Creatinine serum Test Abnormal results of 35l?

Increased creatinine levels (hypercreatininemia)

* Acute kidney injury (AKI)

* Most common cause of increased creatinine levels

* Can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

* Decreased blood flow to the kidneys

* Damage to the kidney tubules

* Obstruction of the urinary tract

* Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

* Gradual loss of kidney function over time

* Most common cause of CKD is diabetes

* Other causes of CKD include:

* High blood pressure

* Heart disease

* Obesity

* Smoking

* Muscle damage

* Creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism

* Increased muscle damage can lead to increased creatinine levels

* Causes of muscle damage include:

* Exercise

* Trauma

* Muscle diseases

* Medications

* Some medications can increase creatinine levels

* These medications include:

* Antibiotics

* Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

* Cimetidine

* Ranitidine

Decreased creatinine levels (hypocreatininemia)

* Low muscle mass

* Creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism

* Decreased muscle mass can lead to decreased creatinine levels

* Causes of low muscle mass include:

* Aging

* Malnutrition

* Cancer

* Pregnancy

* Creatinine levels are often lower during pregnancy

* This is due to the increased blood volume and decreased muscle mass that occur during pregnancy

* Liver disease

* Liver disease can lead to decreased creatinine levels

* This is because the liver helps to clear creatinine from the blood
