A member asked:

My creatinine is 1.3.my est.gfr is 60.my doctor said to drink more fluids and have it checked again next week.is this true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Creatinine can be somewhat variable and tests can be inaccurate. Most of the time when there's an abnormal test result, repeating the test is the first step.
