To know that reduce creatinine ultimate goal is not

Creatine is an amino acid that naturally occurs in the body, but it can also be purchased as a dietary supplement designed to enhance athletic performance, typically found in pill or powder form to be taken with liquids. Creatine monohydrate, the most common formula of the supplement, has increasingly been used as a substitute for steroids, and many people who would never touch steroids have claimed to use creatine as a legal performance enhancer. Users should be aware, however, that as with many steroids, high creatine levels in the body have been found to have adverse effects such as an upset stomach, dehydration, or kidneyproblems. While any long-term side effects have yet to be discovered, some athletes choose to avoid the possibility of short-term side effects altogether.But I must warn you, lowering creatinine SHOULD NOT be your ultimate goal, it is only secondary to the bigger picture… (keep reading to find out why).
After many years study, and lengthy clinical trials, creatinine was found to be the best indicator of kidney function. Why? Well, there are a few reasons for this, and they are as follows:
1. Creatinine is produced in a relatively constant rate – (expect during strenuous exercise where it increases*)
2. Creatinine is mainly eliminated from the body via the kidneys
3. Creatinine has virtually no reabsorption within the kidneys – meaning there no recycling of creatinine back into the blood stream. Reabsorption would cause a skew in the results, making this molecule a poorer choice for assessing kidney function.
High creatinine is caused by the damaged kidneys. So this therapy aims to repair the damaged kidney inherent cells and recover the kidney function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy include the Chinese herbal medicine and osmosis device. It is used externally on the acupoint of kidneys, patients just need to lie on the bed, with the help of osmosis device, the active materials of Chinese herbal medicine can directly get to the kidneys and come into play. The functions of this therapy include: lower blood pressure, eliminate the immune complexes depositing in the kidneys, improve blood circulation, provide the nutrient substance for kidneys and enhance the immunity. The treatment effect of this therapy needs time to be proved, which is the characteristic of Chinese herbal medicine. After the damaged kidneys are repaired and the kidney function is recovered, the high creatinine levels will decrease naturally.
