Creatinine 140μmol/L progression to uremia is mainly affected by the type of renal disease pathology, treatment effect, etc., with large individual differences, and can not be generalized, may be a few months, may be decades, or even life-long will not progress to uremia.
Creatinine 140 μmol/L is slightly higher than normal, if it is due to eating more meat or exercise, and is not accompanied by abnormal renal function. Generally stop eating meat for a period of time, creatinine will gradually return to normal, and generally will not progress to uremia.
If the creatinine 140μmol/L is caused by pathology, the renal function is less impaired and there are no obvious symptoms. If the cause of the disease is clearly and actively treated and the disease is better controlled, it can be more than ten years or decades without entering the uremic stage. For example, acute renal failure caused by double kidney stones, after early relief of obstruction, renal function can generally recover better, without entering uremia.
If the renal function is more seriously impaired, such as diabetic nephropathy, complications occur, the condition is more difficult to control, and may progress to the uremic stage in a few months or years.
When high creatinine occurs, it is recommended to consult regular hospitals, improve relevant examinations, clarify the cause, and actively cooperate with doctors’ treatment to slow down the progress of the disease.
