A member asked:
Will high bloodsugar cause low creatin levels in urine? i had blood sugar levels of 300 and above and recently took a drug test that came back having low creatin levels.

No : No the high sugar will not mess with creatine or creatinine levels. You need your diabetes controlled however. Work on that with your doctor. Creatinine is usually measured in the blood while creatine is very seldom tested. The higher the blood creatinine the worse the kidney function, in general.

Diluted urine: A low creatinine is not from elevated sugars, but from excessive water drinking, which is common in diabetics. It means you are drinking enough water to dilute your urine. It is not dangerous, but most drug tests will be considered "adulterated" - a failed test - if the creatinine is below 20. Get your diabetes under control asap. Continued high sugars are dangerous to your health.

Blood work and 24hr urine test done. Total protein and creatine within limits. Urine showed creatine 3.4 g/24hr and protein 180 mg/24hr. Are these numbers cause for concern? There was spillage which I put into the can and may have went over 24hrs?
