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.
can you explain how the kidneys remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance?
Yes, consuming too many electrolytes can lead to negative health effects such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and potential damage to the kidneys and heart. It is important to maintain a balance of electrolytes in the body for optimal health.
The new kidney may start functioning immediately, or may take several weeks to begin producing urine. Living donor kidneys are more likely to begin functioning earlier than cadaver kidneys,
