Is High Creatinine Level Always Uremia

What are causes of high creatinine level? Is elevated creatinine level always uremia? Creatinine is expelled out of the body by glomerular filtration. Serum creatinine comes from exogenous and endogenous. Exogenous creatinine is the metabolic product of meat products; endogenous creatinine is the metabolic product of muscle. When meat product intake in stable and muscle metabolism has no big changes, creatinine level is normal.

The normal creatinine level and uremia stage

As for the normal creatinine level and uremia stage, every hospital has its own assessment criteria. Generally, the normal creatinine level is 40-120umol/L. Once it is over this range, it indicates there is something wrong with your kidney function. When creatinine level is over 707umol/L, it indicates uremia stage has formed. At this time, kidney function has almost damaged. Therefore, once creatinine is over normal range, positive and effective treatment is required.

High creatinine level causes 

1. The cause of creatinine level is damaged kidney intrinsic cells. In this condition, its ability of expelling toxins will decline, which leads to creatinine accumulation in your body. Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome (NS), secondary kidney disease do not get timely treatment, so creatinine level will occur.

2. Creatinine level ranging 200-600 indicates renal failure in decompensation period. When creatinine level is more than 707, uremia stage occurs. Therefore, early treatment for high creatinine level is important.

The treatment for high creatinine level 

As for the treatment of creatinine level, you should repair damaged kidney intrinsic cells and control inflammatory reaction. Medications for lowering elevated creatinine level are not effective. As a result, kidney damage is more severe. The dialysis frequency is faster and the cost for dialysis is expensive. We recommend you to take Chinese medicine treatment. The active ingredients in Chinese herbs can repair damaged kidney intrinsic cells. Meanwhile, western medicines assist the treatment. The combination of western medicines and Chinese medicine can restore renal function and then lower high creatinine level.

Creatinine elevation is caused by metabolic substances which cannot be discharged out of the body normally and properly by kidneys. Increased creatinine level in this case is kidney function damage. Different high creatinine level means different illness conditions. Slightly high creatinine is related to diet. Extremely creatinine level is kidney dysfunction or uremia.
