Relation between Creatinine and Kidney Disease

Patients with kidney disease won’t be alien from creatinine, and the fluctuation of it has become a focal point of the patients and their families. In deed, creatinine can reflect the extent of damage of kidney in some degree, but the patients only know that the higher the creatinine index rises, the severer the damage is, however, few of them are able to explain the concrete relation between creatinine and kidney disease. So, why can creatinine reflect the condition of kidney? This article will give a specific introduction of creatinine and its relation with kidney disease.
Firstly, what is creatinine?
Creatinine is a kind of metabolin produced by creatine. Creatine provides energy to support our muscle activity, so when we take activity, the creatine in the body will convert to energy, and then the consumption of energy will produce creatinine. So, creatinine is also a kind of waste, and when accumulated, it will have pernicious effects on the body. Fortunately, therefore, because of the filtration and excretion functions of renal glomerulus, creatinine can keep a balance in the body without affecting the health of the body.
Secondly, why the index of creatinine will go up when the patients have kidney disease?
Normally, the creatinine is excreted by renal glomerulus through urine, while when the kidney is damaged, it will be passed out by intestines through dung. But the clearance rate of intestines is far below that of renal glomerulus in normal condition (1mg/min). Consequently, the index of creatinine will go up. Thanks to the functional compensation of kidney, the creatinine index won’t rise obviously when the kidney can still preserve more than 1/3 functions. However, the damage of kidney has been already considerable. When the creatinine is beyond the renal capability of compensation, the index of creatinine will go up obviously. Then various symptoms of kidney diseases come one after another.

The normal index of creatinine is 133umol/L or 1.5mg/dl, and when it goes up to more than 707umol/L, the patients will have to adopt dialysis, which is really a terrible experience for the patients. And from then on, most patients have to depend on the dialysis to excrete toxins. Therefore, patients with kidney disease should receive treatment in time, and Micro-Chinese Medicine and Stem Cell Transplant are effective to control the development of kidney diseases and fundamentally treat the root cause of it. They are worthy of your trust.
