The causes of high creatinine
High creatinine is not a good marker for early stage kidney disease, however, because it does not begin to rise until about 40 percent of kidney function has already been lost.
The most common causes of longstanding (chronic) kidney disease in adults are high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. Certain drugs can sometimes cause abnormally elevated creatinine levels. Serum creatinine can also transiently increase after ingestion of a large amount of dietary meat; thus, nutrition can sometimes play a role in creatinine measurement. Diseased kidneys will no longer filter creatinine from the blood effectively; therefore, levels begin to rise. What's more, a website of the National Institutes of Health, indicates that transient increases in creatinine can be caused by dehydration.
The symptoms of high creatinine
An individual may present with decreased output of urine (oliguria) and urine may appear dark in color. Edema or puffiness such as in the face and around the eyes or other areas may be found upon examination. Additionally, the individual may report pain occurring in the lower back or lumbar region.
With increasing creatinine levels, some possible signs may include a low-grade fever, fatigue, lethargy or a generalized sense of malaise. Loss of appetite and changes in weight may be identified.
