A member asked:

Creatinine 1.3 bun and others normal.i don't have high bp or diabetics.one nephro told me to take taurine and acetylecystine.how useful is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Creatinine: Normal creatinine ranges from 0.6 -1.3. This can vary from lab to lab age and sex. Dehydration, exercise for 2 days prior to testing and ingestion of > 8oz of meat can erroneously elevate levels.
