Creatinine

Creatinine​ ​is​ ​a​ ​waste​ ​product​ ​of​ ​muscle​ ​metabolism.​ ​When​ ​muscles​ ​work,​ ​they​ ​break
down​ ​proteins,​ ​including​ ​the​ ​amino​ ​acid​ ​creatine,​ ​to​ ​produce​ ​energy.​ ​Most​ ​creatine​ ​is
consumed​ ​but​ ​about​ ​2​ ​percent​ ​enters​ ​the​ ​bloodstream​ ​as​ ​creatinine.​ ​The​ ​kidneys
remove​ ​most​ ​creatinine.​ ​Levels​ ​of​ ​creatinine​ ​can​ ​be​ ​affected​ ​by​ ​age,​ ​sex,​ ​race,​ ​diet,
muscle​ ​mass,​ ​some​ ​medications,​ ​and​ ​chronic​ ​disease,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​hyperthyroidism,
hypothyroidism,​ ​diabetes​ ​and​ ​kidney​ ​disease.​ ​The​ ​normal​ ​range​ ​of​ ​creatinine​ ​in​ ​blood
serum​ ​is​ ​0.75​ ​to​ ​1.3​ ​mg/dL​ ​for​ ​men​ ​and​ ​0.6​ ​to​ ​1.1​ ​mg/dL​ ​for​ ​women.​ ​Normal​ ​values
may​ ​vary​ ​slightly​ ​depending​ ​on​ ​the​ ​laboratory​ ​and​ ​the​ ​technique​ ​used.​ ​Persistently​ ​high
creatinine​ ​levels​ ​are​ ​most​ ​possibly​ ​caused​ ​by​ ​kidney​ ​problems.​ ​See​ ​the​ ​frame​ ​of​ ​the

Causes​ ​of​ ​high​ ​creatinine​ ​levels

1.​ ​Dehydration​ ​or​ ​inadequate​ ​water​ ​intake​ ​such​ ​as​ ​high​ ​fever,​ ​sweating,​ ​diuresis​ ​can
cause​ ​blood​ ​concentration​ ​and​ ​reduced​ ​blood​ ​flow​ ​in​ ​the​ ​kidneys.​ ​Creatinine​ ​will
increase.

2.​ ​Over-tiredness,​ ​lack​ ​of​ ​rest​ ​can​ ​cause​ ​elevation​ ​of​ ​creatinine​ ​level.

3.​ ​Urine​ ​abnormalities​ ​such​ ​as​ ​long​ ​term​ ​hematuria,​ ​proteinuria​ ​can​ ​be​ ​accompanied​ ​by
high​ ​creatinine.

4.​ ​Intake​ ​of​ ​drugs​ ​that​ ​have​ ​renal​ ​toxicity​ ​can​ ​cause​ ​high​ ​creatinine​ ​which​ ​can​ ​even​ ​be
irreversible.

5.​ ​If​ ​renal​ ​dysfunction​ ​patients​ ​have​ ​infections​ ​such​ ​as​ ​cold,​ ​pneumonia,​ ​intestinal
infection,​ ​urinary​ ​tract​ ​infections​ ​can​ ​increase​ ​creatinine​ ​level​ ​in​ ​short​ ​time.

6.​ ​Badly​ ​controlled​ ​high​ ​blood​ ​pressure​ ​can​ ​cause​ ​high​ ​creatinine.

7.​ ​Kidney​ ​disease​ ​patients​ ​with​ ​recurrent​ ​illness​ ​conditions​ ​can​ ​have​ ​high​ ​creatinine
levels.

