How to Treat People with High Creatinine Level in BloodHow to treat people with high creatinine in blood? When creatinine level becomes higher than the normal range 0.5-1.3mg/dL, we should be alert as it might indicate serious kidney damages. Therefore, at that moment, we need to have further tests to see if serum creatinine level increases due to kidney disease. If yes, we are usually treated in the following way:

1. Control all the symptoms with oral medications

Symptoms like high blood pressure, proteinuria and anemia, though appear due to decreased kidney function, accelerates illness directly. For this reason, we need to bring them under control, so that we can treat kidney problem and lower high creatinine level into normal range effectively. Many medications like ACE inhibitors and ARBs can be used to help us achieve the goal of controlling symptoms and what medications are prescribed needs to base on patients’ specific illness condition.

Creatinine level in blood increases with the decrease of kidney function. Viewed from this aspect, protecting residual kidney tissues from being damaged is very important. Kidney is responsible for excreting excessive creatinien in blood, so only when healthy kidney function is protected effectively, can creatinine level be stopped from becoming much higher.

In a healthy kidney, there are tens and thousands of kidney intrinsic cells like glomerular epithelial cell and glomerular mesangial cell and so on. These kidney intrinsic cells play different role while kidneys function. When they are damaged and fail to function properly for some reasons, kidney function decreases. Therefore, repairing injured kidney intrinsic cells to strengthen kidney function is also an essential part. Generally speaking, when injured kidney intrinsic cells are repaired, kidney function increases. Under such a condition, excess creatinine in blood will be discharged successfully. Therefore, repairing injured kidney cells is very important for kidney disease patients to effectively lower their creatinine level.
