How Does High Creatinine Show Kidney Disease Progression? - Chronic Kidney Support

How Does High Creatinine Show Kidney Disease Progression? Have you ever wondered how doctors monitor the progression of kidney disease? In this informative video, we'll explain the significance of high creatinine levels and what they reveal about kidney health. We'll start by describing what creatinine is and how it is produced in the body. You'll learn how healthy kidneys typically remove creatinine from your blood and what happens when they begin to weaken. We'll discuss how rising creatinine levels can indicate that your kidneys are not filtering waste effectively, signaling potential progression of chronic kidney disease. Additionally, we'll cover how doctors track kidney function over time using tests like the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and why these measurements are important. You'll discover how various factors such as muscle mass, diet, and hydration can influence creatinine levels and how healthcare providers interpret these results alongside other tests like protein in the urine. Monitoring these indicators helps your medical team decide on the best treatment options to slow disease progression. We'll also share tips on managing kidney health through blood pressure control, diabetes management, and dietary adjustments.
