What Does A 6.2 Level Of Creatine In The Kidney Indicate
Creatinine is a common way to assess patient’s kidney condition. If a patient has a creatinine level of 6.2, what does it indicate?
Is creatinine level of 6.2 high?
Creatine is the metabolic product of muscle, and it will be filtered out from our blood by kidney. For healthy people, their creatinine level changes in a stable range, and it is 0.5~1.2mg/dL. Thereby, 6.2 is a very high level.
What does high creatinine indicate?
Because creatinine is a toxin to our body, it will be excreted out through urine. In fact, many substances will be reabsorbed back to blood by kidney tubule in the process of filtration. While little creatinine can be absorbed, so its level in blood can reflect patient’s kidney function.
On the other hand, our kidney has strong compensation and metabolic ability, and one kidney will be able to complete kidney work. So patient will not have high creatinine until more than half kidney function is damaged. What’s more, due to our kidney’s strong metabolic ability, creatinine level will not be very high unless more than two thirds of kidney function is damaged.
What can we know if patient has creatinine level of 6.2?
For most of patients, they will need dialysis when their creatinine level is about 5, so if a patient has a creatinine level of 6.2, he may be accepting dialysis or at least in the late stage of stage 4 CKD.
Many complications can appear in patients who have 6.2 creatinine, like nerve problems, disorders in digestive system, cardiovascular diseases, etc. But that also depends on patient’s condition, because different patients will have different conditions, and some patients may not have obvious symptoms even they are in the end stage of CKD.
