The significance of creatinine
Creatinine is an important index which is used to judge the renal function
for creatinine is a toxin which comes into being due to muscle metabolism and
should have been discharged out of the body through kidney eventually. The
normal range of creatinine is 44 to 103 umol/L. Pay attention that this number
is just for Chinese and even is applied in some labs of China for there are also
different facilities in the same country.
The reason why creatinine increases
Because of the compensation ability, creatinine will not increase until the
renal function decreases by more than 60%. This theory can also be used to
explain why after a person donates one of his kidney to the other person, he can
still survive well. After the kidney is damaged, some renal glomeruli are
damaged at the same time and can not work normally. In this case, other renal
glomeruli will do more work to filtrate the toxins and until these glomeruli are
damaged and can not work well, the creatinine will start to increase.
The condition of creatinine 600 patients
When the creatinine is as high as 600 umol/L, chronic kidney disease patients
in most countries have begun to adopt dialysis for the international standard
for patients to receive dialysis is 450 umol/L. however, all patients with
chronic kidney disease do not like dialysis for they are afraid that the
dialysis will not stop once it begins. Besides these, there are also other
reasons which patients should change the treatment method.
Firstly, dialysis can not treat chronic kidney disease. It can only help
discharge the toxins out. As a matter of fact, there has been damage in the
intrinsic cells of the kidney.
Secondly, dialysis can only filtrate the small molecules and can not make the
bigger one come out.
Thirdly, only dialysis can not stop the deterioration of kidney damage, so
after some time, kidney disease will become more serious.
The treatment of creatinine 600
From the above, we can get a conclusion that we should find out a better
treatment for chronic kidney disease patients with creatinine 600 umol/L.
