At what level the creatinine is dangerous or bad for people? Creatinine is often regarded as a sign for severe kidney damage, so people with kidney disease often focus on their creatinine levels in blood, and want to get that at what level the creatinine is dangerous for them. For healthy people, the normal creatinine level is 0.5-1.2 mg/dl. For most cases, the high creatinine level is caused by kidney damage. In these cases, the creatinine is higher than the normal level, and the high creatinine level will be bad and dangerous for people.

For kidney disease patients, depending on the GFR and creatinine level, their illness condition can be divided into 5 stages, which can help patients to diagnose their illness more scientific.

Stage 1 kidney disease: GFR is above 90 ml/min with normal creatinine level

Stage 2 kidney disease: GFR 60-89 ml/min with creatinine level 1.5-2.0 mg/dl

Stage 3 kidney disease: GFR 30-59 ml/min with creatinine 2.1-5.0 mg/dl

Stage 4 kidney disease: GFR 15-29 ml/min with creatinine 5.1-7.9 mg/dl

Stage 5 kidney disease: GFR is less than 15 ml/min with creatinine level higher than 8 mg/dl.

In stage 1-2 kidney disease, the creatinine level is normal or a little higher than the normal level, and in this condition, people will have no obvious symptoms and problems, because the kidney function is higher than 50%.

However, with the gradually reduced kidney function, patients will suffer from some severe symptoms and complications, which will increase the progression of kidney failure. In this condition, patients need to have effective treatment to lower their high creatinine level and improve their kidney function, which can help slow down the progression of kidney failure.

Usually, when the creatinine level is higher than 2.0, it means the illness condition is bad and dangerous for people, and they need to have effective treatment as soon as possible, which can help make a good prognosis for them.
