Top 3 Causes of High Creatinine Levels

Creatinine is a waste from the digestion of protein in your food and muscle breakdown. It is removed from the blood through the kidneys and the average range of creatinine level is 0.7-1.2 mg/dl for males and 0.5-1.0 for females. If the creatinine level is high, it can indicate a certain problem. With affordable creatinine test prices, people can check their creatinine levels easily.

  2. Introduction Creatinine is a waste from the digestion of protein in your food and muscle breakdown. It is removed from the blood through the kidneys and the average range of creatinine level is 0.7-1.2 mg/dl for males and 0.5-1.0 for females. If the creatinine level is high, it can indicate a certain problem. With affordable creatinine test prices, people can check their creatinine levels easily.

  3. Chronic Kidney Disease Healthcare providers can use the creatinine blood test to calculate glomerular filtration rate (GFR)—a measure to indicate chronic kidney disease. If the GFR level is less than 60, it may indicate kidney disease, and less than 15 indicates kidney failure. The damaged kidneys have trouble removing creatinine from the blood, resulting in high levels.

  4. Kidney Obstruction A person with an enlarged prostate or kidney stone can have blockage in urine flow. This blockage can create a backup of urine in the kidney and impair its ability to function properly. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, it can lead to an increase in a person's blood creatinine levels.

  5. Increased Consumption of Protein Health protein powder and cooked meat contain proteins, so eating more than the recommended levels can lead to a temporary rise in creatinine levels because of increased metabolic activity. For healthy individuals, a high-protein diet may not cause elevated levels of creatinine, but for individuals with some kidney problem or damage having a high-protein diet can cause creatinine levels to rise.

  6. Conclusion Creatinine levels serve as the indicator of kidney health and the creatinine test—an affordable kidney function test cost helps detect potential issues. Chronic kidney disease, kidney obstruction, and increased protein consumption are some of the key factors that can contribute to elevated creatinine levels. The Full Body Checkup Price in Amritsar can vary depending on the healthcare provider and the range of tests included in the package. While some checkups focus on basic health parameters, others offer a more detailed analysis covering organ function, blood profiles, and lifestyle-related indicators.
