It is commonly not an optimistic level when patients feel uncomfortable or are diagnosed with renal injury. Owing to the chronicity and complexity of CKD, there are no obvious symptoms and complications that can remind patients of their renal damage timely, which encourages the exacerbation of renal function.
Creatinine can really be used to check the renal function in clinic. However, it is not a sensitive indicator. It is closely related to patient’s GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate). When patient’s GFR drops into normal 1/3, patient’s disease condition is not optimistic. In its early stage, there are no obvious symptoms and complications that can remind patients of their renal damage. Once patients are diagnosed with high creatinine or feel uncomfortable or go to see a doctor, their disease condition is not well.
So many CKD patients are diagnosed with an acute high creatinine when they are not feeling well. It is necessary for them to take timely and effective treatments to prevent the renal injury and reduce creatinine level.
