What does creatinine 1.73 mean? How is kidney damaged when creatinine is
1.73? To know about it clear, we should first explain two concepts: what is
creatinine and what is the normal level of creatinine.
Creatinine is a kind of metabolism waste which is from muscles, and generally
as long as we exercise or even speak, the body will metabolize creatinine. The
ratio is 20g muscles to 1g creatinine. It is a kind of toxin, which should be
discharged out of the body through urine, and kidney as we know plays a role of
filtration. So from the above, we get a conclusion that if there is something
wrong in the kidney, the filtration function will be damaged, and the creatinine
level will increase accordingly.
How about the normal range of serum creatinine - High Creatinine Levels? The normal one in China is
0.5 to 1.2. In the world, chronic kidney disease is divided into 5 stages. In
the first stage, the creatinine level is normal and in the second stage, the
creatinine level is 1.6-2.0mg/dL. So from the above, we can know that the
creatinine 1.73 shows that chronic kidney disease patients have developed into
the second stage. In the second stage, the creatinine is 1.6-2.0mg/dL or
133-177μmol/L. In this stage, there are in most of time no obvious symptoms and
patients can not find it out unless they have an examination. However, patients
needn’t worry for as long as chronic kidney disease patients adopt treatment,
the damage can be reversible.
According to the international diagnosis, more than 95% of kidney diseases
are caused by human immune disorder. In most western countries, western medicine
such as hormones and immuno suppressive agents are used to control the excessive
immune response. In this way, the immune damage inside of the kidney can be
controlled for the time being. However, the immune complex will deposit onto the
kidney, which leads to further immune response again.
In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, besides this, we have 6 steps in
total, which goes as follows: scientific diagnosis, immune blocking, immune
resistance, immune adjustment, immune protection and immune clearance. More
information, please consult us and we are glad to help.
