Doctor, kidney disease has just been found out, and serum creatinine has increased. Can it cause uremia? "When it comes to serum creatinine, many kidney friends will be associated with uremia. Some patients are lucky. At the time of initial diagnosis, creatinine has not increased, indicating that renal function damage is still light and there is a lot of room for treatment. However, when some patients were diagnosed with nephropathy for the first time, creatinine had obviously increased, and it had developed to the stage of renal failure, accompanied by various complications, which made it difficult to treat and increased the risk of uremia. However, it should be clear that the increase of creatinine cannot be completely equivalent to uremia, renal insufficiency may occur in time, and uremia may not necessarily occur. What is the real significance of creatinine increase besides being an "indicator" of uremia? Creatinine is a small molecule. Under normal circumstances, it is filtered through glomerulus, hardly reabsorbed by renal tubules, and excreted through urine. Generally, the amount of endogenous creatinine has a great relationship with the amount of muscle in the body. For example, muscular people who exercise regularly measure creatinine slightly higher than those with less muscle content. However, when the renal function is damaged, the glomerular filtration rate decreases, and the accumulation of creatinine in the body is a "toxin". When there is inflammation in the kidney, the creatinine will be higher than106 μ mol/l; When renal insufficiency progresses, creatinine is higher than186 μ mol/l; When renal failure occurs, creatinine is higher than 443 μ mol/L; At the end stage of renal failure, that is, uremia, creatinine exceeds 707 μ mol/L. From the above four stages, it can be seen that the quality of renal function determines the level of creatinine, which is not uremia caused by creatinine increase, but also the "victim" of renal function deterioration, so creatinine increase does not necessarily represent uremia. The purpose of reducing creatinine is to reduce the metabolic burden of the kidney and create a better environment for the generation of renal function. It is conceivable that if the kidney is surrounded by a pile of "garbage", it will slowly corrode. At present, there is no specific medicine to reduce creatinine, but don't worry. Some auxiliary methods can also help relieve the pressure of renal function. There are two main methods: First, Chinese medicine regulates and repairs some damaged cells. After the kidney is damaged, the glomerulus, renal tubules, renal interstitium and other tissues are destroyed. These necrotic tissues will not only block the blood circulation of the kidney, but also aggravate the state of ischemia and hypoxia of the kidney, which is not conducive to the protection of residual renal function. It can speed up blood circulation and help improve renal ischemia through TCM conditioning and TCM characteristic therapy, such as Du Moxibustion, Moxibustion and medicated bath. Then protect the residual glomerulus, keep the residual renal function stable, and reduce creatinine. Second, it is very important to control stress and prevent infection. Continued increase in blood pressure will cause intraglomerular pressure in the kidney, accelerate glomerular arteriosclerosis, and is not conducive to the smooth discharge of toxins such as creatinine. However, frequent infection will lead to repeated inflammation of the kidney, and immune inflammatory reaction will lead to the increase of immune complexes, and then the accumulation of toxins will increase. At this time, the kidneys are congested, and with the increase of toxins, the excretion of creatinine will only be less and less. Therefore, kidney friends maintain stable renal function, do not want creatinine to continue to rise, but also pay attention to lowering blood pressure, actively take antihypertensive drugs, and a light diet will help control blood pressure. To prevent infection, you can inject vaccines in advance, match diet and nutrition, exercise properly and pay attention to personal hygiene.
