What can a low creatinine level in the body cause?
Creatinine is a substance that is produced during the body's natural activity (metabolism), and the body gets rid of this substance with the kidneys. A low creatinine level in the body means that one is healthy and their kidneys are very healthy and efficient.
What is the normal range for Alk Phos?
Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme found in many organs in the body, including the liver. Normal values: 30 - 120Elevated: A warning sign that there is some type of liver dysfunction resulting in liver tissue damage.Below normal: Usually not significant.
What does a 2500 triglyceride level do to the body?
you will grow an extra arm
Is arsenic a metal found in the body?
1. Arsenic is not a metal, but a metalloid. 2. Arsenic is not found in a normal human body.
The body's water volume is closely tied to the level of which ions?
Sodium

What is freeziing a humann body called?
Cyrogenic
What is 1.4 serum creatinine?
That is at the high end of normal. It also depends on whether you are a female or a male. Females generally have a lower serum creatinine level because they generally have a lower muscle mass than males. Creatinine is a byproduct of the breakdown product of creatine, which is an important part of muscle tissue. It is normal for the body to breakdown muscle as it also builds up muscle to maintain homeostasis. So the 1.4 serum creatinine was a result of a test your doctor gave you to check how your kidneys are functioning, and 1.4 is within a normal range.
What does raised creatinine clearance mean?
Creatinine and creatinine clearance tests measure creatinine levels (the level of the waste product) in your blood and urine to give information about how well your kidneys are working. The substance creatine is formed when food is changed into energy through a process called metabolism. Creatine is broken down into another substance called creatinine, which is taken out of your blood by the kidneys and then passed out of your body in urine. Creatinine is made at a steady rate and is not affected by diet or by normal physical activities. If your kidneys are damaged and cannot work normally, the amount of creatinine in your urine goes down while its level in your blood goes up. The creatinine clearance value is found from the amounts of creatinine in the urine and blood and from the amount of urine you pass in 24 hours. This value is the amount of blood cleared of creatinine per minute, based on your body size.
The creatinine clearance test detects abnormalities in which body system?
It detects problems at the level of the kidney, since this is a specific kidney function test.
What is normal CReatinin level?
The typical reference ranges are 0.5 to 1.0 mg/dL (about 45-90 μmol/l) for women and 0.7 to 1.2 mg/dL (60-110 μmol/l) for men. While a baseline serum creatinine of 2.0 mg/dL (150 μmol/l) may indicate normal kidney function in a male body builder, a serum creatinine of 0.7 mg/dL (60 μmol/l) can indicate significant renal disease in a frail old woman. In the United States, creatinine is typically reported in mg/dL, while in Canada and Europe μmol/litre may be used. 1 mg/dL of creatinine is 88.4 μmol/l1.
What causes the body to make to much creatine?
If it is your body, you may have a kidney problem, or the beginnings of one. A high nitrogen level in the blood can cause the creatinine level to elevate. Creatinine is an anhydrate of creatine. Notice the difference in the spelling of the two.Creatine is an alkaloid or amino acid present in muscle tissue.Creatinine is excreted by the urine.A urine test along with a blood test determines if the kidneys are functioning properly. Anabolic steroid use will elevate creatinine levels, but many other drugs can do the same. If you are using any medications, legal or not, you may want to increase your intake of water. If unprescribed, you may want to discontinue use until your levels return to normal.
What may increase creatinine in the body?
A diet high in meat content can cause transient elevations of serum creatinine. Some drugs that may increase creatinine values
What is creatinine clearance?
In general, creatinine clearance is the removal of creatinine from the body. In renal physiology, creatinine clearance is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine per unit time. Clinically, creatinine clearance is a useful measure for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the kidneys.1Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate in muscle, and is usually produced at a fairly constant rate by the body (depending on muscle mass).2The result of this test is an important gauge used in assessing excretory function of the kidneys.11. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatinine_clearance2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatinine
Homeostasis is defined as a state in which?
vital functions of the body are maintained at a normal level.
I have raised sodium and creatine blood results should I be worried about this. I also have a underactive thyroid.?
Lab values cannot be interpreted without a proper clinical history. "Normal" values are based on a statistical analysis of random samples of populations. These values are usually taken to be anything within two standard deviations of the mean value. The numbers are inherently flawed so that people's values could fall within the "normal" range but be technically abnormal, just as a technically normal individual might have a laboratory value that falls outside of the accepted "normal" values. It happens all the time; a common example is with body mass index, where very muscular individuals can be classified as obese despite having a very low body fat percentage. Similar things can happen with sodium and creatinine levels. For example, very muscular people can produce more creatinine and therefore have higher, but completely normal, creatinine levels. That said, it is important that you have your high sodium and creatinine levels investigated by a health professional. High sodium is an indicator of hypertonicity, which can result from certain medical conditions. An abnormally high creatinine level can suggest kidney damage, but this needs to be investigated in the context of your clinical history, like I suggested above. All of this needs to be considered with your hypothyroidism.
What is the normal level for leukocytes?
Leukocytes also known as the white blood cells are considered to be at normal level when they range between 4,500 to 10,000. Leukocytes fight infections in the body.
