How to treat high urea nitrogen and creatinine
Burea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) are important indicators for evaluating kidney function, and their elevation may indicate abnormal kidney function or other health problems. In recent years, with changes in lifestyle and the increase in the incidence of chronic diseases, high urea nitrogen and creatinine have become one of the hot health topics. This article will combine the hot content of the entire Internet in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the treatment methods for high urea nitrogen and creatinine, and provide structured data for reference.
1. Reasons for high urea nitrogen and creatinine

Elevated urea nitrogen and creatinine are often associated with:
| Cause classification | specific factors |
|---|---|
| kidney disease | Acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, etc. |
| non-renal factors | Dehydration, high-protein diet, medication side effects (such as antibiotics, diuretics) |
| systemic disease | Heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, etc. |
2. Treatment methods for high urea nitrogen and creatinine
Treatment requires a personalized plan based on the cause. The following are common treatments:
| Treatment direction | Specific measures | Applicable situations |
|---|---|---|
| Cause treatment | Control basic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes; stop taking nephrotoxic drugs | Secondary renal dysfunction |
| diet modification | Low protein diet (0.6-0.8g/kg/day), limit sodium intake | Chronic kidney disease patients |
| drug treatment | ACEI/ARB drugs (such as irbesartan), diuretics | Hypertension with abnormal renal function |
| dialysis treatment | hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis | End stage renal disease patients |
3. Recent popular treatment trends (data in the past 10 days)
According to hot spot monitoring across the entire network, the following topics are highly discussed:
| topic | heat index | core ideas |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional Chinese Medicine Assisted Treatment | 85 | Rhubarb preparations, astragalus and other traditional Chinese medicines improve kidney function |
| Novel biomarkers | 78 | Discussion on cystatin C instead of creatinine detection |
| Home management plan | 92 | Smart wearable devices monitor changes in kidney function |
4. Prevention and daily management suggestions
1.Regular monitoring: High-risk groups should have their kidney function checked every 3-6 months
2.Scientific drinking water: Keep the daily water intake at 1500-2000ml (patients with heart failure must follow doctor’s advice)
3.Sports management: Moderate aerobic exercise (such as brisk walking, swimming) and avoid strenuous exercise
4.drug vigilance: Use NSAIDs analgesics (such as ibuprofen) and some antibiotics with caution
5. Typical Case References
| patient type | initial indicator | treatment plan | Improved after 3 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| diabetic nephropathy patients | BUN 28mg/dL, Cr 2.4mg/dL | SGLT2 inhibitor + low protein diet | BUN↓18%, Cr↓15% |
| Dehydration causes elevated | BUN 35mg/dL, Cr 1.9mg/dL | Rehydrate + stop diuretics | Indicators return to normal |
Important reminder: This article is for reference only. Specific treatment plans must be formulated by a nephrologist based on comprehensive examination results. If you find that your urea nitrogen and creatinine levels continue to rise, you should promptly seek medical attention for further examinations such as urine routine and renal ultrasound.
From the above structured data analysis, it can be seen that the treatment of high urea nitrogen and creatinine requires a multi-pronged approach, combining etiological treatment, lifestyle intervention and regular monitoring. Recently, auxiliary traditional Chinese medicine therapy and home monitoring technology have become new focuses of attention, but traditional drug treatment is still the cornerstone of clinical practice. Patients are advised to maintain scientific knowledge and avoid blindly following informal therapies.
