Dr. Zhao Xinju
Elevated creatinine levels can generally be reduced. If the patient has mild elevation of creatinine, it is recommended to use medications such as Wuduqing granules under a doctor's guidance to help lower creatinine levels. However, if the creatinine level is severely elevated, medication alone is usually insufficient for a cure, and the patient will need to undergo kidney replacement therapy at a hospital, such as peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis.
