Why does creatinine increase?

What are the causes of high creatinine?

Creatinine normal index

Male: normal value: 44-106umol/L

Woman: 70-106 umol/L

Creatinine 178~ 445: total decompensation of renal function

Creatinine 451~ 707: renal failure stage

Creatinine 707 or above: uremia

The cause of high creatinine

1. Loss of water in the body, such as the occurrence of fever, excessive sweating, decreased drinking water, and the blood concentration caused by polyuresis, decreased renal blood flow, and increased creatinine.

2. The life is tired, the rest is not good, the details of life are not noticed, but also can cause a certain range of blood creatinine rise.

3. Abnormal urine, people who have long-term blood and urine and proteinuria will appear to have an increase in creatinine.

4. Patients with nephropathy are taking drugs that impair the kidneys in an unknown situation, and can develop creatinine elevations, even irreversible.

5. People with insufficiency of kidney function are affected by infection (including cold, pneumonia, intestinal infection, urinary tract infection, etc.), and the occurrence of creatinine increases in the short term.

6. Hypertensive patients, the blood pressure is unstable, will appear the phenomenon of creatinine high.

7. Patients with renal disease have increased creatinine due to relapse of the disease.

Symptoms of high creatinine

1. Water metabolism disorder: including multi-urination, increased nocturia, thirst, mucous membrane drying, fatigue, etc.

Or systemic edema, elevated blood pressure, pulmonary edema and heart failure.

2. Sodium metabolism disorder: hypernatremia or hypernatremia can occur in creatinine high.

3. Potassium metabolism disorder: hyperkalaemia or hypokalemia is associated with hyperkalemia.

4. Metabolic acidosis: patients with high creatinine may have symptoms such as deep breathing and long, lack of appetite, abdominal pain and nausea, vomiting, weakness, headache, restlessness and even coma.

5. Aluminum, magnesium, copper, zinc, selenium metabolism abnormality, etc.

6. Renal osteopathy: bone pain and proximal muscle weakness;

Bone pain is often systemic, the lower half of the body is heavy, the bone deformity can cause the symptom such as short stature.

7. Respiratory system lesions

8. Circulatory system lesions

9. Digestive system lesions

10. Blood system lesions, such as renal anemia, etc.

11. Nervous muscle system lesions and skin symptoms.

12. Endocrine dysfunction;

Metabolic disorders, carbohydrate metabolism disorder, lipid metabolism disorder, protein and amino acid metabolism disorders, metabolic waste retention, etc.

13. Patients with high creatinine also have symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, sexual dysfunction and growth retardation.
