I'm diagnosed with CKD in last years .And the test result tell me my creatinine level is 3.1 . I want to know is it high ? And What is Creatinine 3.1 mean.

The following is a reply of these questions

Creatinine is a chemical waste product in the blood that passes through the kidneys to be filtered and eliminated in urine. The chemical waste is a by-product of normal muscle contractions. Creatinine is made from creatine, a supplier of energy to the muscle.

The normal range of creatinine level in adults is 0.5~1.1mg/dl for female and 0.6~1.2mg/dl for male. Creatinine 3.1 is much higher than this value . What should we do in this stage is to treat it early .

When there is kidney damage or kidney disease, and the kidneys are not able to filter waste efficiently, there will likely be a rise in creatinine levels in the blood. For adults with chronic kidney disease, dialysis is recommended when creatinine levels reach 10.0 mg/dL. Forbabies with chronic kidney disease, dialysis is recommended when their creatinine level is 2.0 mg/dL.
