Creatinine is an important lab index for measuring kidney function. Kidney
compensatory function is very powerful, for this reason, creatinine level
increases only when renal filtration rate has decreased for over 50 percent.
Thereby, the post-transplantation sufferers are very concerned about their serum
creatinine levels. If you have not grasped a full understanding about it, the
following will introduce more details.
Creatinine after renal transplantation
Can Kidney Failure Be Treated Without Transplantation
Generally, normal serum creatinine in male adults is 0.7-1.3mmol/dl and
0.6-1.2mmol/dl in adult females. For persons born with one kidney, the serum
creatinine range is 0.8-1.9mmol/dl. For the new infants, the serum creatinine is
just 0.2mmol/l. As creatinine is linked to muscular constitute, normal serum
creatinine level in muscular young man may be higher than others who are
not.
What if serum creatinine level is slightly elevated after renal
transplantation?
Some patients gain weight after renal transplantation, however, as is
emphasized by nephrologists, what they gain may be most fat instead of muscle.
Muscle strengthening is usually gained through physical activities. Meat is an
exogenous source of serum creatinine. In case one eats excess meat latently, the
serum creatinine test reading is likely to elevate. In this condition, it is
advised that the patient should follow vegetarian diet for three days and then
do another lab test. Combined renal function test(GFR) will help to make sure
whether the new kidney is functioning well.
Why serum creatinine is rising gradually after kidney transplantation?
Risk Factors for Recurrent FSGS after Kidney Transplantation
It is the common issue faced to most post renal transplantation sufferers. As
we know, the human body immune system will recognize the new kidney as foreign,
so the rejection problem will occur. Immunosuppressive medicines prescribed to
the patients will help to reduce rejection, but chronic repulsion problem will
still happen, leading to chronic impairment to the transplanted kidney. In
addition, gradual serum creatinine elevation is also seen due to relapse of the
primary disease. Kidney transplantation doesn’t remove the primary diseases and
genetic defects, such as Diabetes, Lupus, Purpura, etc. In this condition, serum
creatinine is likely to rise again and patients may experience certain renal
symptoms such as blood in urine, protein in urine, swelling, high blood
pressure, etc.
Well then, how to stop creatinine rising for post renal transplantation
sufferers?
Treatment of Recurrent CKD After Kidney Transplantation
If we want to lower the creatinine and stop it from increasing, we need to
treat the underlying renal intrinsic cell impairment. Traditional Chinese
medicine, containing many microelements and active ingredients, will help
regulate the human body immune system, accelerate blood transportation to the
new kidneys and inactivate pathogenic stasis and inflammatory factors so as to
offer a good environment for kidney repairing and well protect transplanted
kidney from being attacked.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is a natural and safe remedy, and the
functioning process is a gradual improvement one. When latent stem cell
treatment is combined, the immune system restoration and kidney repairing
process will be accelerated so that creatinine will be lowered gradually.
