Introduction
Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism in the human body, with a normal reference range typically between 44 and 133 μmol/L. A measured creatinine level of 750 μmol/L indicates kidney damage. If there are no obvious symptoms of discomfort and the patient is in good mental condition, with stable kidney injury or impaired renal function, dialysis is generally not required.
Generally, whether dialysis is needed when creatinine reaches 750 μmol/L depends on the patient's overall health condition. If there are no obvious symptoms of discomfort, dialysis is usually not required. However, if significant symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, or gastrointestinal disturbances occur, dialysis may be necessary.
Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism in the human body, with normal levels typically ranging from 44 to 133 μmol/L. A measured creatinine level of 750 μmol/L indicates kidney damage. If the patient does not experience noticeable discomfort and maintains good mental status, with stable kidney injury or renal insufficiency, dialysis is generally not required at this stage.
If severe kidney dysfunction occurs, accompanied by poor general health, clear symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal abnormalities, as well as complications like edema or hyperkalemia, or if the condition has progressed to uremia, dialysis treatment is usually necessary. Dialysis helps maintain internal physiological stability and alleviates symptoms.
In daily life, it is important to pay attention to diet, engage in appropriate physical activity, avoid excessive fatigue, and maintain a positive mindset to strengthen the body and boost immunity.
