What Stage Is Patient With Kidney Disease In When He Has Creatinine 1.4
Creatinine is a common standard to assess patient’s kidney condition in medical examination. While what stage is patient with kidney disease in when he has creatinine 1.4?
What is the normal creatinine level?
Creatinine is the metabolic product of muscle. It is mainly produced by our body muscles, and it can also be gotten from the meat we take, but creatinine gotten from the meat makes little influence in our serum creatinine level. Besides, creatinine is a toxic substance to our body, and almost all creatinine produced by our body muscle will be filtered out by kidney in the same day.
As a result, creatinine level in our blood changes in a stable range, and the normal serum creatinine level in man is 0.6~1.2umol/L, and the normal serum creatinine level in woman is 0.5~1.1umol/L. Thereby, if patient has a creatinine level of 1.4, it is a little higher than normal range.
What stage is patient with kidney disease in when he has creatinine level 1.4?
It is not easy to say which stage patient is in when he has creatinine level 1.4, because he may in the early stage with creatinine level 1.4, and he can also be in the moderate stage.
Creatinine is not an exact measure to assess patient’s kidney condition when patient is in the early stage of kidney disease. Our kidneys have strong metabolism, and one kidney will be able to complete their work. Thereby, there may not be any problem caused by kidney damage if only more than one kidney is healthy, and patient’s creatinine level will stay in its normal range at this point.
On the other hand, our creatinine level can be affected by many factors. For example, if patient has strenuous exercise, takes much meat, or has severe dehydration, his creatinine level will rise. So if patient’s high creatinine level is caused by these factors, patient may be just in the early stages of kidney disease, like stage 1 or 2.
While if patient’s high creatinine level is caused by kidney damage, and 1.4 is a bit higher than normal level, so patient is more likely in stage 3, which is a moderate stage.
