summary

Uncle recently urinate very abnormal, also often feel tired, doubt whether he has kidney disease, so went to the hospital to do a renal function examination, the doctor said his creatinine index is high, now I'll talk about the renal function, what is creatinine.

What is creatinine in renal function

First: creatinine is actually divided into serum creatinine and urine creatinine. Renal function test in the "creatinine" that is blood creatinine. Doctors said that serum creatinine is a reliable indicator of glomerular function, so it is one of the basic items to understand renal function in physical examination, but it is not an early diagnostic indicator.

Second: serum creatinine is an important indicator to check whether the renal function is normal. When the creatinine increases, it indicates that the renal function is damaged. It can more accurately reflect the situation of renal parenchyma damage, indicating that the glomerular filtration capacity is decreased. It is an important indicator to judge whether many diseases such as acute and chronic glomerulonephritis affect the renal function.

Third: high creatinine generally refers to high blood creatinine. The normal value of serum creatinine is different in different hospitals. Generally speaking, the normal value of serum creatinine is 44-133 μ mol / L. when the serum creatinine exceeds 133 μ mol / L, it means kidney damage, renal insufficiency and renal failure.

matters needing attention
