A member asked:

My creatinine came back high and my ana came back slightly positive in my blood tests , are these related? what does both mean?

Not related, probabl: Slight ANA increase may no mean much. If you are a muscular male, high creatinine may be acceptable due to muscle mass. You need a 24 hour urine collection to see if your kidney function is actually slow or not.
