As you know creatinine is the metabolic product of our body. If there is too much creatinin in body, it will cause a lot of disease even endanger our life. Also because it is excessed by kidney, so it became an indicator to kidney function.
Every person has two kidneys, one of them lost will not affect people's life, and creatinine level will not change.That means 50% kidney function can sustain people's life. So once creatinine level rises, that means people have lost at least 50% kidney function.
But there is huge difference between loss one of kidneys and loss 50% of kidney function. After loss one of kidneys , another one will take the whole work, and it can work normally, and it will not loss it function along with time.Loss 50% kidney function means people's kidney are damaging, it a continuous process, people will loss all kidney function along with time.
So once we find creatinine level rise up, we must take treatment timely. Also there is another misunderstanding about creatinin level. Many people think when creatinine level low down, it means everything was ok. That is a misunderstanding about creatinine level. Creatinine level low down doesn't means kidney function get better. It is easy to low down creatinine level, such as slow down metabolic progress, control creatinine by medicine. But it only try to redue the quantity of creatinine or increase the unrine output to carry off more creatinine, rather than repair kidney and improve kidney function to excess more creatinine. This misunderstanding kill millions of people every year.
Many people after they found their cratinine level rise up, they see doctor, then doctor give them some diuretic medicine(increase the unrine output to carry off more creatinine) and told them less exercise(slow down metabolic progress,redue the quantity of creatinine ), then creatinine level low down.
People think they are ok, their problem resolved and their kidney has recovery. Until one day they found swelling, itching, vomitting, fatigue, anemia.etc occur , then they were told renal failure. Next is dialysis and transplant. So please be alert and test blood or urine to find kidney disorder as early as possible.
