A member asked:
Will protein too be high if serum cretanine is elevated.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High creatinine: We use creatinine as a marker of kidney function and if it is elevated we think maybe that the kidneys are not filtering well. The protein in the serum may be up either because you had a heavy protein meal or the kidneys did not excrete it.
