A member asked:

Creatinine of .09 bun of 14 bun/creatinine ratio is 16 but cystatin c is 1.14 and egfr is 66.... do i have some kidney function issues pcp not concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Forget it: The formulas used to estimate kidney function from spot creatinines are actually anti-scientific. They include an adjustment for race "because black people are more muscular." Creatinine where you have it is fine. Be glad for good health and ignore this stuff
