Accepted Answer

No: At your age, this is something i would watch, but it could be caused by you not drinking enough water before getting your blood drawn.  If everything else looked good on your labs, then make sure you drink a glass or two of water before going to the lab next time and see if it goes down.

Question 3

how can i lower my creatine level?

Lots of water: If high cr is due to intrinsic kidney disease, there is no way to realistically change it and no benefit to trying.  Creatinine is not the problem, the broken kidney is the problem.  If you lose a lot of muscle mass your creatinine will drop and you may drink a lot of water but these do not fix the kidney.

Question 9

what is the normal creatine level in general population?

Accepted Answer

0.6 to 1.2: Normal creatinine is 0.6-1,2.  Body mass, pregnancy, muscle mass, age, sex and state of hydration can effect the value.  A large muscular man may have a higher creatinine than a small old lady with little muscle.  Weight lifters with large muscle masses can have sometimes creatinines which exceed normal levels but when renal function is measured in other ways function is normal.
