A member asked:
Why have i been told that i have high potassium and low function kidneys. i have normal creatinine. what is wrong with me.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Creatinine: If you have a normal creatinine by definition your kidney function should be normal Although creatinine is based on muscle mass If you have low muscle mass having a so called normal creatinine you still could have abnormal renal function
