i’m going to talk about what does it mean if you  have high creatinine in your blood okay so i’m  

just going to show you all the reasons why this  could be now there’s something called creatine  

that converts to creatinine which is a waste  product that’s supposed to be through the urine  

but when it’s backing up into the blood  that means there potentially could be  

a kidney problem but there’s other reasons  as well but creatine in general helps recycle  

atp which is an energy currency in your  muscles and your brain it’s involved in  

muscle metabolism also a lot of people take  it for exercise performance so when you have  

high levels of creatinine in your blood but it’s  low in the kidney it could be number one kidney  

damage okay it could also be you’re taking an ace  inhibitor now there’s other medications too that  

can create this effect i didn’t talk about those  i wanted to talk about the most common reasons  

now intense exercise because you’re breaking  down muscle you may have high creatine in  

your blood it doesn’t mean there’s a kidney  problem at all it just means you’re exercising  

and you’re breaking down that compound now  the more muscle mass that you have the more  

creatinine you’re going to have as well now  this next thing is probably more relatable to  

more people that are doing keto a lot of times  they’ll do maybe too much protein but dietary meat  

especially if it’s cooked it could potentially  create high levels of creatinine in your blood  

simply because when you heat the meat it converts  creatine to creatinine okay it’s non-pathogenic  

it’s not a problem you just might want to lower  the amount of meat that you eat then you have  

creatine supplements if you’re taking this for  performance or you’re a bodybuilder or whatever  

if you’re having too much that may end up in the  blood too it’s non-pathogenic it’s not a problem  

you might want to just lower the amounts all right  there you have it the six reasons why you may have  

higher levels of creatinine in your blood before  you go if you have a question about a product
