I have been diagnosed with Syncope and want to know exactly what it is. I also suffer from kidney disease and was on dialysis for 2 1/4 years. Now my creatine level is at 1.9. What is a normal level? I lost both legs and the majority of fingers on my dominate left hand due to Thrombotic Thrombocytopinia Purpura. (T.T.P. in 2003
Hello! Thank you for the question! I understand your clinical situation. A syncope is a sudden loss of body tone, with loss of conscience which lasts for some seconds. As a result the person falls sown immediately without understanding what happened. This is caused by a disorder called autonomic dysfunction which causes episodes of low blood perfusion to the brain. Have you had Chat Doctor? Renal failure is a common complication of these disorders. Syncope too. Renal failure can also cause syncope. So you have two RISC factors for syncope. The normal levels for creatinine are 0.5-1.5 mg/dl for men and 0.6-1.2 mg/ml for women. Your level is not too high. Hope to have helpful. Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes
