Whether creatinine 150 μmol/L can be lowered mainly depends on the cause of its elevation. If it is a physiological reason or acute kidney injury that causes creatinine to be elevated, creatinine may gradually decline and return to normal after removing the influencing factors. If the creatinine is elevated due to chronic kidney disease, irreversible damage to kidney function has occurred, and it cannot be lowered at this time.
Normal serum creatinine ranges from 53 to 106 μmol/L in men and 44 to 97 μmol/L in women. Elevated creatinine in some patients may be caused by their own high muscle content, or eating more meat and exercising more in general. After improving their living habits, creatinine may decline and return to normal.
If patients have elevated creatinine due to acute kidney injury for various reasons, creatinine may gradually decrease and return to normal after correcting the reversible causes; if chronic kidney disease causes elevated creatinine, irreversible damage to kidney function has occurred, and creatinine usually can’t decrease at this time.
If patients find that the creatinine is elevated, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of the doctor.
