Normal glomerular filtration rate and slightly high creatinine are usually normal phenomena without special treatment. Reducing the intake of meat food and strenuous exercise can help to reduce blood creatinine.
The production of creatinine in the blood is divided into two categories: exogenous and endogenous. Exogenous creatinine is the product formed by metabolism in the body after eating some meat and high protein food; endogenous creatinine is the product formed by the body through the activity and metabolism of muscle related tissues.
Since creatinine is a small molecule, it can freely pass through the glomerular barrier, and because it is rarely reabsorbed in the renal tubules. Therefore, in clinical practice, the blood creatinine value is used to determine the glomerular filtration function of the subject.
Glomerular filtration rate can reflect the renal function more accurately and sensitively. A normal glomerular filtration rate indicates that the kidney’s filtration function may be unhindered, so a slight increase in blood creatinine is likely to be caused by recent excessive meat intake or excessive exercise. Regular checkups can be done to observe the changes in the condition.
For patients with normal glomerular filtration rate and slightly elevated creatinine, it is recommended to consult regular hospitals and standardize the treatment under the guidance of physicians.
