Creatinine is a chemical waste product that is produced by muscle metabolism and to a small extent by eating meat. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine and other waste products from the blood. The filtered waste products leave the body through urine.Creatinine is produced from creatine. Approximately 2% of the body’s creatine is converted to creatinine every day.
If your kidneys are not functioning properly , an increased level of creatinine may accumulate in your blood. A serum creatinine test measures the level of creatinine in your blood and provides an estimate of how well your kidneys filter.A creatinine urine test can measure creatinine in your urine.
Most men with normal kidney function have approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams/deciliters of creatinine. Women usually have lower creatinine levels than men because women on average have less muscle than men.
Causes--Any condition that impairs the function of the kidneys is likely to raise the creatinine level in the blood. It is important to recognize whether the process leading to kidney dysfunction –kidney failure- is longstanding or recent. Recent elevations may be more easily treated and reversed.
The most common causes of longstanding , chronic kidney disease in adults are—high blood pressure and diabetes.
Other causes of elevated blood creatinine levels are-
· Certain drugs e.g. cimetidine can sometimes cause abnormally elevated creatinine levels.
· After ingestion of a large amount of dietary meat
· Kidney infections, rhabdmyosis, abnormal muscle breakdown and urinary tract infection may also elevate creatinine levels.
Creatinine test—A creatinine blood test can assess the creatinine levels in blood if you show signs of kidney disease. These symptoms include-
· Fatigue and trouble sleeping
