Creatinine is a waste product that produces from the regular metabolism of the body muscle. Everyone has creatinine in their bloodstream, but this must be eliminated from the blood by the kidneys, and you may need specific creatinine treatment. Creatinine is a waste product that is produced from the nitrogenous acid that is synthesized in the liver. Creatine transported to skeletal muscle and stored in the form of creatine phosphate and restores it in ATP after muscle contraction. Then creatine gets converted into the creatinine by non-enzymatic dehydration.
Creatinine is mainly filtered by the filters of the kidneys (glomeruli). Glomeruli are the main part of the kidneys that are responsible for performing most of the functions of the kidneys.
Relationship between creatinine and kidney disease
Usually, doctors use a serum creatinine test to check the functioning of the kidneys. It is not the best and ultimate way to check the kidney’s health. It is because the level of the creatinine in the blood is affected by age, gender, body size, and the number of body muscles. If anyone wants to check the functioning of the kidneys, then it is compulsory to check the GFR or glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
Serum creatinine and GFR is a routine lab test that can be found on the blood work report. Creatinine level is measured from the level of waste being excreted from the blood by the kidneys, and GFR is calculated that includes your creatinine, along with the age, gender, and body weight. Factors that are responsible for high creatinine level are:
- Certain medications and antibiotics like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs and pain killers
- Supplements that are rich in creatine can raise the creatinine level
- Dietary factor plays a crucial role as a high intake of protein is responsible for high creatinine level
- Dehydration
- Strenuous exercise can increase your creatinine level
- Impaired kidney function
- Low blood flow
- Shock, infections, and severe illnesses like cancer can also elevate the creatinine level and create problems for the kidneys
- Sometimes kidney damage or trauma can also increase the creatinine level.
