The general reference value of blood creatinine is 53~106μmol/L for men and 44~97μmol/L for women. 120μmol/L of blood creatinine in the elderly suggests that blood creatinine is on the high side, which is abnormal. There are physiologic and pathologic causes. If it is caused by pathologic reasons, timely treatment is needed.
1. Physiological: blood creatinine may rise when the elderly eat too much meat, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and will usually return to normal after diet control.
2. Pathological: including chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, etc., which is an abnormal phenomenon and requires different treatments according to different diseases.
Elderly people with blood creatinine of 120μmol/L should go to the hospital in time to see a doctor, under the guidance of a professional physician to clarify the cause of the disease and timely treatment.
