Meaning of creatinina by Francisco Valdez Mendoza

Organic compound generated by degradation of creatine: muscle nutrient caused by metabolic waste of muscles. It occurs at very constant rates, according to muscle mass. Her kidneys filtered and excreted in the urine. Its amount is indicator of kidney function.Blood creatinine increased occurs in cases of marked damage to the nephrons ( 41 excretorias units;. Why this test is not suitable to detect early stages of renal failure. Through a test of 'clearance of creatinine' (CrCl ) gets better assessment of the functioning of the kidneys.In the United States creatinine levels are expressed in milligrams per deciliter ( 41 mg/dl;. In Canada and in Europe you can use micro mole per liter; 1 mg/dl is equivalent to 88.4 micro mole per liter. Expressed in mg/dl in women vary from 0.6 to 1.1; in men, 0.8 to 1.3. Higher amounts are creatininemia. In addition to kidney function, the content of creatinine in the blood circulation depends on muscle mass. Therefore, in a male bodybuilder, 2.0 mg/dl of creatinine may indicate normal kidney function.In contrast, it is possible that 0.7 mg/dl in a fragile old woman connote kidney disease. More important than absolute level is the tendency of such securities within a certain time. A growing figure involves damage; a declining value denotes improvement. Of Greek origin, the concept derived from the substantive «kréatos»: meat ( of «kréas»: flesh ) "inos": substance, and «áima» ( the diphthong 'AI' becomes 'e' ): blood. (Source: 41 Wikipedia;
