The Dangerous Level of Creatinine for Kidney

What is the dangerous level of creatinine for kidney? It is a question put forward for kidney damage patients. We can explain it from the following aspects.
1. what is creatinine
Creatinine is small molecule which is waste or metabolism final product of muscles. Generally, the normal range of serum creatinine is 44 to 103 umol/L. We can also say the normal range is 0.5 to 1.2 mg/ dL. In other words, we can use different ways or units to express the level of creatinine. The rate between them is 88.4. For example, if a person’s creatinine is 1.0 mg/ dL, we can also say that the level is 88.4 umol/L.
2. which level of creatinine is dangerous
As we mentioned in the above, creatinine is metabolism final product and should be filtered out of the body into urine. Long time high serum creatinine will of course lead to damage to the body. It indeed has a critical point, which means that when it arrives at this point, kidney disease patients will be suggested to undergo dialysis.
Generally, different countries and different types of kidney diseases have specific dialysis standard. For example, in China, the majority of kidney failure patients take dialysis when the serum creatinine is 707 umol/L. In most countries, kidney failures start to undergo dialysis as soon as the creatinine rises to 445 umol/L. In addition, patients with diabetes or diabetic kidney disease( diabetic nephropathy) take dialysis when the creatinine is 300umol/L. Why? For diabetic kidney disease patients, the damage of other organs takes place much earlier and more serious and much more than those with other kidney diseases such as damage in cardiovascular system, a main leading cause of death, peripheral vascular disease, peripheral nerve damage, autonomic neuropathy damage, retinopathy and guts and stomach lesion, etc.

The above is about the dangerous level of creatinine. For more information, welcome to leave a message or have a further communication with us online.
