What are the Effects of Ketosteril for Lowering Creatinine



Ketosteril is generally known as Compound α-Ketoacid Tablets and it is used for preventing and treating renal damages due to protein metabolism disorder in chronic kidney disease and the effects are better with low-protein diets. It is usually applied to those that have glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 25ml/min and the standard of low-protein diet is 40g/day or less for adults.

There are many treatments for chronic renal failure and in recent years both eastern and western scholars advocate the use of ketosteril to treat chronic kidney disease and help lower creatinine level. Metabolic disorders of protein, amino acid are very common among renal failure patients and they are in a state of negative nitrogen balance. Ketosteril can supply amino acid and reduce the producing of urea and help lower the level of creatinine and urea nitrogen and at the same time improve the nutritional status.
The combination of ketosteril and low-protein diet can achieve the following functions:
1. Alleviate the symptoms of uremia. The symptoms and discomforts of uremia are caused by the excessive accumulation of metabolic wastes of proteins.
2. Protect the remaining renal functions and slow down the progression of illness conditions.
3. Guarantee the patients’ nutrition even with obvious reduction of protein intake.
4. Improve the metabolic complications due to renal insufficiency.
Ketosteril does have certain effects on lowering creatinine, but it still depends on the patients’ illness and physical conditions and patients should not rely on ketosteril only. The root cause of increased creatinine level is the damage of renal intrinsic cells and tissues and the decreased ability of the glomerular filtration, therefore when the damaged parts are repaired and the glomerular filtration rate is improved the accumulated creatinine and other wastes will be filtered out of the body by the kidneys and the creatinine level will decrease naturally. Micro-Chinese Medicine has the functions of softening and dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradation of extracellular matrix. It can block the process of renal fibrosis, repair damaged renal intrinsic cells and tissues and rebuild kidney structure and functions so as to lower creatinine naturally and from the root.
