Is Creatinine 1.3 considered mild kidney disease
High creatinine level usually means severe kidney damage for patient with kidney disease. While is creatinine 1.3 considered mild kidney disease?
As we know, kidney has the function of filtering wastes and toxins in blood, and that is mainly completed by glomeruli and kidney tubules. While kidney tubule has the function of reabsorbing the nutrients that leak from glomeruli, but little creatinine can be reabsorbed back by kidney tubule, so it can be used to assess patient’s kidney condition.
What is the normal creatinine level?
Creatinine is a common measure to assess patient’s kidney condition in blood test. Creatinine is the metabolic product of muscles, and it is toxic to our body, so it will be filtered out by our kidneys. Besides, almost all creatinine produced will be filtered out by our kidneys in the same day, and it will also be produced by our muscles consistently, so creatinine level in our blood changes in a stable range. The normal creatinine level in man is 0.6~1.2umol/L, and the normal creatinine level in woman is 0.5~1.2umol/L.
Is creatinine 1.3 considered mild kidney disease?
Thereby, if patient has creatinine level 1.3, it is a bit higher than normal range. And patient may think if his creatinine level is just a bit higher, so his kidney disease may be mild. But the truth is that this kind of thought is throughly wrong.
Our kidney has strong metabolic ability. In fact, one kidney will be able to keep our body health. What’s more, our kidneys have strong compensation, and if any part of kidney is damaged, other parts will replace this part to complete the kidney work. As a result, there may not be any obvious problem caused by kidney damage even patient’s kidneys have been severely damaged unless damaged kidney function is more than half. Besides, patient’s creatinine will not rise obviously until more than two thirds kidney function is damaged. Thereby, if patient has creatinine level 1.3, he is already in severe condition.
