After getting the physical examination report, many friends may be confused about the series of test data above. Even after the doctor explains it, they are still a little confused. Those strange names and different concentrations of ingredients may arouse the curiosity of many people. And creatinine may be the one that is mentioned more.
Simply put, creatinine is a metabolite of human muscle cells. It is a waste product produced by the body. In a normal human body, it will be filtered by the glomerulus and then excreted in the urine. Then the creatinine content is naturally closely related to the blood creatinine concentration, kidney function and muscle metabolism. In medical testing, the important indicator of kidney health must be determined by creatinine.
When the creatinine content in the body exceeds the standard, it means that there may be a problem with the kidneys. If not treated in time, it may lead to uremia and other diseases. Please learn more about these 4 ways to lower creatinine.
1. There are many reasons why anti-infective drugs
induce an increase in creatinine, one of which is abnormal immune function. When the body's immunity declines, it may lead to frequent bacterial infections, damage kidney function, and lead to proteinuria, abnormal creatinine and other conditions.
In this case, the use of acute anti-infective drugs can help the body disinfect, sterilize and reduce inflammation, alleviate the degree of infection and help kidney function return to normal. When the body is able to metabolize creatinine on its own, its concentration naturally decreases.
2. Rehydration therapy
Abnormally elevated creatinine may also be caused by insufficient renal blood volume, which will cause renal cells to be hypoxic and hydrated. When the blood circulation is reduced, creatinine will be concentrated in the blood, which will lead to an increase in the amount of blood poison .
At this time, remember to ask the doctor to help inject normal saline or glucose solution to help restore the blood flow rate and replenish water and oxygen to the kidneys in time. This can help speed up toxin metabolism, thereby normalizing creatinine concentrations.
3. Immunotherapy
If sudden diseases such as uric acid nephropathy and uric acid acute kidney stones occur in the kidney, causing the creatinine concentration to rise rapidly in a short period of time, break through the threshold or even reach above 200 μmol/L, then Immunotherapy of should be considered for .
provides the body with drugs such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus through injection, inhibits renal inflammatory response, reduces urine protein content, thereby gradually reducing blood creatinine concentration.
However, these drugs are hormonal drugs and may cause a series of side effects after consumption, so extra caution is required.
4. Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine also has certain research on regulating kidney function. Acupuncture, Massage, and foot therapy are all beneficial to protecting the kidneys and replenishing qi. Clinically, combined treatment with diet therapy to nourish the kidneys, to remove dampness fossils, to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, etc., is effective in reducing creatinine concentration, accelerating detoxification and improving kidney function. However, TCM is difficult to measure. If you use this method to recuperate, you should seek help from a professional TCM expert and don’t just ask anyone to treat you.
In short, creatinine is a common product in human metabolism, and its concentration can indeed feedback the health of the body. However, you don’t have to worry too much. A reasonable diet and exercise can prevent its concentration from exceeding the standard. Even if it exceeds the threshold, there are many conditioning methods. , please relax.
