Should I Worry If My Creatinine Level Is 1.3
Should I worry if my creatinine level is 1.3? Patients with kidney disease may have this doubt.
Creatine level is a common standard to judge patient’s kidney condition. For patients with kidney disease, they often have high creatinine level in their blood.
What does creatinine level mean?
Creatinine is the metabolic product of muscle. It can be produced by the muscles of our body, and it can also be gotten from the meat we take. Creatinine in our blood will be excreted out by our kidneys, and the creatinine level of our blood changes in a stable range. The normal range of creatinine level in man is 0.7~1.2mg/dL, and the normal range of creatinine level in woman is 0.5~1.0mg/dl.
Causes of high creatinine level that do not need to be worried:
As we have said, creatinine is the product of muscle, and for patient who have creatinine level 1.3, his high creatinine level may be caused by many reasons. For example, creatinine level will rise if people just take much meat, and they will also have high creatinine if they just have taken strenuous exercise. While in this cases, patient’s high creatinine level will not stay for a long time, so patient do not need to worry in this condition.
High creatinine level that stands for dangerous condition:
On the other hand, creatinine will be excreted out by kidney, and creatinine level rise can also be caused by another way, and that is kidney damage.
As we know, creatinine will be excreted out by kidney, so when kidneys are damaged,creatinine will accumulate in blood, and then patient will also have high creatinine level. In this condition, patient’s high creatinine level is caused by creatinine retention, and it is persistent.
While it is worth mentioning that kidney has strong compensation, and we will not have any problem caused by kidney damage if only more than half kidney function is normal. It is also to say, if patient has creatinine level 1.3mg/dL, his kidney damage is already very severe. Thereby, patient should take measures as soon as possible if they find they have creatinine level 1.3 in this condition, and they should do their best to repair their kidney function.
