What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?
Question: My question is: Would you consider that if the kidneys were operating with Creatinine and GFR readings between 275 / 22 and 450 / 12 for a full month – (the worst period being 11 days with creatinine being between 355 and 450) – that other body organs and systems might be affected by the contaminated blood flow?
Brief Answer:
pulmonary edema
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking in HCM
I can understand your concern.
Concerning respiratory system (mainly the lungs), during a kidnay failure (which means the blood not filtered), the only damage is the overloads of the liquids in them,or in other words,Pulmonary Edema.
This is a common condition in these situation. And fortunately diuretics can resolve it fast.
One other organ that may be be damaged too from high levels of creatinin is the brain .
If it happens it is not a good sign for the kidneys, which means that the dialysis or the ultrafiltration of the blood might not help so much anymore.
I hope this info have been helpful for you
Take care and feel free to ask me again
