Can High Creatinine Cause Weakness
High creatinine is often a dangerous sign for patient with kidney disease, and weakness is a common symptom for patient with kidney disease. Can high creatinine cause patient to have weakness?
Why patient has high creatinine?
Creatinine is produced by muscle metabolism, and it is toxic to our body, so it will be filtered out by our kidney.
In normal condition, creatinine level in our body changes in a stable range. In fact, it is not easy for patient to have high creatinine, because our kidneys have strong metabolic ability and compensation, and one healthy kidney is enough to complete kidney work. Thereby, patient with kidney disease will not have high creatinine until more that half kidney function is damaged, which is a very serious condition.
Can high creatinine cause weakness?
Creatinine is a toxin to our body, and patient with high creatinine often feel weak. In fact, high creatinine can not cause weakness directly, but high creatinine can indicates severe kidney damage, and that is the root cause of weakness.
Weakness in patient with kidney disease is often related to anemia. Kidney has the function of excreting hormones, among which hemopoietin is very important in producing red cell. Kidney damage can cause the decrease of hemopoietin’s excretion, which can cause patient to have the shortage of red cell in body, so patient will have anemia.
Red cell is in charge of transporting oxygen for our body’s metabolism, while the shortage of oxygen supply can cause the decrease of patient’s metabolism, and the energy that is caused by patient’s metabolism will reduce, which can cause patient to always feel weak.
