Creatinine is a natural waste substance produced due to muscle breakdown. This waste product generally gets into the blood. And your kidneys remove it from the blood to ensure that the body gets clean blood for optimum functionality. In other words, healthy kidneys balance creatinine level in the blood as they excrete creatinine with other wastes from the body with urine. A little creatinine amount is left in your blood which is considered a normal creatinine amount. Healthy kidneys maintain normal serum creatinine levels in the blood. Consequently, serum creatinine level is often seen as your kidney function indicator. There may be slight variation in creatinine value due to old age, more body muscles, a habit of taking protein-rich foods often, strenuous workouts, and many other factors. These conditions cause a temporary rise in your serum creatinine level that is not harmful until it doesn’t last for a long time.

But have you ever wondered how urine tells us about health? As you might already know, Kidneys are fist-sized organs responsible for maintaining water, minerals, and nutrients levels inside our body. Kidneys have tiny blood vessels inside them responsible for filtering out our blood from all kinds of toxins and waste compounds that are no longer required by the body. Once the kidneys filter out these waste products, they are thus removed from the body through urine. If there is anything in excess inside the body, the kidneys will try to filter it out through urine. Similarly, if the kidneys are not functioning properly or if there is any kind of injury on the kidneys or blood vessels, it might result in blood in the urine that we are going to talk...

Kidney stone starts with an excruciating pain that you probably would not wish for your worst enemy. Kidney stone gives a sharp pain in the lower abdomen that comes in waves, and a person might also feel an intense pain or burning sensation while passing urine.
