My 21 years old sister is suffering from Lupus Nephritis and creatinine 4.4.
Could you please advise on her disease?
Hello friend how are you? We are from Kidney Disease Hospital in China. You
have consulted us about your 21 years old sister's condition of Lupus Nephritis
and creatinine 4.4. Given below is our advice for your reference.
Why does the creatinine go high? You know, the creatinine is the wastes of
muscle metabolism and they should be filtered through our kidneys' glomeruli and
then discharged out by urine. If the glomeruli are damaged and GFR(glomerular
filtration function) decreases, these wastes will not be let off, then these
toxins will stay in the blood, that is why the serum creatinine shows high. High
creatinine means high toxins in body. Generally speaking once the creatinine
level is higher, there is more than 50% kidney function has been damaged. But
many factors can affect the creatinine level after kidney damaged, such as the
exercise and meat etc. So you should pay attention to your daily care. You had
better have the low salt, low fat and high quality protein diet. Food may do
some help however it can not cure disease from root. But pls do not worry as
timely treatment can make your condition much better.
China is the home of Chinese medicine. You know China is rather famous for
the Chinese herb remedy with little side effects and the Chinese herb medicine
has been proved to be with great effectiveness in improving the blood
circulation inner the kidney and protecting the kidney function.
