Man with Creatinine 1.3
What can we know from creatinine 1.3 in man? Many people may have heard that creatinine is often used in medicine test to judge kidney condition, but they may not very clear about what creatinine 1.3 stands for.
Creatinine is the metabolic product of muscles. Our muscle metabolism can produce it, and it can also be increased by the meat we take. It is useless to our body health, thereby, almost all the creatinine produced will be excreted out through urine in the same day, and the creatinine level in our blood changes in a stable range.
On the other hand, our kidneys have strong compensation, and if only more than half kidney function is normal, our kidneys can do their work well. Thereby, the creatinine level will not rise until more than half kidney function is damaged.
Creatinine is muscle’s metabolic waste, so the normal creatinine level in man and woman is different, because the muscle amount has big difference between man and woman. The normal creatinine level in man is 0.6~1.2ml/min, and the normal creatinine level in woman is 0.5~1.1ml/min. Thereby, creatinine 1.3 in man is a little higher than its normal level.
As we have said, the creatinine will not rise until more than half kidney function has been damaged. So if a man has creatinine 1.3, it means his kidney damage has already been very severe.
In fact, patients may not have any obvious symptom when their creatinine level is 1.3, and many patients may think their condition is not severe at this time.
Conversely, patients should accept treatment positively in this time, and they should regulate their diet and life habits, because these can improve their condition obviously. Besides, emotion has a significant influence on our health condition, so it is important for patients to keep a good emotion.
In the end, if you have find your creatinine is 1.3, remember to take your health seriously.
