One of chronic kidney disease patients leave a message in facebook that he
has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and the eGFR is around 30 and
creatine is 1.7. He wants to know how serious the condition is and what measures
he can take.
There is no doubt that both eGFR( which equals GFR) and serum creatinine are
references for the judgment of the kidney function.(High Creatinine Level) In contrast, GFR is more
accurate and scientific, which is accepted by labs in most countries. On the
basis of GFR, chronic kidney disease can be divided into five stages.
In stage 1, the GFR is more than 90 mL/min/1.73m2.
In stage 2, the GFR is between 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73m2.
In stage 3, the GFR is between 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73m2.
In stage 4, the GFR is between 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73m2.
In stage 5, the GFR is less than 15. In this stage, most patients are under
dialysis.
From the above, we can get a conclusion that eGFR is around 30 means that
this patient is in stage 3. Stage 3 is a critical stage, in which patients can
reverse. However, if the treatment is not timely or effective, this patient will
develop into stage 4, which makes it more difficulty for them to recover.
In most countries, patients receive western medicine. If the disease is
caused by immune disorder, they will take immunosuppressive agents. After
treating, they will find out that the effect is not so satisfactory. In
Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we have researched out the combination of
western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, which is a brand new immune
therapy so far. Generally, it can be divided into 6 steps, which go as
follows:scientific diagnosis, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune
adjustment, immune protection and immune clearance. For more information, please
