Creatinine of Renal Failure

Creatinine is a chemical waste product produced in your body as a result of muscle metabolism. The breakdown of foods can also produce some creatinine in your body, healthy kidneys remove creatinine from your blood and deposit in your urine for removal from your body. If you have renal failure your kidney mat not recognize the creatinine as a waste product and allow it to accumulate in your blood.
In general, the normal range for creatinine in your blood is between 0.6 and 1.2 mg/dL, If the creatinine levels in your blood exceed 1.2 mg/dL, it can indicate Renal Failure.
If your creatinine blood test is high and your doctor suspects that you have Renal Failure, he may recommend a creatinine clearance test. During this test, you will be asked to collect a 24-hour urine sample. This means that you must collect all of the urine that you expel in a complete 24-hour period and bring it into your doctor's office for testing. Your blood will also be taken for a creatinine clearance test.
The creatinine clearance test measures the amount of creatinine that has been removed from your blood and deposited into your urine. If you have a high level of creatinine in your blood and a decreased level of creatinine in your urine, it indicates decreased kidney function.
In addition to being used to diagnose kidney disease, the creatinine clearance test may also be used to evaluate level of kidney function in those with known kidney failure. Creatinine clearance tests can also be used to measure the effectiveness of dialysis.
To some extent, high creatinine can be controlled if the diet is reasonable, but if your want to treat it fundamentally, a proper way of treatment is necessary.
