How Can Kidney Failure Patients Live Well with Creatinine 1000umol/L

For kidney failure patients with creatinine level of 1000 they are now suffering many symptoms and complications, some of them have been put on dialysis, which may bring more pain to them. Then how can kidney disease patients live well with creatinine 1000umol/L ?
Creatinine level of 1000 means the condition has already developed into the end stage of kidney disease, we can call it End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or stage 5 chronic kidney disease or Uremia. At this stage, patients are likely to experience a series of symptoms like high blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, itching, muscle cramps, difficulty breathing and so on, also some complications such as anemia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases may appear. Generally speaking, patients with creatinine level of 1000 have already been on dialysis, because these symptoms and complications need treating, it they are left alone, some of them can be life-threatening. But people should know that the need of dialysis has no a direct relation with a pure creatinine level. If patients with creatinine level of 1000 have not suffered some obvious symptoms and complications, they may have not experienced dialysis yet.
Many people believe that dialysis and kidney transplant are the only two choice when the condition develops ESRD. As a matter of fact, kidney disease experts think that kidney transplant will be the last choice unless the kidneys are not working at all.
How to help patients live well with creatinine level of 1000?
If they have been on dialysis, there still has the possibility to stop dialysis. Of course, it can not be stopped immediately. Sometimes dialysis must be used, but it is not a long-term method. If the kidney disease can be repaired and kidney function can be improved gradually, then the dialysis frequency will be reduced, then patients may get rid of dialysis. While if they have not experienced dialysis yet, such a kind of treatment seems to be more important to help prevent dialysis and kidney transplant.
With the recovery of kidney function, creatinine level of 1000 can be reduced gradually. Lowering creatinine level should not be the final purpose, but saving our own kidneys and improving the quality of life. Have you been on dialysis?
