What does high liver function mean?

A creatinine value that is higher than the normal level is called high creatinine. High creatinine has many harmful effects on the body, the most important of which is the harm to the kidneys. Therefore, people with high creatinine must pay attention to many problems. At the same time, friends who do not have high creatinine should also be careful to prevent it. Friends with high creatinine should pay attention to their diet, try to control salt intake, also control protein intake, and eat more foods rich in vitamins A, B2 and C.

1. Reasons

1. Water loss in the body, such as fever, sweating, reduced water intake, polyuria leading to blood concentration, reduced renal blood flow, and increased creatinine.

2. Fatigue, poor rest and inattention to life details can also cause a certain range of increased blood creatinine.

3. People with abnormal urine, long-term hematuria and proteinuria will experience elevated creatinine levels without realizing it.

4. Patients with kidney disease who take drugs that damage the kidneys without knowing it may experience elevated creatinine, which may even be irreversible.

5. People with renal insufficiency will experience an increase in creatinine in a short period of time when they are infected (including colds, pneumonia, intestinal infections, urinary tract infections, etc.).

6. Patients with hypertension have unstable blood pressure and may have high creatinine levels.

7. Patients with kidney disease may experience elevated creatinine levels due to relapse of the disease.

2. Symptoms

1. Water metabolism disorders: including polyuria, increased nocturia, thirst, dry mucous membranes, fatigue, etc.; or general edema, increased blood pressure, pulmonary edema and heart failure, etc.

2. Sodium metabolism disorder: High creatinine may also cause hyponatremia or hypernatremia.

3. Potassium metabolism disorders: High creatinine is often accompanied by hyperkalemia or hypokalemia.

4. Metabolic acidosis: Patients with high creatinine may have symptoms such as deep and long breathing, lack of appetite, abdominal pain and nausea, vomiting, weakness, headache, restlessness and even coma.

5. Abnormal metabolism of aluminum, magnesium, copper, zinc and selenium, etc.

6. Renal osteopathy: bone pain and proximal muscle weakness; bone pain is often systemic, with the weight-bearing bones of the lower body being the most severe, and bone deformities can cause symptoms such as short stature.

7. Respiratory system diseases

8. Circulatory system diseases

9. Digestive system diseases

10. Blood system diseases, such as renal anemia, etc.

11. Neuromuscular system diseases and skin symptoms.

12. Endocrine dysfunction; metabolic disorders, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, lipid metabolism disorders, protein and amino acid metabolism disorders, retention of metabolic waste, etc.

13. Patients with high creatinine may also experience clinical symptoms such as thyroid dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, and growth retardation.

3. Common hazards

1. Sodium metabolism disorder: High blood creatinine may also cause hyponatremia or hypernatremia.

2. Abnormal metabolism of aluminum, magnesium, copper, zinc and selenium, etc.

3. Metabolic acidosis: Patients with high blood creatinine have symptoms such as deep and long breathing, lack of appetite, abdominal pain and nausea, vomiting, weakness, headache, restlessness and even coma.

4. Water metabolism disorder: symptoms such as polyuria, increased nocturia, thirst, dry mucous membranes, fatigue, etc.; or general edema, increased blood pressure, pulmonary edema, and heart failure.

5. Potassium metabolism disorders: High blood creatinine is often accompanied by hyperkalemia or hypokalemia.
