What to do if the urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio is too high

The detection of urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio is a routine method for diagnosing kidney disease. If you find that the urea nitrogen-creatinine ratio has become higher, there may be something wrong with your kidneys. The urea nitrogen:creatinine ratio of healthy people is within the normal range. If the kidneys are not in good condition, check whether the urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio is high.

High urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio:

1. Kidney disease is caused by the accumulation of many factors such as environment and life. Patients with kidney disease are often under great pressure, whether from daily life, family and friends, or even from the contempt of passers-by. They suffer great pain and torture psychologically.

2. Urea nitrogen is actually a product of protein metabolism. The urea nitrogen of a normal person is 2.8-7.14mmol/L. However, when the kidneys are damaged and the glomerular filtration function is impaired, it will cause water and sodium retention, and urea nitrogen will also increase. Of course, urea nitrogen will also be affected to a certain extent by the metabolism of nitrogen. Therefore, if the patient consumes a large amount of protein, it will cause a temporary increase in urea nitrogen. Generally, the patient does not need to worry too much about this situation.

3. Serum creatinine is a product of muscle metabolism and also a waste product produced by the metabolism of nitrogen-containing organic matter. The normal blood creatinine level is maintained at 42-104umol/L. Generally, low blood creatinine is mostly due to the patient's diet. However, if the patient has elevated blood creatinine, it is mostly due to kidney damage, which leads to the obstruction of the kidney's metabolism of creatinine. The kidney excretes less creatinine, which will cause an increase in creatinine in the blood. Therefore, an increase in blood creatinine is a direct reflection of the health of the kidneys. 4. Changes in creatinine and urea nitrogen directly threaten the patient's health. If the patient's condition changes, the corresponding creatinine value will also increase significantly. There are many reasons for high blood creatinine. Patients can learn more about them in a targeted manner, so as to do a good job of preventive health care in life and avoid changes in creatinine, which will directly harm the kidneys.
