Q: I was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease and my creatinine level is
0.9. Is it normal? What does it indicate?
A: Creatinine is the muscle waste products which should be filtered out in
normal condition. If creatinine level elevates, your kidney functions will fail
down in most cases. The normal creatinine range is in males at age 4-20 years
are 0.2-1.2 mg/dL, at age 20-69 are 0.7-1.5 mg/dL and above 70 years are 0.7-1.7
mg/dL. The normal level of creatinine in females at age 4-20 years are 0.2-1.2
mg/dL, at age 20-69 years 0.6-1.4 mg/dL and above 70 years are 0.6-1.5 mg/dL.
Thereby, 0.9 is a normal for you.
With a normal creatinine, it means that your Polycystic Kidney Disease stays
in the early stage when is the best time to control your kidney condition. If
you are diagnosed with PKD, when your creatinine levels are still normal, you
are the lucky one for you have a great chance to get your renal cysts controlled
and lead a normal life.
If you fail to take immediate measure, especially you are in or after your
30s, your kidney functions will drop quickly and most of them will not be
reserved.
In your condition, polycystic kidney disease doesn’t boom and the larger
cysts have not affected your kidneys too much yet. For small sized cysts,
surgery fails to make sense. However, we can not miss the best chance to wait
for the cyst to grow up.
In this condition, Chinese herbal medicine will be a good choice. Chinese
herbal medicine can take effects on lining cells which generate cyst fluids
constantly. This is why cysts keep enlarging.
Firstly, Chinese herbal medicines can stop the proliferation of lining cells.
In this way, renal cysts will stop to increase in size and in number.
Secondly, Chinese herbal medicines transform lining cells structure to absorb
cyst liquids instead of secret cyst fluids. When lining cells absorb ability
surpass secreting ability, surely you will experience the shrinkage of all renal
cysts.
As long as your renal cysts are controlled in a certain size which will not
harm your kidneys, you are expected to live a normal life with the kidney
disease.
