See details: It depends on your muscle mass, but if you exercise daily that creatinine level is likely to be normal for you. If you use creatine supplements that would be another possible cause. I doubt ketobest has any value.

Exactly. Thanks, Dr. Krauser. "Normal ranges" and "estimated GFR's" are developed using couch potatoes. Our correspondent should be commended for his commitment to fitness and we can hope it's a lifetime habit.
