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.
