Why High Creatinine Is Dangerous
Patient with kidney disease often hear doctors talk about his creatinine level, and he may know high creatinine indicates he is in a very dangerous condition. But why high creatinine is dangerous?
Is high creatinine dangerous?
Creatinine is a metabolic product of muscle, and it is a toxin to our body, which needs to be excreted out by kidney, and it will not be reabsorbed by kidney tubule, so it can reflect kidney condition and glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
In fact, patient will not have too severe condition if he just has high creatinine, but high creatinine indicates severe kidney condition, which is real dangerous.
Why high creatinine is dangerous?
Patients may think it does not matter if their creatinine level is just a bit higher. Unfortunately, it is wrong throughly.
Our kidneys have strong compensation. If one part is damaged, other parts will replace it to complete kidney work. What’s more, patient will not have any obvious problem caused by kidney damage as long as more than half kidney function is normal, which means even if one healthy kidney will also be able to complete the kidney work.
Thereby,when patient has high creatinine level, it is also to say more than half kidney function has already been damaged, which is a very dangerous condition.
How should patient deal with his condition?
High creatinine is a reflection of terrible kidney function, so patient needs to take measures to improve their kidney function as soon as possible.
It is important for patient to take changes in their life habits and diet, which can make a significant influence to their health condition. Especially in patient’s diet, it is important for patient to make a diet plan, which is made based on his own condition, so patient will need the help from his doctor and a renal dietitian.
Treatment is very important in improve his kidney function. While patient can try traditional Chinese medicine, which is beneficial for their kidney function improvement, because it is good at improving patient’s self-repairing ability. While western medicine is good at controlling patient’s complications and condition, but it can do little thing in improving kidney function.
