High value of creatinine clearance.serum creatinine 0, 8mg/dl.creat. clearance 165ml/min.normal value from 80 to130.what's the relevance of high value?

Don't worry: A high estimated GFR means nothing whateve except that the estimate has little to do with reality. The fad for estimating glomerular filtration rates in healthy people based on a correlation with serum creatinine is unscientific and has many pathologists and nephrologists unhappy. Ignore it.
