What does creatinine 2.63 mean in kidney failure? Kidney failure is a common kidney disease for people all over the world, and more and more people get kidney failure due to many factors. High creatinine is a common sign in kidney failure, but most of the patients don’t know why they get high creatinine. In the following article, we will get the answer.

Creatinine is a kind of waste product of muscle metabolism, the meat intake can also produce creatinine in blood. And the creatinine is mainly excreted by kidneys. When the kidneys can work normal or have more than 50% kidney function, the creatinine can be filtered out effectively, and the normal creatinine level is

- Male 54-106 umol/L or 0.6-1.2 mg/dl

- Female 44-97 umol/L or 0.5-1.1 mg/dl

Then we can know creatinine 2.63 is much higher than the normal level, and it means the kidneys have been damaged severely with less than 50% kidney function left. So the high creatinine level is often regarded as an indicator to reflect the kidney function.

For kidney failure patients with creatinine 2.63, there will be lots of toxins and wastes building up in blood, then patients may have the severe symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, skin itching, loss of appetite, severe swelling, high blood pressure, etc. All these can be very dangerous for kidney failure patients with creatinie 2.63. If they don’t take early treatment, they will quickly get into more severe stage and live on dialysis or kidney transplant to prolong their life expectancy.

Therefore, prompt and effective treatment is very important and necessary for kidney failure patients with high creatinine 2.63. Since the high creatinine is mainly caused by the severe kidney damage and low kidney function, so the treatment should aim at repairing damaged kidney tissues and improving kidney function.