Symptoms​ ​of​ ​high​ ​creatinine​ ​patients

Reduced​ ​urine​ ​output

 Creatinine

Darkened​ ​color​ ​of​ ​urine

Swelling​ ​around​ ​the​ ​eyes,​ ​in​ ​the​ ​face,​ ​feet,​ ​etc

Back​ ​pain​ ​or​ ​waist​ ​pain

Fatigue,​ ​lethargy

Low​ ​fever

Loss​ ​of​ ​appetite

Headache

Confused​ ​or​ ​disoriented

Shortness​ ​of​ ​breath

Proper​ ​diets​ ​for​ ​lowering​ ​high​ ​creatinine

Low-salt.​ ​If​ ​patients​ ​only​ ​have​ ​high​ ​creatinine​ ​without​ ​edema​ ​or​ ​high​ ​blood​ ​pressure,
low-salt​ ​diet​ ​is​ ​okay.​ ​If​ ​patients​ ​have​ ​severe​ ​edema​ ​and​ ​high​ ​blood​ ​pressure,​ ​they​ ​need
to​ ​have​ ​strict​ ​restriction​ ​on​ ​salt​ ​intake​ ​or​ ​even​ ​no​ ​salt​ ​in​ ​their​ ​diets.

Low-protein.​ ​Low-protein​ ​diets​ ​can​ ​reduce​ ​the​ ​production​ ​of​ ​nitrogenous​ ​wastes​ ​and
relieve​ ​uremic​ ​states​ ​and​ ​reduce​ ​burdens​ ​to​ ​the​ ​kidneys​ ​so​ ​as​ ​to​ ​help​ ​slow​ ​down​ ​illness
progression.

High-vitamin.​ ​High​ ​creatinine​ ​patients​ ​should​ ​have​ ​foods​ ​that​ ​contain​ ​rich​ ​vitamin​ ​A,
vitamin​ ​B2​ ​and​ ​vitamin​ ​C.

Traditional​ ​Chinese​ ​Medicine​ ​Combined​ ​with​ ​Western​ ​Treatment​ ​Aim​ ​at​ ​Reduce​ ​the
Creatinine​ ​level.

Ketosteril.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​one​ ​important​ ​non-dialysis​ ​treatment​ ​for​ ​kidney​ ​failure​ ​patients.​ ​It​ ​can
help​ ​lower​ ​creatinine​ ​level,​ ​alleviate​ ​symptoms​ ​and​ ​complications,​ ​slow​ ​down​ ​illness
progression​ ​and​ ​protect​ ​residual​ ​kidney​ ​functions.

Dialysis.​ ​Dialysis​ ​functions​ ​as​ ​artificial​ ​kidney​ ​to​ ​remove​ ​excessive​ ​water,​ ​electrolytes
and​ ​toxic​ ​substances​ ​such​ ​as​ ​creatinine,​ ​uric​ ​acid​ ​and​ ​urea​ ​out​ ​of​ ​the​ ​body.

Chinese​ ​medicines.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​many​ ​natural​ ​herbs​ ​and​ ​treatments​ ​that​ ​can​ ​help​ ​cleanse
the​ ​kidneys​ ​and​ ​improve​ ​renal​ ​filtering​ ​functions​ ​so​ ​as​ ​to​ ​wash​ ​more​ ​creatinine​ ​and
other​ ​wastes​ ​out​ ​of​ ​the​ ​body.​ ​The​ ​most​ ​famous​ ​and​ ​effective​ ​one​ ​is​ ​Micro-Chinese
Medicine​ ​Osmotherapy.

Kidney​ ​transplant.​ ​Kidney​ ​transplant​ ​can​ ​enable​ ​the​ ​patients​ ​new​ ​kidney​ ​functions.

Immunotherapy.​ ​Immunotherapy​ ​is​ ​the​ ​combination​ ​of​ ​Chinese​ ​medicines​ ​and​ ​western
medicines​ ​which​ ​aims​ ​at​ ​repairing​ ​renal​ ​damages​ ​and​ ​improving​ ​kidney​ ​functions.​ ​It​ ​is
no​ ​surgery​ ​and​ ​can​ ​help​ ​lower​ ​high​ ​creatinine​ ​naturally.

TCM​ ​Acupuncture​ ​Points​ ​to​ ​Lower​ ​Creatinine​ ​Levels

TCM​ ​Acupuncture​ ​Points​ ​More​ ​and​ ​more​ ​kidney​ ​disease​ ​patients​ ​tend​ ​to​ ​choose​ ​TCM
(Traditional​ ​Chinese​ ​Medicine)​ ​to​ ​lower​ ​creatinine​ ​levels.​ ​Here​ ​we​ ​will​ ​talk​ ​about
acupuncture​ ​points​ ​and​ ​kidney​ ​diseases.​ ​However,​ ​can​ ​it​ ​lower​ ​creatinine​ ​levels?

