A member asked:
Is it possible to have a (starting) renal dysfunction even if creatinin in blood serum is normal? what are symptoms? and how to test for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early renal injury: Yes. Serum creatinine does not reveal kidney impairment until 25-35 percent of function is lost. The doc orders a 24 hr urine creatinine clearance to get an accurate percent function.
