When you are dehydrated does your kidneys stop working?
When you are dehydrated, your kidneys do not stop working entirely, but their function is significantly affected. Dehydration leads to reduced blood flow to the kidneys, prompting them to conserve water by concentrating urine and reducing its volume. If dehydration is severe and prolonged, it can impair kidney function and potentially lead to acute kidney injury. Therefore, while the kidneys may still function under dehydration, their efficiency and effectiveness are compromised.
When dehydration occurs what hormone secreted by the pituitary causes the kidneys to conserve water?

What causes high creatinine in your kidneys?
High creatinine levels in the blood can be caused by kidney damage or failure, dehydration, certain medications, high-protein diets, or certain medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. When kidneys are not functioning properly, they may not be able to properly filter out creatinine from the blood, leading to elevated levels.
