What is creatinine

summary

Creatinine is the product of muscle metabolism in the human body. Every 20g muscle metabolism can produce 1mg creatinine. Creatinine is mainly discharged from the body by glomerular filtration. If high creatinine is bad for the body, let me share what creatinine is.

What is creatinine

First, creatinine is the product of human muscle metabolism. In muscle, creatine mainly through irreversible non enzymatic dehydration reaction slowly form creatinine, and then released to the blood, excreted with urine. Therefore, serum creatinine is closely related to the total amount of muscle in the body and is not easily affected by diet.

Second: creatinine is a small molecule substance, which can be filtered through the glomerulus and rarely absorbed in the renal tubules. The daily creatinine produced in the body is almost completely excreted with urine, generally not affected by urine volume.

Third: when the renal function is not complete, creatinine accumulates in the body and becomes a harmful toxin to the human body. The normal upper limit of plasma creatinine is about 100 μ mol / L. And different hospital testing standards are not the same, but will not exceed 120 μ molgl.

matters needing attention

1. Patients should have regular physical examination to prevent excessive high serum creatine. 2. Usually the diet should be light and nutritious, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. 3. Avoid spicy and pungent, cold, greasy food. 4. High serum creatinine is not too salty to eat, so remember this.
