A member asked:
My 2 year old had labwork yesterday and her creatinine level was 0.26 with a listed standard range of 0.30 to 0.70. is this a cause for concern?

No: This lab is worrisome when the level is too high, not at the lower end. My references for an infant list .2 as the lower end. The level reflects the kidneys handling of the creatinine molecule which is generated by your metabolism. When it goes high, it implys that the kidneys are having trouble keeping up.

No: No, the lower the better. It's a indication of kidney function. Kidneys are GOOD!

No: Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside on either end. That's so as not to miss stuff. Kids tend to run low in any case.
