It depends/can vary.: The standard reference ranges for serum creatinine are 0.5 to 1.0 mg/dl (about 45-90 μmol/l) for women and 0.7 to 1.2 mg/dl (60-110 μmol/l) for men.  These can vary.  For example, a bodybuilder can have a creatinine level of 2.0 and be healthy, while an elderly female can have a value of 1.2 and have severe renal disease.

Kidney function test: The egfr is estimated glomerular filtration rate. Which is measured by the serum creatinine, a chemical removed from the blood by the kidney. Normal scr is about 1, normal egfr is about 100. You should review these labs with your  doctor to see why they are abnormal.

: That is an abnormally high creatinine. How long has it been at that same level? If more than 3 months then it can be chronic kidney disease, if not it can be acute kidney injury. Do you have protein in your urine? We need more information to answer your question. The best person to help you is a kidney specialist, you can start with your primary care doctor

Question 5

what is the cure for high creatinine?

Accepted Answer

High Calcium Levels: The treatment for a high creatinine (c) level depends on what caused it. If it were due to drugs like nsaid's, stopping them would lower it. If it were due to some obstruction of the urinary tract, relief of that obstruction, if done soon enough, would lower the c level. See a neprhologist to be evaluated for the cause of your elevated c and to find out if it can be lowered. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Good question: Creatinine in the urine, like in the blood, comes from the muscles.  The urine creatinine can be collected for 24 hours to calculate the creatinine clearance.  A sample of urine creatinine and protein can be used to estimate the 24h urine loss of protein.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

See details: Foamy urine usually indicates elevated protein in the urine more than an elevated creatinine.

Question 9

baking soda is safe for have a high creatinine?

Accepted Answer

Not as treatment: Muscular men tend to have high creatinine and with today's laboratory fads tend to become instant kidney patients. If your creatinine is up because of actual illness, see whether you can't get it treated -- baking soda won't even deal with the acidosis of kidney failure as you simply turn it to carbon dioxide and breathe it out.

Question 10

sir please help me.. my uncle has high creatinine level, is baking soda is a good home dremedy for it?thank you sir

Accepted Answer

Kidney disease: This requires knowledge of the cause of the kidney failure and the value of serum electrolytes. Even if acidosis is present you can't home remedy it by given quantities of baking soda without knowing the precise amount of sodium bicarbonate you're administering and daily measuring of electrolytes. The physician or nephrologist who knows the case is best qualified to render proper care and followup
