A member asked:
I am doing heavy exercise and taking high protein diet since last 6mths. now my serum creatinine is 1.8 , could this be normal? i have no other symptom

Good for you!: Yes. It's usual for bodybuilders to have a serum creatinine up to 2.0. When i was lifting daily, mine ran 1.6 to 1.7. The current fad for interpreting creatinines and estimating gfr's out of context is unscientific and has caused complaints in the peer-reviewed literature from pathologists and nephrologists. Keep it up.
