What Is The Indication With 6.2 Creatinine Level
For patients with kidney disease, they will often hear a word called “ creatinine ”. Creatinine is a common measure to assess patient’s kidney condition, while what is the indication if patient has 6.2 creatinine level?
What is the normal creatinine level?
Creatinine is the breakdown product of muscle, which should be filtered out by our kidney, because it is toxic to our body. Almost all creatinine produced will be excreted out by our urine in the same day. And creatinine will not be reabsorbed back by kidney tubule, so its level in our blood can reflect patient’s kidney condition.
In fact, the normal creatinine level in man is 0.6~1.2ng/dL, and its normal level in woman is 0.5~1.1mg/dL.
What is the indication with 6.2 creatinine level?
For patient whose creatinine level is 6.2, it is much higher than the normal level. What on earth can we know from this value?
Of course, patient is in a very severe condition at this point.
Our kidneys have strong metabolic ability, and one healthy kidney will be able to keep our body health. Besides, kidney also has strong compensation, and if there is any part damaged, other parts can replace this part to complete kidney work.
Thereby, patient will not have high creatinine if more than half kidney function is normal, and when patient has continuous high creatinine,m even it is a little higher than normality, we can know patient’s kidneys are already severely damaged.
On the other hand, patient’s creatinine level will not have obvious rise until about two thirds kidney function is damaged.
What’s more, for most patients, they will need dialysis if their creatinine level is above 5. Thereby, patient with creatinine level 6.2 may be already in the end stage of kidney failure.
In the end, if you still have any trouble in this aspect, you can just leave us a message about your problem, and we will give you a detailed reply timely.
