See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, as I mentioned earlier, if you are a muscular man engaged in regular physical activity, a creatinine of 1.43 may not be abnormal. Please consult a nephrologist.

How do you FEEL?: Serum creatinine reference ("normal") range is derived from results on non-athletes. If you are muscular / solid / husky, this may be normal for you. WHen I was lifting weights every day, mine ran 1.6-1.8. If your urinalysis and urinary sediment are normal, and your BUN is obviously fine, I'd stop worrying, keep or resume exercising, and be thankful for good health.
