Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is long-standing, progressive deterioration of renal function. Symptoms develop slowly and include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, dysgeusia, nocturia, lassitude, fatigue, pruritus, decreased mental acuity, muscle twitches and cramps, water retention, undernutrition, peripheral neuropathies, and seizures. Diagnosis is based on laboratory testing of renal function, sometimes followed by renal biopsy. Treatment is primarily directed at the underlying condition but includes fluid and electrolyte management, erythropoietin for anemia, and often dialysis or transplantation.
Dialysis
Dialysis is usually initiated at the onset of any uremic symptoms (eg, anorexia, nausea vomiting, weight loss, pericarditis, pleuritis), or difficulty controlling fluid overload, hyperkalemia or acidosis. These problems typically occur when the estimated GFR reaches ≤ 10 mL/min in a patient without diabetes or ≤ 15 mL/min in a patient with diabetes; patients whose estimated GFR values are near these values should be closely monitored so that these signs and symptoms are recognized early. Dialysis is best anticipated so that preparations can be made and urgent insertion of a hemodialysis catheter can be avoided. Such preparations usually begin when the patient is in early to mid stage 4 CKD; preparation allows time for patient education, selection of the type of dialysis, and timely creation of an arteriovenous fistula or placement of a peritoneal dialysis catheter. (For dialysis preparation, see Hemodialysis.)
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the best treatment to reduce high creatinine level, because this treatment mainly aims at improving kidney function.
