- INFO: Creatinine - Creatine

[Guest guest]

Creatine is a supplement taken for building muscle mass and for bodybuilding. Buddy you bulking up at that gym ???? If you are be very careful and of what supplements you take and we want to see a hunk photo. I know I do. Deb Creatine The long-term effects of taking creatine over a long period of time haven’t been established yet. Its side effects when used along with other medications or supplements also haven’t been determined yet. Hence it is better to be well informed about the likely side effects of creatine before using it, especially in

the “loading” method. Most creatine supplement products sold over-the-counter have the precautions and the likely side effects listed on the label. Manufacturers also provide information when requested. There are several websites over the Internet that provides useful information about creatine supplements and their side effects. http://ezinearticles.com/?Creatine-Side-Effects & id=123610 Creatinine The level of creatinine in your body is a marker of kidney function. Creatinine comes from the breakdown of creatine, a muscle protein. Properly functioning kidneys remove creatinine from the blood. Explanation of test results: High

levels of creatinine mean that the kidneys are not functioning normally. When creatinine levels rise gradually, there are not usually any symptoms, and the higher levels can be detected only with blood tests. Other things to know: Certain medications can cause high levels of creatinine. A high creatinine level is sometimes

referred to as "renal insufficiency." If your creatinine level is too high, you may not be able to receive hepatitis C treatments. http://www.hepatitis.va.gov/vahep?page=diag-tests-04-05 ====== CreatinineThe normal range for serum creatinine in the adult is 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL. The ideal BUN:creatinine ratio is 20:1. Creatinine (Cr) is a nitrogen-based waste product that is produced as a result of protein metabolism in muscle tissue. Creatinine is produced at a very steady rate and is not subject to rapid fluctuations. It is

excreted by the kidneys. Creatinine and BUN both measure kidney function, but in slightly different ways. It is clinically useful to evaluate the ratio of BUN to creatinine when conducting a diagnostic assessment. Dehydration and protein breakdown can cause elevation in BUN, but may affect serum creatinine only slightly or not at all. However, if both BUN and serum creatinine are elevated, this strongly suggests the presence of primary kidney disease. Common causes of increased serum creatinine include: Kidney diseases / failure Administration of diuretics, sulfonamides, chloramphenicol, ascorbic acid Use of marijuana Diet high in red meat. Decreased serum

creatinine is rare, but has been associated with muscular dystrophy. http://www.hepatitisneighborhood.com/content/understanding_hepatitis/diagnosing_hepatitisc_1670.aspx
