Does indigestion affect creatinine?

Indigestion usually does not directly affect creatinine levels, but severe indigestion may indirectly affect creatinine levels.

Indigestion is a gastrointestinal disease, creatinine is a metabolite of the kidneys, and indigestion cannot directly affect creatinine levels in the kidneys. However, severe indigestion may cause insufficient digestion and absorption of food, resulting in insufficient nutrient intake. Chronic malnutrition may cause muscle tissue to break down and release more creatinine, resulting in increased creatinine levels. If indigestion causes vomiting and diarrhea, the body loses a lot of water and causes dehydration. Increased creatinine levels

are not only caused by indigestion, but also by many other factors, such as kidney disease, drug use, etc. If abnormal creatinine levels occur, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor to understand the specific cause and conduct relevant examinations and diagnosis.
