Is it serious with creatinine level 1.5
Is it serious with creatinine level 1.5? Many patients with kidney disease may have similar questions. As we know, creatinine level is a common and effective standard to judge the kidney condition of patients with kidney disease. Thereby, what can we know if a patient have creatinine level 1.5?
Creatinine is the metabolic production of muscles, and it is a toxic substance, which will be excreted through urination. The creatinine level in our blood changes in a stable ranges, and the normal creatinine levels in man and woman are different. It is 0.6~1.2mg/dL in man, and it is 0.5~1.1mg/dL in woman. So if a person has creatinine level 1.5, we may think it is just a small rise.
In fact, kidney has strong compensation, the creatinine level will not rise until more than half of kidney function has been damaged. Therefore, when a person has creatinine level 1.5, and this is caused by kidney disease, we can know most of his kidney function has already been damaged. Patients should take positive measures as soon as possible.
In this condition, patients may have many symptoms. For example, patients may find there are many changes in their urine, like foamy urine, colored urine and frequent urine at night, Which means there are lot of proteins and minerals leaking into the urine, and patients’ kidney tubules may already have been damaged. Besides, patients may have fatigue, which is caused by anemia, and anemia also means the loss of protein. Certainly, many other complications will also appear when the creatinine level is high.
What’s more, even though patients can find some changes in their body, the complications are not serous until more than two thirds of their kidney function has been damaged, so patients should realize that more and more kidney function are being damaged.
As a result, if kidney disease causes patients’ creatinine level 1.5, we can say it is already very serious. On the other hand, there may not be any therapy that can cure the kidney disease of this stage, but right treatment can effectively control patients’ condition and prolong their lifetime, so patients should accept treatments positively.
