are functioning and
your test reports.
