Elevated creatinine can be divided into physiological and pathological conditions. Physiological conditions can be seen in strenuous exercise, consuming large amount of meat, etc., which will generally return to normal after removing the relevant factors. Pathological cases include acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, etc. Some patients with acute kidney injury can be cured, while chronic kidney disease is hard to be cured.
1. Physiological: blood creatinine value is about 53-106μmol/L for men and 44-97μmol/L for women, which may increase after strenuous exercise or eating a lot of meat, and usually return to normal after rest and diet control.
2. Pathologic: seen in acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and so on. Acute kidney injury is divided into three kinds: pre-renal, renal and post-renal. Pre-renal such as insufficient effective circulating blood volume, post-renal such as stones, etc., can be cured in some patients after rehydration, lithotripsy and other treatments; the treatment of chronic kidney disease aims at slowing down the progression of renal function and preventing deterioration of renal function, which is difficult to be cured.
If you find elevated blood creatinine, you should go to the hospital in time to see the doctor, clarify the cause under the guidance of professional physicians and get timely treatment.
