BAKIT MABABA ANG CREATININE?

Usually ang mga pasyente na hawak ko ay MATATAAS ANG CREATININE. Pero paano kapag MABABA? Ilan sa mga maaaring dahilan:

✅ MALNUTRITION - low muscle mass o payatot, less source of creatinine kasi konti ang muscle. Konti ang kinakain na karne so konti rin ang source ng creatinine

✅ LIVER DISEASE - liver produces CREATINE. Kung mababa ang creatine production, less ang nacoconvert into creatinine

✅ PREGNANCY - increased blood flow sa kidneys kapag buntis kaya mas mabilis malinis ang creatinine sa dugo.

✅ VEGETARIAN DIET - source ng creatinine sa dugo ang meat kaya pag hindi gaano kumakain ng karne, mababa ang creatinine

By itself, hindi delikado ang mababang creatinine. Pero sign ito na maaaring may iba pang sakit ang pasyente na kailangang pagtuunan ng pansin.

ANO ANG PLEURAL EFFUSION (TUBIG SA PALIGID NG BAGA)?

🚩Ang mga BAGA ay nababalot ng manipis na membrane na tinatawag na VISCERAL PLEURA, samantalang ang CHEST WALL ay nakadikit sa PARIETAL PLEURA.

🚩Ang space o espasyo sa pagitan ng baga at chest wall na tinatawag na PLEURAL CAVITY. Normal na may ilang mL ng tubig sa space na ito.

🚩Ang PLEURAL EFFUSION ay ang ABNORMAL na PAGKAIPON ng tubig sa pleural space o sa paligid ng baga (HINDI MISMO SA LOOB NG BAGA).

🚩Maaring isa o parehong baga ang magkaroon ng pleural effusion

🚩COMMON SA MGA DIALYSIS PATIENTS ang pleural effusion bilang isa sa mga kumplikasyon ng END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE (UREMIC PLEURITIS)

🚩Ang iba pang mga dahilan ng pagkakaroon ng PLEURAL EFFUSION:
- PNEUMONIA
- CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
- TUBERCULOSIS
- CANCER
- PULMONARY EMBOLISM
- LIVER FAILURE / CIRRHOSIS
- RHEUMATIC DISEASE
