2014-11-11 03:45

PKD, which is also called as polycystic kidney disease, is a genetic kidney disease with numerous kidney cysts on kidneys. And the kidney cysts will get enlarged over time, which will oppress the surrounding kidney tissues and cause kidney damage. Then patients will suffer from high creatinine level. Then what will happen next with PKD and creatinine 6.0?

What does the creatinine level 6.0 mean in PKD?

Creatinine is the waste product of muscle metabolism in blood, and it is mainly excreted by kidneys. When the kidneys are damaged severely, patients will suffer from high creatinine level, because the damaged kidneys cant help remove the creatinine out effectively. So creatinine 6.0 means kidneys have been damaged severely by the enlargement of kidney cysts.

What will happen next with the PKD and creatinine 6.0?

1. Enlarged kidneys

Since the creatinine 6.0 means the enlargement of kidney cysts, so patients will also suffer from enlarged kidneys with the increase and enlargement of kidney cysts.

2. High blood presure

When the kidneys are damaged severely, they will fail to work well. Then the kidneys will secret more hormones which can help the elevation of blood pressure. And the unwell controlled high blood pressure will cause further damage to kidneys.

3. Proteinuria and hematuria

Since the kidneys cant work well with creatinine 6.0, so it will cause the leakage out of protein and red blood cells into urine, so patients will have hematuria or proteinuria.

4. Digestive symptoms

The severe kidney damage can also cause too much toxins and wastes building up in blood, which will stimulate the digestive symptoms, and this can cause the symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

Both cyst enlargement and toxins building up in blood can cause nerve damage, and this can be life-threatening for patients.

From above, we can know the creatinine 6.0 in PKD is very dangerous for patients, which will make many bad effects for patients. So they need to have effective treatment to help shrink the kidney cysts and lower the high creatinine 6.0, which can help make a good prognosis for patients.
