Been going to the doc for back,musc twitching, and nausea. had blood panel done. flags in 3 areas. anion gap 6(l), co2 30(h), and creatinine 1.44(h). doc says tests show normal/stable kidney funct and electrolytes. how should i interpret the flags?

Unless you have history of chronic kidney disease, creatinine of 1.44 is not stable or normal kidney function. If you have had vomit, other than just nausea, the results are consistent with metabolic alkalosis (due to vomit) and mild acute kidney injury with volume loss. If you did not vomit but taking certain meds, your meds could be the culprit. Yes, those flagged results need to be explained.

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your creatinine level is elevated and warrants consultation with a nephrologist. Wish you good health!