Acupuncture​ ​point​ ​treatment​ ​has​ ​evolved​ ​over​ ​thousands​ ​of​ ​years.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​called​ ​empirical
science​ ​when​ ​Acupuncture​ ​point​ ​have​ ​been​ ​systematically​ ​tried​ ​and​ ​observed​ ​for
functions​ ​and​ ​treatment​ ​efficacy.​ ​Now​ ​we​ ​will​ ​see​ ​what​ ​benefits​ ​can​ ​acupuncture​ ​points
bring​ ​to​ ​kidney​ ​disease​ ​patients.

-Acupuncture​ ​points​ ​can​ ​eliminate​ ​thrombus,​ ​promote​ ​blood​ ​circulation​ ​and​ ​increase​ ​the
blood​ ​flow​ ​to​ ​kidneys,​ ​so​ ​it​ ​can​ ​help​ ​improve​ ​the​ ​hypoxic-ischemic​ ​state​ ​in​ ​kidneys
greatly,​ ​thus​ ​relieving​ ​renal​ ​damage,​ ​providing​ ​essential​ ​nutrients​ ​and​ ​repairing
damaged​ ​kidney​ ​inherent​ ​cells.

-Kidney​ ​Disease​ ​patients​ ​usually​ ​experience​ ​fatigue​ ​and​ ​poor​ ​appetite​ ​because​ ​of​ ​the
accumulation​ ​of​ ​wastes​ ​and​ ​toxins​ ​in​ ​the​ ​blood.​ ​However,​ ​acupuncture​ ​points​ ​can​ ​help
relieve​ ​these​ ​symptoms.

-Help​ ​control​ ​blood​ ​pressure.

-Adjust​ ​immune​ ​system​ ​to​ ​enhance​ ​immunity,​ ​thus​ ​improving​ ​the​ ​disease​ ​resistance
and​ ​reducing​ ​the​ ​possibility​ ​to​ ​getting​ ​colds​ ​and​ ​infections.

From​ ​the​ ​information​ ​mentioned​ ​above,​ ​we​ ​can​ ​know​ ​that​ ​TCM​ ​acupuncture​ ​points​ ​can
lower​ ​creatinine​ ​level​ ​to​ ​a​ ​certain​ ​degree.​ ​When​ ​we​ ​use​ ​acupuncture​ ​points​ ​to​ ​treat
kidney​ ​disease,​ ​the​ ​acupuncture​ ​points​ ​used​ ​mainly​ ​include​ ​Dazhui​ ​(GV​ ​14),​ ​lienal​ ​Yu,
Zhangmen​ ​(Liv​ ​13),​ ​shenshu,​ ​Qihai​ ​(CV6),​ ​Zusanli​ ​acupoint,​ ​Taixi​ ​(K​ ​3),​ ​etc.

Though​ ​can​ ​acupuncture​ ​points​ ​be​ ​helpful​ ​in​ ​lowering​ ​creatinine​ ​levels,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​not​ ​enough
to​ ​treat​ ​kidney​ ​diseases​ ​alone.​ ​Nowadays,​ ​in​ ​the​ ​clinic,​ ​acupuncture​ ​points​ ​and​ ​other
Chinese​ ​medicine​ ​therapies​ ​like​ ​medicated​ ​bath,​ ​foot​ ​bath,​ ​oral​ ​Chinese​ ​herbal
medicine,​ ​herbal​ ​enema​ ​therapy,​ ​Micro-Chinese​ ​Medicine​ ​Osmotherapy,​ ​etc​ ​are​ ​used
together​ ​to​ ​help​ ​patients​ ​repair​ ​kidney​ ​damage​ ​and​ ​recover​ ​renal​ ​function,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​the
reason​ ​why​ ​more​ ​and​ ​more​ ​foreign​ ​patients​ ​come​ ​to​ ​China​ ​for​ ​treatment.​ ​You​ ​are
