Elevated creatinine index means that the kidney has been impaired to some
degree. In the compensation stage of renal function, the Glomerular Filtration
Rate doesn't decrease seriously, so the damaged renal function only occupies a
small part of the total renal function. It means that the renal functions will
still be normal in regulating the balance in human body. During this period,
although creatinine level is beyond the normal range, the sufferers will have no
or little symptoms in clinic. Therefore the diseases are easily be neglected and
deteriorate quickly without any treatment.
If there is no proper treatment, the process of renal fibrosis will be
accelerated, and renal function will decrease progressively, so the Glomerular
Filtration Rate will decrease gradually and the creatinine level will increase
therewith. If the illness condition hasn't been controlled well, it will
deteriorate consequently into Chronic Renal Failure and even Uremia.
Then, what are the common symptoms when people have an elevated creatinine
level? Here is an introduction in detail.High Creatinine Levels
◆ There are more urine during the night. Generally speaking, people who is
younger than 60 years old should have no urine in the night. If the urine volume
during the night increases obviously, it may be the early symptom of ill renal
function and should be noticed.Does Elevated Creatinine After Dehydration Mean Kidney Damage and How Much Water Is Required for Removel of Creatinine
◆ The urine volume is abnormal. The average urine volume of normal people is
about 1500ml/d and the times of urination is 4-8. If one's urine volume
increases or decreases obviously without excessive perspiration, excessive
drinking and fever, he/she should see a doctor and have some examinations on
kidney.
◆ The colour of urine changes a lot. The normal colour of urine should be
like that of beer and should be clear. If the urine present a strong tea-like
colour or the colour of water where flesh is washed and the rice is cleaned, the
causes should be detected by certain examinations in the hospital.What Does High Creatinine Do to the Body
◆ There is foam in urine. If there are many foams in urine and the foam last
for a long time, there are much protein in the urine.
◆ There is loin pain. If one has loin pain without any clear causes, he/she
should go to hospital to have an examination of kidneys, spine or the muscle in

appear in the inner side of ankle, lower limbs or lumbosacral portion.
◆ Hypertension. Some symptoms as headache, dizziness and blurred eyesight
will appear together with Hypertension. However, some people with long-time
Hypertension will have a better tolerance under the high blood pressure, so
there is no discomfortable feelings with them. Therefore, the blood pressure
should be tested regularly.
If one has an elevated index of creatinine, he should protect his kidneys
with more carefulness then. Life and health is so important for every one as
well as his family and friends, so everyone should cherish his life and take
