Creatinine is a metabolite produced by muscle metabolism and plays an important role in the metabolic process in the human body. It is normally filtered in the kidneys and then excreted in the urine. Therefore, creatinine levels can reflect the body's kidney function.
In general, creatinine values between 0.6-1.2 mg/dL are considered normal. When the creatinine value exceeds the normal range, there may be a problem with kidney function. Common conditions with high creatinine levels include glomerulonephritis, kidney infections, diabetes, and more. In addition, long-term use of certain medications can also increase creatinine levels.
By measuring the value of creatinine, we can detect abnormal renal function early and take timely treatment measures. Some diseases that affect kidney function can be improved by adjusting diet, exercise, and drug treatment. In addition, it is also very important to consult a doctor in time to help us formulate a scientific treatment plan.
In short, creatinine value is an important indicator reflecting human kidney function. If the creatinine value exceeds the normal range, we should go to the hospital for examination in time, and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment to improve the protection and repair ability of renal function.
