Symptoms Of Patients Whose Creatinine Level Is High
For patients with kidney disease, high creatinine level is a common condition, which often indicates severe kidney damage.
As we know, kidney is an important organ, which is in charge of our internal balance. So, when patients with kidney disease have high creatinine, many obvious symptoms may appear.
1. Fatigue:
Patients with high creatinine often feel fatigue, which is mainly due to anemia. Kidney has the function of excreting hormones, among which hemopoietin plays an important role in producing red cells. Thereby, the shortage of red cells in blood will cause patients to feel fatigue.
2. Swelling:
Swelling often appears in patients’ body, which is caused by edema. As we know, kidney has the function of filtrating out excess fluid, so when patient’s kidney function declines due to kidney damage, there will be lots of fluid accumulating in patient’s body. Besides, massive proteinuria is also a major cause of edema.
3. Hypertension:
Hypertension often appears in patients with high creatinine, and it can aggravate patient’s kidney damage obviously if it can not bee well controlled.
4. Nausea and vomiting:
When kidney is damaged, many factors can cause patients to have nausea and vomiting, like the metabolic disorder of potassium, edema in gastrointestinal tract, the accumulation of metabolic wastes and toxins in patient’s blood, etc.
5. Itching:
Patients with high creatinine also often have itching in their body, which often causes patient to have sleeping problem.
6. Muscle cramp:
It is common for patient with high creatinine to have muscle cramp, which is mainly caused by the shortage of calcium in blood, and that can be caused by many factors, like diet restriction, the shortage of vitamin D, hyperphosphatemia, etc.
Besides, other common symptoms like bone pain, loss of appetite, abnormal urine color and amount, problem in concentration, abnormal taste in mouth, etc, may also appear in patient’s body.
