What Does High Creatinine 3.6 Meant to People with 20 Years' Hypertension
Q: My name is majd h turki and I come from Egypt. I was diagnosed as hypertension since 20 years ago. My blood pressure is fluctuating usually. And the medical report that I got last week, showed that my serum creatinine level is 3.6 and I find it is higher than normal range. Can you give me suggestion and tell me what does high creatinine mean to me? Thank you.
A: Thank you for you inquiry. Long time hypertension can cause damage to kidney function. Kidneys can discharge the metabolites and if the kidney function declines, the kidneys will have less ability to eliminate the toxins. That's why your creatinine level increases so high. Besides, the damaged kidneys cannot control the high blood pressure well.
Generally speaking, patients with long time high blood pressure will have some complications such as retinopathy, hypertensive nephropathy and vasculopathy. High blood pressure is one of the most common causes of kidney problem. That's because it can damage both the large arteries leading to kidneys and the tiny blood vessels (glomeruli) within the kidneys. So the kidneys can't effectively filter waste from blood. As a result, dangerous levels of fluid and waste can accumulate. That's why your creatinine level increases and if the toxins cannot be cleaned up completely you ultimately require dialysis or kidney transplant.
What you need now is first to regulate high blood pressure, stopping the complications coming out and prevent the damages to kidneys. As long as your kidney function can be improved, your kidneys can work themselves well. Then dialysis can be avoided. If not treated you may have to do dialysis in near future.
