Creatinine 110μmol/L over the upper limit of normal value in 70 years old is not normal.
The normal value of creatinine is 53~106 μmol/L for men and 44~97 μmol/L for women.The upper limit of normal value of creatinine for the elderly will be adjusted downward gradually as the renal function decreases, and 88.4 μmol/L is generally taken as the upper limit of normal value of creatinine for people over 65 years old. Generally speaking, there are both physiologic and pathologic conditions for creatinine elevation.
In physiological conditions, elevated creatinine can occur during stress, intense exercise, or excessive meat consumption, and usually returns to normal gradually after the triggering factors are eliminated. There is no need to worry too much.
Pathological conditions, creatinine can be elevated in acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, etc. At this time, the elevated creatinine usually indicates that the kidney function has been damaged.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients with creatinine 110μmol/L should go to the hospital in time, improve the relevant examination under the guidance of doctors, and if it is caused by pathological factors, it should be treated actively to avoid delaying the condition.
