how increase in serium creatinine affects a person?

Question

with respect to renal failure.

Answer 1

Serum creatinine is the marker of kidney dysfunction, It is a metabolic product and kidneys should be expel it out to keep it in a normal minimal range of 0.6 - 1.2 mg/dl,
If the S. creatinine value is higher the it must be interpreted that kidneys are not working properly and thus expulsion of other waste products is also not happening properly which may lead to ill effect on other vital organs - a greatly and rapidly rising creatinine may cause brain damage (encephalopathy), damage to heart , nerves and eyes.
Diabetes is the most important culprit of kidney damage and hence rising creatinine. In late stage end - stage kidney damage may ensue and need for dialysis could arise - indicator is again serum creatinine.

Answer 2

Serum creatinine is increased in Chronic nephritis-a long standing inflammation of kidneys;renal failure.

It could also be caused by urinary tract obstruction like a small stone,etc.

Please note:This information is in general use.If you want to use this info for diagnosing somebody's medical reports,you have to provide many additional details which include but not limited to Age,sex,etc and all other history.I am myself a medicine student.

Answer 3

Creatinine is excretory product produced exclusively by muscles and meant for excretion through kidneys.In case of kidney dysfunction,its starts to accumulate in blood(serum) reflecting the damage happened to one's kidney. So increase of serum creatinine per se does not affect a person,but its a marker of how good kidney function is.Normal upper limit of serum creatinine is 1.4 mg/dl.
