kidney stoneMay cause an increase in creatinine. But simplicitykidney stoneGenerally, it will not cause a significant increase in creatinine, but if the patient has acute urinary tract obstruction, chronic urinary tract obstruction and other diseases, it will lead to a significant increase in creatinine.

1. It may not cause an increase in creatinine

1. Simple kidney stones: If it is a small asymptomatic single small stone or a large staghorn-shaped stone, it usually does not have much impact on the kidneys, and there will be no obvious clinical manifestations, so it will not lead to an increase in creatinine.

2. Chronic urinary tract obstruction: chronic urinary tract obstruction caused by ureteral stricture, prostatic hyperplasia, etc., can lead to hydronephrium due to long-term poor urination, resulting in a slight increase in creatinine.

2. It may lead to an increase in creatinine

When kidney stones are combined with acute urinary tract obstruction, it is easy to cause a sharp rise in pressure in the renal pelvis, which reduces the blood flow to the kidneys, and the phenomenon of renal function damage will occur, resulting in a significant increase in creatinine. In addition, if kidney stones are combined with chronic urinary tract obstruction, and the obstruction lasts for a long time, it will also lead to impaired kidney function and then increased creatinine.
