Brennan John, a 73-year-old American diagnosed with hypertensive renal impairment and Stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD4), found renewed confidence in life after Hot Compress Therapy at Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital helped lower his creatinine and BUN levels within just one month. His journey from a decades-long battle with high blood pressure to advanced kidney disease illustrates how targeted TCM therapy can produce measurable improvements even in later-stage CKD.[shijiazhuanghetaihenghospital]
Why Did John Come to China for Treatment?
John’s health journey began 35 years ago when a physical examination revealed elevated blood pressure, reaching as high as 170/100mmHg, though he experienced no symptoms like headaches or dizziness at the time. Hypotensor medication kept his blood pressure steadily controlled for years, until 6 years ago when his kidney function began to decline, with creatinine levels first reaching 1.6mg/dl.[shijiazhuanghetaihenghospital]
Despite oral medication, his creatinine climbed from 2.2 to 2.4 within a year, prompting a critical decision: “I recognized that I could not wait any more, otherwise, a kidney transplant would be my last choice. Thanks to God, it guided me to come to China for treatment”.[shijiazhuanghetaihenghospital]
