I. What are the causes of high creatinine?
1.People with original renal insufficiency, such as combined infection, including cold, pneumonia, intestinal infection, urinary tract infection, etc., can appear elevated blood creatinine in a short period of time.
2, body water loss, such as fever, excessive sweating, reduced water consumption, polyuric period leading to blood concentration, reduced renal blood flow, can appear elevated blood creatinine.
3.Patients with original kidney disease, using drugs that damage the kidneys, can have elevated blood creatinine, even irreversible.
4, patients with original kidney disease, due to the relapse of the disease, the phenomenon of oliguria, or even anuria, can be combined with acute renal insufficiency, resulting in elevated blood creatinine.
5, life appears strenuous, poor rest, life details do not pay attention to, can also cause a transient blood creatinine elevation.
6, the original hypertension, blood pressure is not well controlled, long-term moderate and large amount of proteinuria (total 24-hour urine protein greater than 1 gram or even 1.5 grams), can slowly progress in unconsciously appear elevated blood creatinine.
The above points are the causes of high blood creatinine, high blood creatinine must go to a regular hospital for routine examination, and finally get a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Second, what are the symptoms of high creatinine?
1.Dysregulation of water metabolism: including polyuria, increased nocturia, thirst, dry mucous membranes, weakness, etc.; or generalized swelling, elevated blood pressure, pulmonary edema and heart failure, etc.
2, sodium metabolism disorders: hyponatremia or hypernatremia.
3.Dysregulation of potassium metabolism: hyperkalemia or hypokalemia.
4, metabolic acidosis, patients may have deep and long whistling, lack of appetite, abdominal pain and nausea, vomiting, weakness, headache, restlessness and even coma.
5, aluminum, magnesium, copper, zinc, selenium metabolism abnormalities, etc.
6, renal bone disease: bone pain and proximal muscle weakness; bone pain is often systemic, with the lower body weight-bearing bones, skeletal deformities can lead to short stature, etc.
7.Whistling system lesions.
8.Circulatory system lesions.
9.Digestive system lesions.
10, hematological system lesions, such as renal anemia, etc.
11, Infection.
12, neuromuscular system lesions and skin symptoms.
13, endocrine dysfunction, such as: thyroid dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, growth retardation, etc.
14.Metabolic disorders, such as: sugar metabolism disorder, lipid metabolism disorder, protein and amino acid metabolism disorder, metabolic waste retention, etc.
15.How to bring down creatinine? What should I do if my creatinine is high?
What drugs and foods should I take for high creatinine?
Blood creatinine is one of the main methods commonly used to understand kidney function. A blood creatinine higher than normal value mostly means kidney damage, blood creatinine can more accurately reflect the damage of kidney parenchyma, but is not a sensitive indicator. It is not a sensitive indicator because blood creatinine rises significantly only when the glomerular filtration rate decreases to 1/3 of normal. It means that because of the strong metabolic ability of human kidneys, when the kidney damage is mild, people do not feel discomfort obviously, so many people when they really have nausea, vomiting, dizziness, in fact, the kidneys have been seriously damaged, and at this time the blood creatinine also began to rise significantly. So what drugs and food can be taken for high blood creatinine? Here we will address this issue in detail.
First of all, what drugs to eat high creatinine, lower creatinine drugs are mainly Aixit, this drug can quickly reduce the value of creatinine, but it should be noted that this treatment can only cure the root cause can not cure the root, can only increase the number of toxins in the body from other ways to discharge, so as to temporarily relieve the symptoms of high creatinine, and did not fundamentally solve the problem of high creatinine. The long-term use of side effects, and once the patient stops the drug, the creatinine value will rapidly rise, and than the previous creatinine value is even higher.
What food can I eat for high creatinine? This needs to be based on which stage of creatinine in renal insufficiency, creatinine high and low, the diet also has differences, but no matter which stage have to follow the principles of kidney disease diet: low salt, low fat and a small amount of high-quality protein, avoid spicy.
High creatinine diet taboos: tobacco and alcohol
Tobacco contains a variety of harmful substances that can damage liver and kidney function and inhibit kidney unit repair, so kidney disease patients must be determined to quit smoking. And the alcohol in the heterogeneous oil and nitrosamines can make the kidney tissue degeneration and carcinogenic, so patients with kidney disease should not drip alcohol to avoid liver and kidney damage.
Third, how to bring down creatinine
Why does creatinine rise and what does high creatinine mean? How to lower creatinine? Uremia blood creatinine is elevated because the kidney function is damaged and can not be discharged out of the body, high blood creatinine in the body is the biggest danger to the body, many complications such as heart, brain and lung are also due to creatinine, urea nitrogen and other toxin damage.
How to bring down creatinine? Kidney damage is a gradual process, there is no treatment value for those kidney tissues that have already formed scar, but there is still treatment value for those that have not fully formed scar and are still in the process of kidney lesion development.
Most uremic patients need a certain amount of time for the development of kidney lesions, and therefore, treatment recovery also needs a process. At this time, we must prevent colds, control diet and emotions, do not strain, control blood pressure, blood sugar and other factors, and protect kidney function in many aspects. Timely treatment, and then note these, in order to make the blood creatinine down!
Fourth, diet attention
1, salt limit.
Generally speaking, although patients with renal insufficiency compensatory stage and azotemia stage have high blood creatinine and begin to show various mild clinical symptoms, but due to moderate pathological damage, depending on the presence or absence of hypertension and swelling, control salt intake and give low salt or salt-free diet respectively.
2.Protein supply.
Protein supply: Because of azotemia and renal insufficiency in patients with modified stage, in order to control the continued deterioration of renal function, protein intake should be controlled and a diet rich in high-quality protein should be used.
3, vitamin intake.
Patients with high creatinine in kidney failure should use foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin C.
If renal insufficiency only has high creatinine in renal failure, but no oliguria, no swelling patients do not prohibit salt and water, maintain a low-salt diet. If there is severe edema, as well as hypertension and even heart failure should be strictly limited salt prohibition.
