Creatinine is a substance that can be found in the blood and in the urine, it is made by the muscles. The creatinine level is a good indicator of the functioning of the kidneys, especially their filtration capacity. It will increase when the kidneys do not work properly.
If serum creatinine is normal (5 to 12 mg / l): this is a functional renal failure, it may be due to a lack of water intake when the person does not drink enough water. It is the most common cause of an infection or obstruction in the urinary tract. If serum creatinine is greater than 12 mg / l, this is an organic renal failure, in this case the creatinine clearance will assess the severity of this renal failure. If the creatinine clearance is less than 30 ml / min. We must immediately hospitalize in nephrology department.
The diagnosis of renal failure is always important to know because it indicates a poor condition of the kidneys and should be preserved. If the creatinine clearance is improperly cleared by the kidneys, they will accumulate in the blood reaching excessive blood levels that will cause serious side effects.
If less than 60: we talk about incipient chronic renal insufficiency (CKD),
If between 30 and 60: moderate CRI,
If between 15 and 30: severe CRI,
If less than 15: Advanced CRI.
To lower the creatinine level what are the official treatments? A diet is needed: little salt and protein, deleting foods rich in potassium (chocolate, fruit). The drugs are designed to correct the symptoms of kidney dysfunction: antihypertensives, calcium, vitamin D and synthetic erythropoietin (Eprex® or Recormon). In addition, the micro Chinese medicine osmotherapy is an effective way to lower creatinine levels.
