Is creatinine 260 μmol/L serious?

Creatinine 260μmol/L is generally not particularly serious if it is caused by acute kidney injury, and most of them can be recovered after active treatment; if it is caused by chronic kidney disease, it is generally more serious, and tends to develop progressively if there is no effective treatment, and may eventually progress to uremia.
Normal serum creatinine is between 53~106 μmol/L for adult male and 44~97 μmol/L for female, creatinine 260 μmol/L is far beyond the upper limit of normal, and most of them can be completely restored to normal after treatment if it is caused by acute kidney injury.
If it is chronic kidney disease, according to the CKD-EPI formula to calculate glomerular filtration rate is about 20~30ml/min, at this time is already chronic kidney disease stage 4, although after active and effective treatment, can only delay the disease progression, rather than curbing the disease development, it is possible that the disease will progress to uremia.
Patients whose creatinine rises to 260μmol/L must go to the regular hospital as soon as possible for the appropriate examination to clarify the cause of the disease and then symptomatic treatment.
